Marc had Preisdent's Day off from school, so we packed up the kids and headed to Leo Carrillo Tide Pools. Jenn and her two kids (Davis and Kate) joined us. We had a lot of fun and saw TONS of starfish. It was a bit of a cold day, but a lot of fun. We were only disappointed, when we got back to our car and found someone had broken into our car! I am putting the post from my other blog, just for remembering sake.

I feel like I have been a step behind this whole week. My family came to town (yay!) and then our car got broken into (boo!), I am hosting a baby shower tonight (yay!), and I have been trying to get things organized around the house (boo!), but today just has to be the day that Jackson wants to drag everything out of his room to play with. I feel like it is the days I am the most busy or worried about keeping the house clean that Jackson decides to be his messiest. Like this morning when he decided to do a water experiment and plug up his bathroom sink with tissue while I was in the shower (ahhhh!). My little friend J.T. I blame you for this. I just know some how you taught him about water experiments. joking.

Anyway, can I restate the most horrible part of everything...our car getting broken into! Seriously and all for some stupid ipod. Luckily we didn't have anything of real value in our car, but what a horrible feeling. You come back to your car after a fun day only to find the passenger side window bashed in (glass EVERYWHERE!) and a riffled though car. Your personal things being touched by a stranger and a dirty and disgusting stranger at that. Who breaks into a car? Only really creepy yucky people! Are you kidding me?

Let me just share the stupidest thing about this guy, well he left a 10 dollar bill sitting on the car seat. Maybe that was our payment for him violating us, breaking our window, and stealing the ipod, but I actually think it was a $10 bill that slipped out of my pocket and I left in the car. What an idiot. Glad he didn't take it, but what an idiot.

And Jackson was really stressed by the situation, poor guy. But when he climbed into the car and got cut by a piece of glass (I really thought I had checked everywhere, but apparently not), a flood of tears came and it was hysterical crying. It took a good portion of the ride home for him to calm down, but eventually he did. And his conclusion was, If he could have been there he would have pow-ed the guy into the ocean, before he decided to pow our car. ha.

Anyway, the window has been replaced $200 dollars later (booooo!), but at least the car is functional again (yay!) and now I can run the errands I desperately need to run before tonight. Wish me luck.
