Completely disoriented

Between the power outage, Halloween in November, Jim staying home from work two days last week (not consecutive) because of a nasty cold, Kate waking up every two hours at night, daylight savings time and the nearly 70-degree weather today, I have no idea what day or time or planet this is.

Here's Molly playing outside barefoot this afternoon near some unmelted snow. This is all very confusing.


I am pretty sure my mom was here visiting this weekend. There are at least some photos that suggest that was true.
We hadn't done any touristy stuff with her in a while because of the baby and whatnot but we decided to go a little wild yesterday and head to Gloucester and Rockport. The best part was when both girls fell asleep in the car on the ride there, making up a tiny bit for their lack of sleep due to moving the clocks back.

We ended up doing a tour of beaches (not all planned, but when you have to pull over to stop the baby from crying you might as well do it in a beach parking lot and get out and walk around a little). We ended up with quite a variety.

Rocky shore in Gloucester


Sand dunes in Gloucester (those two tiny marks in the middle are my mom and Molly)

We got out at the sandy beach eventually, too.

Smooth rocks and sand in Rockport.

Molly made a bunny in the sand here, then lost it. We had to look around a bit to figure out what she was talking about.

Gazebo in Rockport

Molly choreographing a gazebo dance, Grandma following orders to participate. ;)
A friendly local chatted us up at the gazebo and told us that the Sandra Bullock movie "The Proposal" was filmed in Rockport (with CGI mountains to make it look like Alaska). So we rented it after the kids were in bed. Yup, that's Rockport.

I'm sure other things have happened but I don't know what they are. Seriously. What day is this again?
