For Today...

Outside my window... three baby foxes living in our backyard!

  I am thinking... about taking my car to the carwash today to get all the saltwater grime off of it.

 I am thankful for... a fun, safe trip to the beach with great weather!

 From the kitchen... hamburgers, perhaps? We had planned on bringing shrimp home from the beach, so I was going to grill shrimp tonight. Unfortunately, we waited until after 6:00 on Sunday evening to get it, and all the seafood markets were closed. Bummer.

 I am creating... just this post.

I am going... to lunch with my parents today.

I am reading...  Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue. I just finished Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot this morning. I think it was better than the first book, or perhaps I've just gotten attached to the characters. I'm looking forward to reading the next one. I'm number two in the queue at the library, so I should get it soon. I also finished The Giver by Lois Lowry this week. I can't decide what I thought about this book. I really liked it early on, but then I felt like the end just left me hanging. It should be an interesting one to discuss at book club though for sure.

I am hoping... that Addie takes a good nap today. Sadly, she didn't sleep in the car at all on our way back from the beach last night, so she was up really late.

I am hearing... 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga.

Around the house... sandy towels and swimsuits needing to be washed.

One of my favorite things... the first smell of the salty ocean air when you arrive at the beach and step out of the car. Ahhhhh.....

A few plans for the rest of the week.... the girls are in half-day daycamp this week, so I will mostly be working in the mornings and hanging out at the pool in the afternoons. It should be a nice, relaxing week.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... two of our cute fox kits in the backyard (sorry for the blur... I was trying to capture the picture quickly before scaring them off, and I didn't have the shutter speed set fast enough.)
