1) My brothers are the same no matter how old and love to play practical jokes on me. I am a nervous wreck and in serious need of Valium. Last night I went to bed after experiencing a near-heart attack, storming in the house and locking myself in my room. I had to remind myself I'm not 8 years old.
2) Chocolate chip cookies for breakfast are 100 times better when staring at the ocean.
3) I really don't like flying kites. Once you get them in the air ... then what? Boring.
4) My girls have almost nothing to do with me when there are 3 other girls their age in the house. I miss them and they are in the next room.
5) I am still the champion of Scrabble.
6) When will we ever learn NOT to take 15 chairs, 5 wave boards, 2 kites, 3 fishing poles, 2 coolers, 3 beach bags and 5 sand buckets to the ocean? At the end of the day we will curse every single item and threaten to leave it all to wash away.
7) It is actually possible to eat 14 meals a day. Just pace yourself in between naps and it can be done.
8) The game of Monopoly ought to come with divorce papers.
9) The end-of-day shower routine with 5 little girls coated with sand is brutal.
10) I wonder how we go so long without spending so much time together. It's always challenging, but always rewarding. I love my family!

I agree with everything in your post emphatically, especially the boredom in flying kites, the taking way too much to the beach and "divorce" monopoly(you know that stems from our competitive nature)! I will have to say that T and JP are clones of your father and you LOVE it!! Now, moving on to Scrabble and that competitiveness......you may be the champion of the family but I will ALWAYS reign surpreme!!! Love ya- keep having fun.
Glad you are having such a good time at the beach. I agree with Cathy T and JP are you dad made over and you DO LOVE IT.
I can image 5 little girls at bath time, hope you had lots of bubbles for them.
What wonderful memories the girls will have.
Have fun but hurry home miss you guys !!!!!!!
Love ya
I love this post. SO sweet!
And I'm glad to know that there are others out there that (ahem) doesn't fare well playing games with hubbys sometimes. =)
haha! I'm with you on monopoly should come with divorce papers!lol
I'm glad you are enjoying your time with your family and your girls are having fun.
All wonderful things... I'd love to be around you - we'd get some MAD SKILLS Scrabble games going :)
Glad to hear you are having fun! But I know what you mean about thinking you need all of those things at the beach! By the end of the day you are tired and to think you didn't even use half of it and if your kids are like mine they are too tired to help carry anything! Drives me crazy!
And you are NOT going to believe this, but I have NEVER played Scrabble before NEVER!!!!
Enjoy your time together!

We are soooooo going to have to play Scrabble when we move closer to you (and only the Lord knows when that will be!!). Watch out.....I'm a nerd with a wide vocabulary. :)
