Random Thoughts from the Holiday Weekend

We had a lovely Fourth of July weekend with our friends Paul and Caroline. We all ate way too much food, laughed much and thankfully, went to bed at decent hours. :)

Here is what I have learned from this past weekend:

~Do NOT go to the beach on the 4th. It is packed, parking is a nightmare, and your baby will want to leave after 40 minutes because it's close to his dinnertime.

~Wear lots of lots of sunscreen while at the beach. This is vitally important when you have skin the color of snow.

~Remember to drink lots of water during the course of the weekend. Your in utero baby (and your abdomen) will thank you.

~When you make a trifle for dessert, make sure you double the recipe because it is THAT good. Seriously.

~Your 14-month old will behave like an angel the entire weekend because he has people to show off for. Then he will boycott his naps for the very same reason.

~You will continually be doing dishes and catch a glimpse of the future when your children are older and eating you out of your house.

~Most importantly, you will have a blast with your friends and lament the fact that the weekend is over so soon.

Hope you all had great 4ths!!

Blessings and love,
Erin

Mmm, trifle.

Isn't it funny how kids are totally different around other people than they are at home?

Glad you had a fun weekend!
