Funny stories for today

This afternoon Nate and I took the kids to the beach. We have now (after today) learned that the beach gets VERY windy after 4pm so beach time is now from 11am to 3pm. While Nate and I are wrapped in towels watching the fearless kids play in the sand. Cori and Joel both made volcano looking castles with ditches around to protect from the waves. The kids were getting really mad at the water/waves for crashing into their sand castles. It was fun for me to watch.

This past week my mom kept my nephew Lucas for 3 days. This is the first time she has kept him at her house. He usually stays with Aunt Val, Uncle Nate, Cordi (cori) and Joel. I talked to Mom and Lucas each day on skype which was fun. Lucas kept asking when we were going to come over and play. That was hard to answer. Anyway by the 3rd day Lucas understood that we were in California and would tell us where his house was and where our house was.

Look at that Smile!!!!!!

Surprises for Nana, from Lucas.
#1   Mom bought a small plastic pool for Lucas to swim in. She got him all dressed in his swimsuit and the pool all filled up. Lucas went out, got naked and then jumped in the pool....thought it was a giant bathtub. He is 2 1/2 so mom let him keep swimming. She also told him not to pee or poop in her pool. He did not. He got out of the pool and proceded to poop in the patio beside the pool.....not in the pool, nana......is what he told her.

#2  Nana gave Lucas 2 poptarts for snack his first day there. Nana did not ask if Lucas ate both poptarts. Nana went to go to bead that night and found a HUGE pile of ants in her bed. Guess where the other poptart went???????
