A Haystack in the Ocean

I forgot to mention that one other bad thing happened at the beach this weekend...  We went out to eat breakfast at Pig 'n Pancake and I got Blintzes.  That part wasn't bad.  They were delicious.  But I didn't finish them, so I got a take home box.  I was carrying TerraDactyl home from the restaurant, so Grandpa carried my take home box for me.  One the quarter mile walk, a seagull flew straight at Grandpa's face and at the last second it veered up and missed him.  Well, it missed flying into him.  The seagull did poop directly on my take home box!  My poor left over blintz were sacrificed, but at least Grandpa had a bit of shield from the hostile natives. 

Grandpa and a giggling TerraDactyl

On Monday we took a short day trip to try and see some tide pools.  Unfortunately, the tide wasn't very low, so there wasn't much we could see.  And the place we chose was pretty restrictive as to how close you could get to the tide pools.  Probably too many tourists come in the area.  Oh well. 

Family Selfie!

We did a good job packing for the trip, except we did not pack any hats!  I remembered to pack a warm hat and a sun hat for TerraDactyl, but none for DH and I.  Fortunately, Grandma brought spares.  We needed them!  It was cold and windy on the beach. 

How many feet does this baby have??  She kept getting her feet free of her unicorn footies.

One last snuggle with Grandpa before heading back home

Honey, Where are my pants?

The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
