It's his sense of humor
This is what I love about the guy.

MY BABY GIRL IS ONE!!!!
Lucy is a year old today. As of 5:40pm, she is no longer an infant. She is my last child and she is swiftly growing up. Tomorrow, she could be in middle school. I feel so old. I'm fairly certain that tomorrow morning when I wake up I am going to find a gray hair. I have not found one yet, but I'm trying to prepare myself for that day. I think I might actually do something drastic, like go blonde, when it happens.
Dad & Diane came up for the afternoon. They came bearing gifts. Lucy took a few minutes to warm up, but then she was really in her element, being her usual cheeky self. Of course, the other three children received gifts, too.
For dinner, we went to Golden Corral (I didn't realize they don't sing Happy Birthday to guests anymore - what stinkers). We ate a ton, including Lucy. She devoured mac n' cheese, her favorite, and even stole some of Drake's mashed potatoes off his plate.
Then she got her feet involved.
And found out how much fun it is to squish mashed potatoes between your fingers.
Lucy topped off the night by eating a bowl of ice cream with the wrong end of the spoon.

I know now I could never be a single mom. I can't keep up with everything around the house and work, too.
I forgot to pay the water bill so I had to get up at the crack of dawn yesterday and drive to Town Hall in my PJ's before the truck left to turn our water off. I just made it, too, thank goodness, or I'd have had to pay them $70 in reconnect fees.
Also, my kids are not eating a lot of vegetables these days, and I'm not really sure when they last bathed. I can't find any lids to Drake's sippy cups. We've had frozen pizza for dinner three times.
Oh, and there is a huge cardboard construction on my front lawn. It looks really tacky. Skylar, Bart, and Drake played with their two friends from across the street today. They wanted to get some cardboard boxes and build a clubhouse with tape and glue. So I said OK, like a dummy, and told them to do it under the shade of the big magnolia out front. So Skylar and Sydney come back from Sydney's house with several boxes, one of which is a gun safe box, taller than I am. I realized then that they were pretty serious about their construction. They worked on it for a couple of hours, gluing, taping, and finally tying the clubhouse to some lower limbs of the magnolia to keep it standing. It's a pretty cool clubhouse, but a pretty trashy lawn ornament. I'm going to have a time trying to convince the kids to recycle it.

Buh Bye Summer
Monday a bunch of us went to the beach for one last summertime hurrah. It was a glorious day for being out on the beach. It was hot but not too hot, the wind and waves weren't too terribly rough, and the water felt fabulous. On days like that, I would absolutely pitch a tent and live on the beach.
Actually, we did pitch a tent, but Drake was the only one who used it.
Lucy tested out her sea legs.
Skylar and Jamie got buried in the sand....
....and dug themselves free again.
The boys dug a pretty cool pool that lasted until the tide came in.
Lucy only ate a little sand this time.
PO'd
I'm mad at my husband. Half of my blog posts are about him and our life together, but he has not even posted one picture of me on his Facebook page. Not one. There are a ton of pictures of the kids, as I would expect, but nothing of me. He posts about getting the runs in Mexico, but is there even one word about his beloved wife????
I think even a bad picture of me would be better than nothing at all!!!! Now I'm wishing I had taken the Imodium out of his suitcase before he left.
