More Shore
Today is our last day here at the shore. It's been a fun week. Beach, boogie boards, ocean swimming, the boardwalk, frolicking in the waves like Ariel :)
I think the girls have had a really good time. Rose, of course, has been a big giant butt a lot this week, but really she's a sweet kid :) Willow has emerged with only a big scrape on her knee, and has had a great time - particularly playing with the other little girl that was here (her age)... which i think was part of Rose's butt-ness this week... jealous that Willow had a playmate and she didn't. oh well, that's life.
tomorrow is our rockin' 4th of july in our little town... i think the motorcycle wake up call is at 8am... ugh... i mean, not like i'm not already up, but still.
i'll post a couple of pics once we get back home, and probably put the rest on facebook (hey blogger, how about you make uploading pictures easier???hmmm????)

The Shore
We're at the shore. Hooray!
Willow came down a day early with the grandparents and totally loved it.
We came down Sunday after church (my last Sunday playing at BRV...i cried) with Rose.
This morning was the first time this year for Rose to go down to the beach, and she ran full-on right for the water...once there, she was mildly taken aback by the coldness, and the fact that it was moving...but all in all they had a great time.
I lost my sunglasses, and Steve broke his, so after the girls were in bed tonight, we headed to Target...only to get there and realize that it was in fact a KMart...bleh...i tried on several pairs...they did have cute ladies sunglasses, but i have a giant melon head, so of course none of them fit me. the only ones to fit me were the mens, which looked ok...but wouldn't you know, the glasses that I got have "nascar" written on the ear piece doodads. many jokes were made at my expense.
We're having a great time. 2 weeks from today, i'm beginning my drive to TX. AAAHHHHHHHH. We'll be staying with one of Steve's sisters and her family once there, just outside of Fort Worth. There is still a TON of stuff to do around the house though.
But I'm going to enjoy the shore and not freak out about that right now.
Growing up, I had a friend who had a t-shirt that said "kids in Oregon don't tan, they rust". I always thought that was funny. i've ammended that to fit me...
"I don't tan, I mole."
In lieu of that fantastic trait of mine, I'm being careful of being in the sun too much...whereas the girls could be down there all day... so we're working towards a balance on that.
Not much else - just taking it easy, and enjoying the shore before jumping back into reality next week.

More Lasts
Tonight was my last time leading worship for kinship, and also our last "real" kinship. *sigh*
Two and a half weeks!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh yes, and Willow's had a fever for 3 days, so that's been fun too. Generally she seems okay...just the fever...feel free to pray.
Shore in 3 days. Woohoo!

Packing
If i weren't completely pooped from yesterday's trek into the city, i would come up with a clever rendition of some popular song to illustrate the fact that I have been packing a good bit today...packing for the shore trip next week, packing boxes, packing packing packing.
bleh.
i have too many lists running around in my head ...sure, i could write them down, but then i'd have to keep up with the paper in a house that is a little overturned at the moment (yes yes, the actual house is not overturned...)
we have a showing scheduled for saturday... woohoo! hopefully, they'll look at the ENTIRE house this time, and not just my smelly basement.

Into the City
oh my aching feet...
today, gennifer and i went into the city...via public transit... for the historical tour.
we really immersed ourselves in the sights and the smells :) of the city.
Liberty bell, visitor's center w/ movie, Independence Hall (with the same tour guide that I had a few years ago...she's very memorable), lunch at Reading Terminal Market, the Ben Franklin House and museum
on tap today in Philly, aside from the usual... an unusual homeless guy on the El, some break dancers/street dancers, an outspoken older lady on the trolley who insisted that a young man pull his pants up (in all fairness, his boxer covered butt was right in her face), and a big rat in the subway station
An adventure indeed :)
I did get mildly sniffy as this was probably my last such outing into the city. :(
And may I add that it was SO much easier without strollers or toddlers :)
