Mother's Day, the Beach, sand in mouth and hair update

For Mother's day we went to Duke's in Malibu. I love Duke's because you can eat all you can eat all day long!!! ;) j/k

But seriously, I had like 20 fresh shrimp, some muscle in the shell, a cut of Roast Beef, FOUR waffles with strawberries and their special whipped cream, rice, eggs, some bacon, a sausage and eggs benedict. WHEW. I was stuffed!!!

Then we went to the crappy beaches of Santa Monica. I hate beaches - unless I'm in Hawaii. But the kids wanted to go so we did and they had a great time. We played soccer, we flew kites, Jake and Jessica played in the water and Bella ate sand. Yes, BELLA ATE SAND!

She's done it in the playground and now at the beach. She had to try it, just a lick, and she hated it. So she's trying desperately to get it out with her fingers when her fingers had sand on them so mo' sand mo' sand mo' sand...

Blech.

Bella chased a pigeon for a few minutes, then found fun jumping into a hole she made and rolling around in the sand. She would hop hop hop then plop down on her but as she approached the little hole. It was so cute.

When it was time to go, I was just about to pick her up when she JUST HAD TO TRY IT AGAIN. So she stuck out her tounge and jabbed it into a mound of sand. She didn't like it as usual, tried to get it out with her fingers and you know the story - mo' sand mo' sand mo' sand.
Blech.


There she is. Building the hole that she'd eventually have a meal of sand in.


And here's an update on my hair. I got it 'cleaned up' on Saturday and its looking decent finally. I'm going to grow it out but right now, today, I still don't like it.


And that was the weekend.
