The Beach

We went to the beach today, I wish I could post pictures but it will have to wait until I get home.  I forgot my camera cord and my card doesn't fit into the laptop slot. We were all dressed like we were out in a snow storm with hats, boots and big coats.  Cash enjoyed it and didn't want to leave. My dad and him made sand castles, we walked into the water a little but not enough to get wet. Cash especially enjoyed knocking the sand castles down.  It was so windy and cold, I couldn't believe it.  We are due for some more bad weather this weekend.  The family will start arriving on Friday and we are trying to keep the party a surprise for Saturday. My dad and I have been trying to make all the plans, we will be taking Granny out for a birthday dinner on Friday to an Italian Restaurant.  Cash actually found the place while we were wandering around town this afternoon. He saw a balloon and I asked my dad to see if they would give us a balloon, they graciously got one for us. We thought the place looked nice. We went out and a few minutes later the balloon got loose from the string and away it went.  I wish you could have seen the look in Cash's eyes.  My dad seemed to think we could just get another one on Friday. Knowing how Cash loves Balloons, I suggested we ask for another one.  We were given a balloon, we promised we'd be back to eat on Friday. The second balloon made it back to the house but has already lost it's air. Cash would like a balloon for his birthday among other things, I'm going to surprise him with more than one.  It's amazing what kids love and how they can fall apart over something so meaningless to us. Well that's all for now, I had better go see what my dad is doing to the downstairs bathroom. He's already done the oil change on the car and many other odd jobs. It keeps him out of trouble though. By the way, I already checked out grocerysmarts website for this weeks grocery coupon savings and it looks like I'm not missing out on any killer deals. Lucky for Evin because I'd have to give him a crash course and send him to the store with the coupons (I can imagine him cringing while reading this). Talk to you later. Diane
