A Good One

Another great Saturday! It didn't start out particularly great. I mean who wants to go to the doctors office on Saturday about an ingrown toenail with their 5 year old twins tagging along because daddy is away again? But the girls were in being little angels and charmed every nurse in the office. One of them even suggested that I should look into having them model. Ha, ha! She said they were so cute and so polite and so well behaved, I told her they have their moments.

Once we made it out of the doctors office the day was beautiful, which reminded me I have no shorts that fit me anymore and the girls have outgrown all theirs too so I decided to do a little shopping. Since I had to try on clothes the girls decided they wanted to try on their clothes too and this is now their new favorite thing to do. I'm sure we provided many, many laughs for the other dressing room patrons as they listened to the dressing room antics of my girls. Between jumping on the benches, singing and humming every song they know (which is a substantial amount) and commenting on how good they and I look I can barely keep a straight face myself.

So after the shopping we tried to stop by the library, but it was already closed. Since our library is right on the ocean we drove by the little beach park and it looked busy and I figured, hey, we just got new bathing suits and the girls are always up for anything to do with water so we detoured to the beach. We changed in the car "incognito" and luckily I keep one of those fold up picnic blankets in the van so we headed to the beach. I sat on my blanket, read my book, and watched the girls play for hours. It was soooo nice. They played in the water, made sand angels, collected shells, played with a little boy, then we walked the beach. Well we had no towels (I wasn't wet, but the girls were) so when we got to the car I dumped our purchases out and used the bags as seat protectors. I was so proud of myself. We were all so happy and I felt like supermom.
