More Ocean

About a month ago, we started noticing that Carina was getting up earlier and earlier in the mornings.  By last week, it was really getting annoying with multiple 6 AM days in a row.  After attempting to take her back to bed one morning at 6:15 AM, I realized that it was getting quite light in her room at that time.  Unwilling to wait for a blackout shade to be ordered and arrive, I decided to try the quick and dirty option of nailing a bedsheet over the window.  She has been sleeping to her more normal wake-up time of 7:30 or so ever since.  I forgot to close her closet door last night, though, and found out that is enough light to produce a 6:45 AM wake-up call.  Which I couldn’t use “I’m pregnant with twins” to get out of because Gavin left at like 6:00 AM.  :P

 

We went out to dinner in Galveston last night for Jason’s birthday.  Everyone else was going mini-golfing afterward, but we decided Carina needed to get home reasonably early.  So instead of going putt-putting, we stopped at the beach for about 20 minutes.  I think we’re going to have to go back to the beach soon, with swimsuits this time, because Carina really loved it.  Unfortunately, last night that meant we had to endure 15 minutes of “More ocean!  More ocean!” once we went back to the car.
