Scuba Skylar!! And the madness of trip-taking!

A couple of weekends ago, we decided to head down to Galveston for a little 'fun in the sun.' It was such a last minute decision made by my neighbor and I. I think we sometimes forget how challenging things become when you have kids. For example, if it were just Matthew and I, we would most likely wake up around 9 or so, hang out in our p.j's while drinking some coffee. He would most likely play some xbox while I catch up on some gossip via myspace and then we would finally decide to get dressed and head out. And the crazy part is, we would still manage to get there around 10:30 or so!!

Now, here's the reality of having kids...

Sarah and dear neighbor, Kristen decide at midnight that a fun-filled trip to Galveston would take place THE NEXT DAY! No problems, right?! So, the night goes on with our sweet husbands staying up until 3, make that 4 in the morning doing God knows what?!! And now the morning begins:

-wake up

-growl at dear husband for ignoring cries from sweet baby

-change diaper (toxic diaper...morning ritual)

-make breakfast

-clean wall and kitchen floor from breakfast chaos

-make coffee

-go wake dear husband

-call neighbor: "we still on for G-town?"

-hunt down cooler

-turn on Nemo (for the umpteenth time)

-dress sweet baby

-re-dress sweet baby into "the perfect outfit"

-start slicing celery and fruits

-make sandwiches

-wake up dear husband..AGAIN!

-finish packing cooler with drinks

-pack Skylars things for the beach
-wait, where's Skylar's bathing suit?

-finish packing her other items

-remove sweet baby from end table

-place sweet baby in timeout for biting Mommy because of removal from said end table

-finally! get mommy dressed!

-let dog out

-load car

-go to McDonald's for breakfast (remember ours ended up on the kitchen floor)

-go to Target for bathing suit (hers was missing and she had to have a UV-protected one, duh!)

-hunt down beach toys while at Target

-dear husbands sent to get ice and fill cars up with gas

-and TADA!!! finally head to Galveston!!

-Arrive at noon

-Depart at 2 due to screaming fits from sweet baby

Such a wonderful day!!! Enjoy the pics!!Mommy and Skylar! Her first time on the beach!!
