Pretending.

Three kids at school.   Baby boy at the grandparents.
Five hours.

Crazy.

We have been stealing off to the beach.
Just us, chairs, towels, burritos, and books.

Like two careless, carefree, twenty year olds.
With no kids, no jobs, no responsibilities, no electric bills, no broken washing machines.

Twenty year olds who have nothing better to do than spend five lazy hours watching waves, reading, dreaming.

Being fake twenty is so awesome.  Even if only for a few hours.

(P.S.  I just started reading The Book Thief.  By page two I was hooked.  By page ten I was weeping.  It is beautiful and painful.  I cannot wait to see where it goes.)

    That's a great book! I couldn't put it down :) P.s. The hubs and I also enjoy the day date... fully under-rated if you ask me :)

    You guys are so cute! I'm making sure I'm extra thankful for the sweet alone time that my husband and I have alone at this point of our lives!

    I read a TON and have had a hard time with The Book Thief. I've only gotten through half of it and can't seem to pick it up again. To me, it drags. Maybe one day I'll pick it up again because I keep hearing good things from so many people. Of course, I have a billion other books that are begging for my attention right now, too! Good luck with it!

    And yay for date days! They are the best!

      They are either from Forever 21 or Target... I don't remember.
      I think they are totally rainy day appropriate!

    the writing style of that book grew on me as I read it. and with each page turn I was more and more engrossed in the beautiful but challenging story.
