September 26

We've had a busy couple days! Thursday was Will's 'Unbirthday.' I made him a boxed butter cream cake, I added 2 cups pureed strawberries instead of the water, used canned butter cream icing and made a quick filling of pureed strawberries simmered with a little sugar, cornstarch and a dash of cinnamon. Put some heart sprinkles on top, he LOVED it and he usually doesn't like sweets that much, he loves strawberries. He says 'strawbitties' He picked off a bunch of sprinkles, then ate some of the cake too, I think that's the first time he's really eaten and enjoyed cake, he's sampled frosting before but usually refuses the cake portion.

Today we started off the day by taking the kids to the beach for the first time. We went to Coronado, not that far from Hotel Del. It was great!! Almost nobody there, the weather was perfect, we parked free right near where we were sitting. We got to see some military guys training jogging and singing on the beach, they went by twice, like a parade. Will had a blast diving in the sand, digging, throwing sand everywhere, chasing birds and running around. He walked into the water with me once, got knocked over by a teeny wave he wasn't expecting and ran out of the water hehe. It was cold anyway! The sand was nice though. Lyn scooted around on the blanket determined to eat sand, and I'm sure she got some down, she was very determined. She got a bath in the sink when we got home, and looks not too thrilled in the pics but she really liked the bath and was just tired. Finished off the day with a trip home to wash off all the sand, then a run to the 2nd hand store (I got size 8 shorts! I'm sure they run big since everything else that fits is 10/12, but I've never worn size 8 and I'm over the moon!) then we went to the grocery store and Will was so exhausted he passed out in the cart about 4 and has been sleeping since. He almost never goes to sleep while we're out, and usually refuses to nap anymore even at home. I got him up for a Pediasure about bedtime and he went right back to sleep. Big day for our little guy!

Mini update on the condo, apparently there was a miscommunication so the agent thought it was 30 total days to get an answer, but it's 30-31 business days. That means by next Wednesday, not by the 19th as we'd thought. Sooo.. hurry up n keep waiting. Maybe we'll have an answer by Wednesday. Hope all are well & having as much fun as we've been!
