We did plenty to keep our spinning minds busy this weekend. I am still waiting to hear about a teaching position, the settlement from the title company and of course, a sale on our current home. So as listed above, we did just that. On Sunday we went to Fort Fisher State Beach. It was warm and the water wasn't too bad, but the wind made it a little too chilly for my liking once wet. Of course, that wasn't going to deter the children! It's nuts to watch three children, who can't swim in the ocean. Even when you're standing over the top of them, the surf can be so unpredictable... and that's exactly what happened. Chad had camped out a few feet off the surf and was monitoring two children in the sand, while I watched one in the water at a time. We rotated through so everyone was happy. It was Caed's turn and he had gotten quite confident in his ability to jump in the surf without holding my hand...then BAM...his feet went flying out from under him, a wave came and rolled him over and a look of terror swept across his face. I quickly grabbed his arm and stood him up. His hair was disheveled and small goosebumps began to form from the wind whipping across his tiny body. He didn't say anything, and I tried not to make a big deal out of it. "Love you Caed," I whispered and steered him back to his Daddy. As he got closer, he ran to Chad and said, "Daddy, I died in the ocean!" How does a two year old even know. Later, when I asked him what he told his Daddy, he replied, "I told him I died in the ocean, but Mommy saved me!" That's the way I like it, him remembering that I saved him.
Caed went on to have a great day playing, but he held my hand a lot, and stayed very close. We enjoyed all of our other escapades, and are happy to report that the Radon Remediation trailer has been moved. As for the bio-hazard sign, not yet, but she did run over the realty sign on the corner of her lot! Ya win some and ya loose some.... HA
