So, it was sunny! Today! For a few short hours. We raced out the door to the beach. It was freezing, but sunny. The kids played and skipped rocks and the dogs screeched and hopped in and out of the very cold pacific ocean. The rain sort of cleared away yesterday and immediately the temperature dropped. Snow! Is next i'm sure.
A few months ago my kids (Toby) managed to erase all my digital photos prior to september 2003. Luckily, my dad had copied my whole library onto his computer, unbeknownst to me, but whatever! I've never been so glad to be ripped off.
To show you what could have been gone forever here is Eliza the cutest baby that ever lived in December 2001:
As it was payday today we went out for dinner tonight, which will surely screw me out of groceries three days before the next payday. But, oh well. I just couldn't face cooking, or cleaning or laundry all weekend. So today we needed something besides bowls of cereal for dinner.
On the way home we were talking about which kid did what when. Tristan rode a bike first, Toby weighed the most at birth, Eliza the least, Parker was the only one that crawled and so on. Every single thing we talked about became a competition for tristan. That means i was #2! Or i was the best, the first, most perfect! It amazes me how birth order really does help to define each of these kids. Tristan is the oldest and needs to be right and the best all the time. Otherwise she cries. Drives me crazy.
Tomorrow? School - yippee.

My kids do that too. Actually, Erin does it most. I attribute that to second child "look at me" disorder (she could also be considered a middle child as well I guess?). Unfortunately she never did anything first and weighed the least. Poor kid.
