End of our Summer Days.....

First task after our company left and T man was feeling better was, "get rid of the bink!" Especially while Jeff is gone. He would be a total push over on this one. He hates to hear T man cry and we would end up fighting over a stupid BINK!!!

T was so ready anyway. He was starting to chew on them and one by one they were going in the trash! I was not going to buy anymore. They are so expensive and all they do is hold this poor child back. He hasn't stop talking since I took it away!

The first day was rough, but by the second day he asked for it twice and never heard a peep about it after that. God, the thought of doing it was frightening, but it actually wasn't that bad! Note to self: Don't offer the next baby a bink! {ok, maybe! But that's worse case.}

Jt never needed or wanted it, T man needed it.

So glad that is over!

Besides, he has the cutest smile that was hiding and now he lights up the room!

Boys will be boys, right!?!?

These are just a few of the little creatures we've caught around the house. Jt is getting better at catching and letting them go now. Before he would want to keep them until he eventually killed them. So proud of him for being so gentle and letting them go to eat the bugs around our house!
Our friend Kelly and her 2 girls invited us to the Fernandina Beach public pool the week before school started. The boys have been dying to play with her girls, so they were thrilled! We had the kiddie pool to ourselves, Kelly and I laid out while they played so it was nice and relaxing! We then went to lunch and headed home to rest!

A few days later gma Kathy came to rescue me from cooking another meal! We sang happy Birthday to her and had some yummy red velvet cupcakes! Although it was her celebration, she made us a yummy salmon dinner. Can't wait for Jeff to get home and help me cook! Thank you Kathy!!!!

We also went to The Metro Diner from Diner, Drive Ins and Dives. OMG was it good! Small and fun. Definitely going back. All the things that were on the show would give you a heart attack, so I stuck to my favorite. Eggs Benedict!

We then ventured downtown to ride the train that goes around downtown. We saw some pretty interesting people, buildings and it was FREE! That was on my list of things to do this summer. I definitely didn't want to do it alone though.
The boys loved it!

The last day Kathy was here, I asked her if I could run out by myself for a couple hours and putz around. She was more then happy to watch the boys, so I headed to the beach! Again, I went to Micklers. Searching for shark teeth is addicting! It's so hard to do with both boys, but managed to take T on another day and found a few more!

Anyway, there are a few turtle nests. I'm hoping we can catch them hatching!

I pretty much just sat on the beach searching. No screaming, No one calling me MOM and the sound of the ocean in the background!

I seriously could be a beach bum. My heart is truely here, but my mind is wanting to be home. Hopefully one day we can either retire or have a house at the beach.
Overall, it was awesome! Haven't really had a moment to myself since Jeff left.

{Finally caught up on my blog!!!} Now time for school!
