During our kitchen DIY (husband - not me) remodel, Scott and I have spent the last 3 weeks living at my parents rental house on and off. And no complaints here. While we missed Daddy immensely, we enjoyed living at the beach and getting spoiled by Mimi and Papa!
With the beach only four houses from theirs, we went down almost every day (let's see there was a day that rained, and I think one other day that was just too cold, other than that we were there!). Scott learned to say beach and would ask to go basically as soon as he woke up in the morning!

And of course Mimi was always willing to take him in the freezing cold water (it actually wasn't too bad once you'd been in for a few minutes)
Scott and mommy splashing around - the bump pictures are clearly not happening but here is somewhat of a profile shot of baby 2 at 16 weeks.
After the beach each day we got to partake in the amazing outdoor shower - Scott thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. And he learned quickly how to wash his feet by copying Mimi!
A long afternoon at the beach deserves a frozen treat don't you think? We had a stash of popsicles on hand for a post beach snack....
There was an elementary school across the street from the house so every morning Scott looked forward to seeing the school buses and watching the "deets" (kids) run around outside. He also really like trash day because the trash truck would pick up the big dumpsters from the school.
Some days Parker J. would come up to play. The boys tried really really hard to move this coffee table. Never happened because it was basically solid cement.
Making our very own lunch!
One of the nights we were home Brian and I set up Scott's new slide structure and let him explore it. Aside: I found this at Baby Green Resale - an awesome consignment sale that happens every other month in Simi - must check it out - fabulous deals!
On the corner of my parent's street is the ultimate treat: Frozen Yogurt! This place was awesome, they had 8-10 flavors of self serve yogurt that changed every few days, plus a toppings bar - dangerous. The best part was that they always had dairy free option...perfect for Scott!!!
When the yogurt was mostly gone he was determined to pick out all the sprinkles. Hey moms of toddlers: need hours of entertainment? Left over sprinkles in a cup that's kind of sticky - done and done!
Resulting in rainbow sprinkled piggies!!!!
After our dessert this particular night we went back to the beach for the sunset. It was magical!

Apparently I need to learn camera settings for sunsets because all my pictures turned out really dark....the one below would have been awesome because you can even see mist from the waves...imagine this picture taken with the right settings....
