OK, so i am now easily able to admit that i suck as a "blogger". As someone that tends to be verbose, i actually did not foresee this failure coming, but again it has been atleast 7-8 weeks since my last post....
So, this summer has brought new challenges for me. Like how to physically get a 3 year old, a 6 week old, a double jogger, 2 beach chairs (of course violet needs one, even though she never sits), a portable little sand bassinet (a borrow from a friend that is AWESOME for this age on the beach, complete with zip up sun shades, sandblocker and wind breezeway), a beach bag with towels-block-mags(that i never get to read)-diapers-wipes-snacks-water-wallet-cell phone-baseball cap-changing clothes-ect.-ect.-ect., an umbrella and a sandscrew, a bag of buckets and shovels, a bag of pool toys (just in case the 3 year old decides the beach is lame when we get there, and wants to go up to the pool), and i am sure that i forgot something, but you get the idea.... (And, oh yeah, this morning i tried to incorporate a cup of hot Joe into the equation and that did not work out very well!)
Then there is the day when you manage to do the above, stick in a drop-off and pick-up at swim school, and get back down to the beach only to have the heavens open up and get poured on while trying to repack and scrabble to a drier locale - THAT was fun. What is the rule?? No solo cocktails before 1pm??
Anyhow, life is grand and i really shouldn't complain... here is a new pic of my girls and another "sugarbaby", errrrr, i mean "sugardude". And officially Sadie will make her debut as a new "sugarbaby" when i manage to snap a pic of her with her quilt. It is a sweet one, I made it a couple of months ago and hid it from my customers in case I had a girl - then low and behold, i had a little girl named Sadie....
New Jersey's aspiring chef "CJ"... looking dappier, yet edgy in his baking apron and ready to whip up a culinary delight for his mom and dad... a brontasaurous burger, I think!
