Hi ladies!! The family & I are back from our long weekend to the Texas coast! We had so much fun and I thought I'd share a few highlights from the trip with you!!

1) Camille was a little freaked out by the crabs on the beach...most of all by the "crab holes" that were here and there in the sand where the little guys had dug themselves in/out. She quickly thought they were great once she realized that she could stomp on the holes and fill them in. She's been coming up with the most um, imaginative names for our new baby, and the latest is now...."Crab Hole." Couldn't you just see that on a birth certificate!!

2) When we got to our condo on Friday night, it was FILTHY!! The cleaning crew had skipped it, evidently. It was pretty late, so another crew couldn't be sent out until the morning. So, imagine if you will a big ol' preggo lady scrubbing the condo and getting it clean so we could relax! after the 4 hour drive! The owner was fantastic, however, and apologized to no end. We ended up getting a really nice refund which funded all of our dinners out & activities for the weekend.....score!!

3) And, lastly.....I want to share this so hopefully no one else makes the same mistake: On our first day out in the sun, I lathered Camille up with sunscreen, but evidently missed two very important areas - - the little circles beneath her eyes. She looks like a bright red raccoon, and I feel horrible!! It's not that bad, but every time I look at her sweet little face with those red patches I feel so guilty. So, be a better mom than me this summer & cover your babies with SPF!!

Glad to be back, ladies!! Thanks for indulging me with the vacay recap!!

ooohhh, poor Camille! I always have a hard time getting sunscreen on Maggie's face because she gets all squirmy. Those sunscreen sticks are awesome for that. I'm lucky that my girls both have DH's olive skin tone (though not Maggie as much as she used to), so I don't have to worry about it quite as much as I do about my own pasty skin! lol

Glad you had a great time! I think Crab Hole Couch sounds like a great name! LMAO!

Glad to hear that you had a pretty good time, after getting the condo cleaned up and all. I can't imagine walking into something that I had to clean just to be able to relax for a weekend. Glad to hear that the owner made things right for you guys.

Oh Christine, that doesn't sound fun (cleaning upon arrival) but I am glad they compinsated you well for the inconvience!!

Your poor DD with the sunscreen. I always am afraid to get too close to the eyes and my kiddos always get the red circles :( Makes me feel horrible, but I can't image getting sunscreen IN their eyes! :unknw:
