Monday Dad and I decided to head to the beach because...well, because it was Monday and the sky was blue. So we all played a little hooky and drove west for the night. We chased that sunset and made it just in time for the sky-fest and enough light for s'mores. It was cold enough to make that first hot shower feel like the best shower you've ever had.

Both kids napped in the car until after 5 so we stayed up way past our bedtimes and pulled out some games. I upped the ante on Arthur Memory by putting one whole dollar in the pot. Guess who won?

Use your muscles to get me out of here super mommy!
And then it hits you. I might be sunburned. Maybe we should have taken naps and drank a glass of water. How much sand is in my underwear exactly?
