Sorry for the silencio this week. My parents came for a visit, which was awesome, and then Charlotte and the Ogre came down with the flu, which was not awesome. So let\u2019s focus on the former, yeah?<\/p>\n

We had ice cream at the Bean, dinner at the Pub, went to the beach, hung out with bikers, and Liam got a haircut. Here\u2019s a brief glimpse, in photo form, of our weekend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

It was my first time ever to bury a child in the sand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Charlotte was mildly afraid of the water but had tons of fun in the sand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Liam was terrified of the water and took refuge in mine and my mother\u2019s laps for the whole three hours, except for the time when I dragged him into the water anyway and laughed when he freaked. I\u2019m so mean.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is the beach which is an hour drive from our house. Unbelievable, no?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Here\u2019s Liam, post-haircut the next day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Me, my mom and the minions hanging out in Ave<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

The Queen Mary Pub hosted a Bikers and Blues Festival (I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s what it was actually called but that\u2019s what it was, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m calling it) on Saturday. It was so awesome. The music was great, shiny motorcycles were plentiful, and studded leather abounded. After about half an hour of wandering through the fierce-looking crowd, Sienna declared her new goal in life is to grow up and become a biker ballerina.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I knew that 1) I must be doing something right and 2) my kid is awesome.<\/p>\n

But alas, today I have temperatures to take and medicine to administer, and the poor Ogre dragged himself to work in spite of his fever because he didn\u2019t want to abandon his students during midterms so I\u2019ll have to periodically call him and make sure he\u2019s still, you know, alive. Have a happy Monday, everyone!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
