Shaz by the Sea

Wingaersheek Beach - haven’t been here in ages and I have no idea why. It was absolutely beautiful - even when it was overcast and a bit chilly.  The boys LOVED the soft sand, clean/calm ocean and tons of space to play “boomerang”. We had an amazing day, and after last week let me tell you - it was INCREDIBLE and much needed. The boys were so fun.  Phelan boyz 

How was everyone’s President’s Day weekend?! We went to Cape Cod on Friday – and headed straight to our “Little House”. The boys love it there, and they love visiting Jim’s parents. We arrived about noon time and they immediately started playing with their toys and on their bunk beds in their room. We brought their amazon fires aka “ipads” and just relaxed. We also played outside and made a few stops at Craigville Beach. Such a great weekend! We waited for Jim to arrive about 6PM. He took the Plymouth Brockton bus from Boston.

For some reason, I found it double hard and stressful when you are around family. All you want is for your kids to be happy and healthy around other people (especially ones they don't see very often). You want their real personalities to shine and you want them to have fun and be fun, right? Well, this unfortunately didn't happen for us this Thanksgiving since they were feeling so poorly. I felt bad for them - and the best thing was for them to rest. Caden was sick overnight and throughout the next few days (after just coming off of another cold and pretty bad cough). And Conor ended up getting an ear infection and now has a horrible cough. He's on amoxicillin. Hopefully his cough settles down soon. It...
