Myrtle Beach Day 5

Today was a pretty cloudy day but it was actually really nice out. 

 

That night we played Kids Bingo in the activity center - the kids had fun!

 

 

We borrowed a few games from them and played them when we got back too!



Myrtle Beach Day 4

A storm was coming in today.  The morning had really dark skies and the red warning flags were on the beach that said "No swimming".

 

And then we saw this beauty.....

 

And the wind got stronger.....

 

....really strong....

 

 

and then it poured!

We stayed in and played games and did puzzles.

 

In the afternoon I was getting sick of sitting around  - my foot was feeling much better too so I took the kids and we headed to the Aquarium.  They had a special dinosaur exhibit and so I thought Sam would love it - well we didnt even make it into the actual exhibit...... we were this close and then t-rex growled..... Hannah started crying and Sam hid behind my leg.....so much for that!

 

 

The aquarium was small but nice.

 

The had a pretty large walkway that you went thru and could see the sharks and other animals all around you - pretty cool!

 



Myrtle Beach Day 3

At home Hannah only gets her pacifiers when she is in her crib but here at the beach she has been sneaking in her room and grabbing them - its so funny!

Today we headed over to the Woodsy Pool - Its a zero entry pool which I love!  Once again I sat on my chair and watched .... oh and took pictures =0)

 

 

And then we fed the fish!

Myrtle Beach Day 2

Today was a beautiful day!  Lots of sun and a nice breeze coming from the ocean.

We headed down to the pool - I was under strict orders to stay out of the pool due to a high chance of contracting mersa....lovely..... so I sat on the edge and watched my mom and the kids splash around....it sucked, but what can you do?

 

After lunch we headed to the activities center to see if Sam wanted to paint (to my surprise he didnt) instead we headed out to the small play structure in the back

 

Both kids were in bed by 7pm and mom and I just sat on the couch and read.  Thru the course of the week I actually read 2 whole books!!!!  Its def a weird trip when we arent going out in the evenings but btwn mom's leg and my foot we cant really do much.... at least we are saving lots of money! ha!

 





Myrtle Beach - Day 1

Everyone knows about my surgery...what you dont know is that my mom fell coming down the steps and hurt her ankle and calf pretty bad..... why is this so bad?  She was the one who was going to help me with the kids at the beach!  crap!

 

Well - we went anyway and figured it would all work out!  Mark had to drive me and the kids to my moms Friday night because if Sam had to pee or something there is no way I could use crutches and handle 2 kids.  We woke up Saturday morning and headed out around 10am.  We took our time and made a few stops here and there and arrived in MB around 6pm.  We had dinner and got the kids ready for bed.  Once Hannah was down me, Sam and  my mom went outside and sat on the balcony and the next thing we know there are fireworks going off at the beach!!!  Sam LOVED them!!  I dont think he has ever seen them before. 

Here's hoping we have a good week!

Surgery

I had my surgery today and it went well - The DR did request that I step on something a little larger next time as it took him 2 hours to get it out of my foot!  It ended up being leaded glass, not metal -he was happy he got it out - so was I!!

 

 

 

Recovery was ok - I had to be intubated so my throat is killing me - I can only eat soft foods.  I am on crutches right now and was told not to put any weight on my foot for 5 days. Crutches with 2 toddlers is hard. Lucky for me Mark has stepped up to the plate and is doing everything - Sam has pleasantly surprised me such that he understands I cant do everything with him and he needs to ask daddy for things - he didnt even fuss when I told him daddy had to put him to bed.  Hannah is laid back so she is doing fine - She does like for me to hold her so I sit in the play room so she can snuggle on my lap.

 

I head to Myrtle Beach next week and was told no pool!  He said my risk of mersa was extremely high  =(  ugh.....  So, last night I ordered some rain boots - I figure I can cover my foot and at least get in the baby pool with Hannah - I may look stupid but oh well =)

 

Here's to a speedy recovery!

Our 7th Anniversary



then

 

I surprised Mark the day before our anniversary and hired a babysitter!  Megan showed up at 4:30 on Sunday and Mark was very confused!  haha

I told him we were going on a date!

 

First we headed out for a little mini golf (he won!) and then to PF Changs for some dinner.  It was so nice to get away for a few hours alone - that never happens!

 

 

Its been a great 7 years - moved from St Leonard's to Bryans Road to Alexandria to Doylestown. Lived with my mom for about 6 months and Mark's mom lived with us for a little over a year.  We had 2 kids. Mark has had 3 jobs and I have been lucky enough to have the same one since we met.

 



We dont have a "perfect" marriage but we have a great one. We have a great life.  I couldnt ask for more. I cant wait to see what life brings us the next 7 years..... hopefully more of the same!

 

Always...... All Ways..... I love you !
