Wamsted Crazy Beach Week: Holes
I love our girls, but i dont love how early in the morning they insist on waking up! They don't wake up and play in their beds or sit quietly reading a book. They are raring to go and fully ON the minute their feet hit the floor!
At home, Paul usually gets up with them. I'm eternally thankful for that.
But at the beach, we agreed to switch out days. And since the Atlanta Wamsteds are keeping their Atlanta schedule, Kira and Jay are up with us as well.
They've loved playing in the cool sand.
Jay ventured out to the beach with us until John got up the first day. (and this picture is so stinking cute that it's making the blog twice!)
but these two holding hands...wins the prize!
Their first real encounter with the water was priceless, especially Anne Perry's! Can you hear her cackling laugh with excitement here? 
But Tuesday, I took the 4 girls out for a while. We followed animal footprints (aka bird tracks) and looked for shells. Then we decided to head out on a short walk in the opposite direction that day only to find this:
And the girls had a blast! They jumped in and climbed out of the hole. The two big girls gained their jumping independence pretty quickly, so Anne Perry thought she could do the same...only to jump into the deepest part of the hole and keep going straight in to the wall of the hole. She got a face and mouth full of sand. And promptly got out and did it again!
And then everyone sat in the hole and made pretend ice cream cones...Kira had M&M, Addie had swirl, and the little girls had whatever flavor the big girls came up with! We even stacked three pretend flavors to make a ginormous ice cream cone!
Because isn't that what you do when you're 4, 3, and 2 while standing in a hole on the beach at 6:30am?!?!?

And i'll have to admit, the past two mornings that i've gotten to get up early with them have been super sweet.

Mini Me
You might remember Addie mentioning that she wanted to be a "poh-tah-gruh-per" a few months ago.
Well my old-old camera was sitting around collecting dust. think the canon t4i back a generation to the original rebels to maybe 3 versions back. so maybe 7 versions old. it isn't worth selling. i used it as a backup camera up until a few months ago; but for some reason, i couldn't part with it. maybe because it was my first dslr.
maybe because of this little mini-me who begs to take pictures with my camera (!), enjoys having her picture taken more and more, and really is growing up entirely too quickly right before my eyes!
i was trying on a swimsuit this afternoon and my clothes started disappearing. audrey kate had put on my shirt. and before i knew it, addie was hiking up my athletic pants attempting to keep them on. of course anne perry wasn't going to be left out, so i went searching for a shirt for her, and i found addie putting on my jeans (?) and attempting to button them. by then, i'd confiscated my t-shirt and pants, so she needed something else to wear.
finally she was in something besides only her panties, even if it was my rolled up held up with a belt jeans and entirely too big shirt.
but could she be any more serious? i told her that sometimes i take a picture of "miss" allison while "miss" allison is taking a picture of me taking a picture of her; and addie thought that was a fabulous idea! so we went outside and did it!
my shot:
and hers:
she loves to immediately see what she's taken.
and we're working on using the zoom on the zoom lens...then again, maybe if i train her on a fixed lens, she'll just keep being the zoom herself ;o)

gracious lands i love this little girl!
