This is a cool Tag- thanks Kayelynn! Find the 4th picture in the 4th file folder and talk about it.
This is from March 2006. My sister and I drove our two little boys to spend a night down at Seaside in the new Trendwest hotel (which is super nice, BTW). My Mom and Larry, Aunt and Uncle, and maternal Grandparents were all staying there for the weekend. I remember plying Jared and Sterling with snacks the whole way so they'd be good- mostly with goldfish that ended up all of the truck. We all went to Mo's and then we took them to the outdoor wading pool. I remember Jared went right in and Sterling was afraid- very typical responses from both of them. We then tried to get two one-year-olds to go to sleep in the same room with us. I put Sterling in the Pack-N-Play in a corner and pinned a blanket to wall so he wouldn't be able to see me. He kept saying "Hi. Hi. Hi." while we ignored him until he went to sleep. I then tried to get some sleep on a super springy twin mattress- pretty hard to do when you're used to your king size Tempur-Pedic. *sigh*The next morning we took them down to the beach to play. They had a great time stomping in puddles and digging in the sand with their fingers. Coincidentally, I was sorting through Sterling's old clothes today for Hylton and found these tennis shoes in the tote with sand still clinging to the bottom... It made me smile to think where they must have been and how long ago- back when he didn't backtalk so much or make quite so many messes or have a sister to beat on.
I remember this weekend particularly well because Doug had a scheduled day surgery that was supposed to be no big deal and so I left him home. His mom took him in and picked him up. When I got home he was loaded on two different painkillers, both of which made him completely loopy and was home like that for two weeks straight- just lying on the couch completely out of touch with reality. He did several things (normal and otherwise) that he has no memory of!
Good times.
