We had a nice long weekend! I took the day off Friday as did Brian and we took the kids to the beach early in the morning to avoid the rush of beach go-ers. It was quite nice. Brian and Katie found a few hermit crabs while "swimming". I sat in my chair and read some of my book while Kasey sat in his car seat and slept. He likes the beach. hehe
Saturday we spent most of the day cleaning up the house. Oh, what fun! Katie and I sat in her pool for a couple of hours in the afternoon. She just loves the water. I wonder if she will be a swimmer like Brian. Brian put his new Florida license plate on his truck. He decided against the "Save the Manatee" plate and went with the Air Force one. I will probably do the same when it comes time to get new plates for the van.
On Sunday, I took Kasey in for his 3 month pictures. He looks so blonde in the pictures! I couldn't believe it when they popped up on the screen how blonde he looked. We got ready for the hurricanes in the afternoon. Well, at least partially. Hurricane season officially begins on June 1. So, we ran over to Sam's and stocked up on some water, canned goods, batteries, flashlights and things of that nature. We still need to get gas cans/water cans, gas and a generator. But at least we are somewhat prepared in case one hits us!
Yesterday was Brian's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN! He woke up crabby as can be because the one thing he really wanted for his birthday was to sleep in. Well, the kids wake up by 6:00am every day and we were being loud yesterday so he couldn't sleep in. Sorry, honey! We drove around the base to find the beaches here on base and the camping areas and stuff. We were under several planes when they took off. That is still so cool! Then we ran over to Destin and went to Bass Pro Shops and had some lunch at the Tropical Smoothie. Yummy! After we got back home, Katie and I sat in her pool again for a couple of hours and we brought Kasey out to the pool for a few minutes after his nap. I think the water was just a tad bit too cold. He liked it for a few minutes then Katie started splashing so he got a little sour look on his face which told me he was done. It was very cute! Then I made some dinner and we sang "Happy Birthday" to Brian, had some VERY chocolate cake that I made and some chocolate ice cream (you can't have too much chocolate, can you?). Then it was up to the tub for the kids and finally bed time for us. I was pooped!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
