We picked them up at the airport Monday afternoon, but Alex wanted me to snap this photo of our newest friend hanging out near our orange tree by the front door. He found him right before we left for the airport, and he has been seen all week long hopping around in our landscaping. Alex is sure it is the same toad every time he sees him.
Alex had his first soccer practice on Wednesday. He was so excited to get out there and kick the ball around. Mom and Grandma got to see him practice too, and he loved having an audience.
On Thursday, the girls all went shopping and to see "the Help" which was amazing. If you can see it before it leaves the theatres, I highly recommend it! Friday, I had a much needed haircut and color, then we headed over to Mom's for swimming and dinner.
Love this view!
The water was a bit chilly.... we have had gorgeous weather this week (low 80's) but at night it has gotten down in the high 50's.
So they retreated to the hot tub to warm up. Alex saved 4 frogs from imminent death.
One of his almost-victims. I have to admit he was cute, for a frog. I am not a fan of anything that's slimy and jumps or slithers.
This child never ceases to make me smile.
Once we put all of the frogs back to their habitats, we went to work on dinner. Or Mom and Grandma did with some help from Alex.
Grandma's spaghetti and meatballs would be my last meal. I have tried and tried to replicate her recipe, but it never tastes as good. I think she is holding out some secret ingredient:)
We celebrated Caroline's birthday a few weeks early. Sis was happy to get some presents and blow out her candles. She will be 7 on the 21st of this month. Can someone please stop her from growing up?
Four generations....
The evening ended with a sleepover for the kids at grandma's house, and mommy and daddy got to go watch the sunset at Seaside.
Having family around has been wonderful!
