A strange day!

Yesterday morning while Swimminginlaundry was taking a shower, I decided I would dress Herbie and Bigweld. Their Mom had already put out their clothes except for the socks. I got Bigweld dressed but he was very specific about the socks. He wanted the green and blue striped ones with his tie shoes. I found those and finally got them on his feet. Then I got Herbie dressed. Then I looked in the sock drawer for matching socks. I couldn't find any that matched. I found one sock with dinosaurs and one with red and blue stripes. I said hey Herbie are these OK? He said sure so it wasn't long before I had him in his socks. I could only find one of his tie shoes so I found a pair he could slip on. When I held them up and said Herbie are these OK? He said sure. I guess it was kind of a shock to Mom when she saw what he was wearing but it didn't matter to him that his socks didn't match. It still makes me smile. I like to be spontaneous. (I can get depressed if I have to plan 30 minutes ahead). She says how can you be spontaneous with 3 kids. I had finally talked Swimminginlaundry into going to the coast. She had to go sometime. It was hard for her. It's hard for me. We got rained on, the wind blew and the sun came out. Sometimes all at the same time. We sat on a wet log and had lunch. Bigweld fell in the water and got soaked. Herbie got pooped on by the sea gulls we were feeding and Violet just wanted to go to the car because she was missing Grandpa and was cold. Everyone got their own bag of salt water taffy. It wasn't a normal trip to the coast but I think we did alright considering the year we had.
