Well, we just got back from 3 days down at Ocean Shores. We all had a BLAST! There was lots of time at the beach, Carlos and Levi jumped over the waves (screaming “salta”…thank you Dora the Explorer for that) and Trey loved digging in the mud and letting the waves splash into him.

We stayed at the Polynesian with my folks and the boys, they had a great two bedroom suite that fit us all very well. The pool (although REALLY warm) was fun for all. Levi got a cool new swimsuit that has floaty things in it and he can now swim around the whole pool on his own. He felt new freedom and had such a great time motoring around the pool. Carlos liked hanging onto either Dee or my back and having us swim him around. He also took some time to sit on the pool steps with Nana and “wash” his swimsuit. Trey was just happy to be in the pool and splashing. The boys had so much fun seeing Nana and Papa every day, too!

We got to see Linda and the girls (boy have they grown) on Friday for lunch, then Linda, Scott and the girls came out and had Chinese food with us Saturday night and we saw them again on Sunday on our way home. It was great to spend some time with them and to see the girls. Pickle is really getting so grown up, she’s 4 now. Emma is just starting to crawl and looks SO much like Leila did at that age.

Got home and fed the boys, got them through the bath and let them play for awhile before bed. Took that a little while to settle down and go to sleep. I headed to Safeway and did the weekly shopping….and I saved a TON. Spent $46 and saved $205. That’s the best I’ve done on a weekly drip to Safeway. There were lots of baby bath products that ended up being free with coupons, but it was a good week all in all, got some fruits and veggies and meats, too.

I’ll post pictures of the weekend when I unpack the camera.
