So Nice

Today was just a gorgeous long weekend weather day. We headed to the beach and although it took quite a while to get organized (Big D waited at the front door with the two boys as I frantically filled up the Petunia Pickle Bottom), we ended up spending the afternoon at the beach all by ourselves. Okay, not even close. We were there with like five million other Angelenos that all had the same idea as us. Although it was ridiculously crowded, it was still really fun. Mudd covered his toes in the sand and Jam ran around following the older kids. He calls them all "boys." He chases them and says "boys, come back!" The younger girls roll their eyes, I don't think that they appreciate the nickname so much. I even got a little bit of sun, and I know that my white legs appreciated the attention.
Update on Friday's post: While we were reading our bedtime books, I took Gabriela's advice and said "Jam, let's take the ice cream out and eat it." He looked at me as if I were absolutely mad and said "Mom, it's a book." I have no idea what changed from yesterday to today, but abstract concepts no longer!
