squeezing in some fun where we can

so the submarine is back. i think.

rob worked so much this weekend that it's almost like homecoming never happened. the only way i know he's back for sure, is that our bedroom has that special submarine smell, from all his seabags being unpacked.

saturday he was gone from 7am til 4pm, sunday was about the same. then yesterday we ran a few errands and intended on going to the beach in the afternoon. cade fell asleep, then rob fell asleep, then i fell asleep and we finally arrived at the beach around 6pm. we squeezed a little bit of memorial day fun in there, after all.

really, after an hour at the beach, i'm ready to go home anyway. by this time reese gets all kinds of sand in her swimsuit (from doing 'sand angels', the tropical version of a snow angel) and elisha has gotten bold enough to chase the waves as they roll back...just to get knocked off her feet with the next incoming wave. cade is actually pretty good at the beach, he brings a shovel and he'd be content to dig til his little tykes shovel breaks. anyway, within an hour you know someone is going to get hungry or thirsty or have to pee, so we plan short excursions. i can't wait for the day when i can go to the beach to relax or snooze in the sunshine or just people watch, uninterrupted.

today is tuesday and i would have sworn that rob said he'd get a few days off this week. i'm not holding my breath. :/
