I was going to skip my post today because I just wasn’t feeling inspired to write about anything. I thought about telling you how Trinity and I went to the beach by ourselves on Wednesday afternoon only to be greeted by freezing water and cold winds. I had previously promised a big swimming adventure and was freaking out when I felt the water.
Of course she wouldn’t let me take back my promise so I had to go in and dunk my head. It took me about 15 minutes because I waited until most of my body was numb and then I finally dove under a wave. Once I did that she said, “OK, let’s get it out, I’m cold!” You know it is cold in the ocean when your 11 year doesn’t want to stay in a swim after 15 minutes. We then built some sand castles and collected sand crabs.
I was then contemplating telling you about the cake I am making for my nephew on Sunday. I make my niece and nephew’s a special dessert for each of their birthdays. I called my nephew to get his order last night and he requested a confetti cake with a red and blue rocket on the top with a number 11 drawn in. Hmmmm. Haven’t decided yet if I am just going to draw the rocket on top of a sheet cake or construct one coming out of the cake. I still need to complete more research but I like the idea of it taking off from the center. Will take a picture for you.
And finally I decided to write this post when I found Tiara sitting at the back porch table eating humus out of the container. She had all the crackers everywhere and the ipad was covered in hummus. As I cleaned the ipad crevices with toothpicks and q-tips I realized she was missing. I went in search of my destructo child and found her sitting on my bathroom floor spreading a combination of my eye cream, face lighting cream and sunscreen all over her legs. Needless to say I just screamed and freaked out because no one one messes with my face products!
And last but no least I thought about telling you how I am horrible at checking emails. I have 3 different email accounts and my oldest one has over 30,000 emails I haven’t dealt with. It is usually just ads so I briefly flip through it maybe once a day. Today I was looking and found an Evite reminder. What, an Evite? Obviously I had never seen the invitation until today, 3 days before the party, loser alert, but I responded right away. I then looked at my other account with 17,000 emails and sighed. I keep promising myself I will take the time to delete them and move on but I just can’t seem to find the time or energy for such a boring task. My last account is in better shape as it only has a few 100 emails I haven’t deleted. Do you have this same problem?
Anyways, hope you all have a great weekend!
xoxo tiffani

Have a great weekend and you made me thankful that my kids haven’t gotten into my makeup just yet, but have a feeling that day is coming, because both are fascinated by it!! xoxo 🙂

Gotta love the “LIFEPROOF” on the iPad! Wouldn’t it be nice if everything was lifeproof?!

Hey. I had a thought about the cake. If you are like me and keep things like empty paper towel rolls, you could make a pretty cool rocket out of it. 🙂

That was one of my thoughts! Think I am going to try that, seems pretty easy….

For all the things you didn’t write your post on, I just love the pics of you and Trinity at the beach. I loved the black and white and I also like building sandcastles, too.

Never dull for you. I remember how surprised I was how cold the Pacific Ocean was compared to the Atlantic. I am with you — I’m not a big cold water swim fan. Though once you are in and moving around, it’s actually pretty invigorating. Hope you are having restful weekend.

I abandoned my yahoo account because I couldn’t deal with the 10,000 e-mail backlog. Went to GMail.
