Girls Weekend

We finally had our long awaited girls only weekend that we have been trying to plan for almost 2 years. We started off with grand ideas of full resort spa getaways and at last settled on going as far as D.C. and Georgetown. We had reservations at a bed and breakfast in Dupont Circle and had big shopping plans!! Then...................... One of our girls broke her foot and is on crutches and cannot bear weight for 4 months. We were booked on the third floor and they had no elevator (bummer), and shopping down there entails lots and lots of walking and very little parking, so we bagged those plans and drove to the beach house. We did a lot of relaxing, a bit of outlet shopping , ate out every night and watched chick flicks. Overall we had a great time and a quiet weekend away.

vanishing hair????

Jack must be going through a very observant phase right now. He seems to be noticing everything under the sun lately. Yesterday he was talking with TJ and he asked him very matter-of-factly, "daddy, did someone take your hair"? TJ was like "what do you mean"? "Well, you don't have the same hair anymore"......I am not sure if he mentioned the color or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing like a little reality check from your 4 year old eh?

removable penis???

I was in the bathroom yesterday after my shower and Jack came in the room for a visit. He was looking at me and my bum like something was not in order. He finally said with a sweet little quizzacle (is that even a word)? look on his face, " where is your penis mommy"? I said "Jack, I don't have a penis because I am a girl and only boys have them". He said, "where did it go"? I said "it didn't go anywhere, I never had one because only boys have them". "Oh", he said. Still looking very sweet, he said "mommy, I love you and I will give you my penis if you want to have it"..... "That's very sweet Jack, but how do you suppose that you would do that"? Very matter-of-factly , like duh," I would unscrew it so you could screw it onto you"! "Oh, I see". "Thank you for thinking of me sweetie, but your penis is attached and will not unscrew". "What"??? He reaches down and gives a little tug and says "well, God didn't make it very good if you can't share it"... Oh, little does he know now just how much he might one day share that poorly made thing that doesn't unscrew!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stealing is wrong, wrong, wrong!!

So, I am just venting as I sit here wondering how on earth I ended up giving up my once a month Bunko night. My husband could never seem to make it home from work on that one night a month in time for me to go so I quit the group. Now it seems that the wine club he is going to is on the exact same night once a month (an hour earlier) and guess who seems to be making them all?

How does this stuff happen? He stole my night, my bunko, my fun!!! Men.........

Finally complete!

This is a picture of my first (completed) knitted baby blanket. I started this many months ago along with umpteen other projects, and I am glad to be finished with one of them!! This is going to my cousin Teri for her newest little boy, Liam. I hope she likes!!!!

Our bungalow

What you see as you approach Tiamo-you'd never know it was there!!

This is called the"crack". We had a 30 minute kayak to get to it and then had to dive under the "crack" to get to the lagoon on the other side to snorkel. It was amazing!!
