I'm having a conversation with Eli and Ham right now, so sorry if I am a little preoccupied.

This weekend was both fun and trying. I think after this is all over I might have to change my name because it gets whined too much. Haha.
Again, I am burnt. I'm pretty sure that gallons of sunscreen arent enough anymore. Not fun. But biking for hours and swimming were pretty awesome. Yesterday I took the girls for a bike ride and we stopped at Sam's Grandma's house on the beach. The girls were warm, so we just stuck our toes in the water... and then I may have pushed someone in... and before I knew it we were all soaked. no swimsuits.... silly me. It was so much fun though. We brought a lightweight raft out and tried rocking each other off for about an hour. Really bonded with Sam and Athena. Audrey just built sandcastles.
That night the girls (who have to share a queen bed) argued for about 20 mins in bed before I said that if I heard anything the perpetrator would have to sleep on the floor for the remainder of the night. I actually said "first and only warning". I felt like my Mom. Not saying that is a bad thing, but... I dunno. It was just weird. I didnt yell at them at all, and Athena still wanted a hug before she went to sleep. She is my little cuddlebug. I adore Sam and Athena, but Audrey is going to be a hard one.
We went fishing that night. Thought it would be fun off the dock. I love to go fishing. Have great memories fishing with my dad. He would always make me kiss the fish before we threw it back. So anyway, we're getting ready to fish off the dock/boat, and I thought we had lures. Turns out they use real worms. I, for the life of me, canNOT get a worm on a hook. Always had Daddy do it. I dont like... killing things. So anyway, the girls and I had a great time trying to get me to stab a worm for my own enjoyment. I caught one fish and Athena caught one. I had to hold them both times, which I had no problem doing. I like fish. But both times we had a hard time getting the hooks out. Not fun. The poor fish bled all over me. Poor babies... so anyway, Sam catches this monster fish with blood-red eyes...we couldnt get the hook out. Sam yanks the hook for like 5 minutes and just when I think the fish is going to snap in half, it jumps. I scream and let go. The thing was HUGE. It lands on the seat and falls (without the hook) into this little crack in the boat... cant get the thing out. I'm not gonna grab it with my hands... its got prickles. The girls are screaming, I'm screaming, and the parents are gone. Athena grabs a bucket of water and pours it over the fish to "keep it alive". I know the poor thing isnt going to make it. We end up leaving it in there and pick up up the next day. I threw it into the lake and it sank... poor fish. Baaaaad experience. Haha.
Anyway, it is 11.16pm and I have to drive Sam to the bus stop tomorrow at 6.45am... time to pretend to sleep.
