December 26 - but really….

Well i have to be honest, this was a tame day by anyone’s standards. Ryan and I got up early and made a big batch of Grandma Jean’s spaghetti because “it will last for days”. Nope, we are currently scraping the bottom of the pot. But we had great intentions, it just didn’t match the appetites of the kids. I did mention we had a crazy rainstorm through the night, Darian had to go and check her shower because she thought someone was using it. Spoiler alert: this was the first of 375 trips that Darian was taking to the bathroom. She was suffering from a Class A hangover. In her own words, “I went pro too soon and I had a career ending injury” but I have faith in her resilience. She is nothing if not persistent. Well. Not today. But I have faith. 

Also, Dekker and Mike went snorkelling and current score is Caribbean 2: Dekker and Mike 0. They both got raked over the rocks pretty substantially. Dekker has coral embedded under his finger nails. We are eating jalapeños and he is feeling his injury at the moment. Mike did get some good pictures and, God love him, everything makes that kid happy. 

I also learned the importance of reading slowly and understanding what you are signing up for. I ordered groceries online. We are going through a lot of limes so I ordered another 22. Except I did not order 22 limes. I ordered 22 kgs of limes. I shit you not. I will attach a photo of our overabundance of limes. If you hear on the international news that there is a shortage of limes in Mexico, please know we are directly responsible. Sorry Mexico. We will be serving margaritas for the foreseeable future. 

So tonight will be an early night, we have a big day tomorrow so stay tuned for that one. Darian is going to stay out of the bathroom for at least 12 minutes and we will all be consuming 15 limes an hour. Please forward all lime drink recipes to us at your earliest convenience. I have also, temporarily, retired from cards. Michael, my favourite has taken me out 3 times . I had a twinge and ALMOST stopped loving him. So I thought the best thing would be is to leave the table, and re-evaluate. I am also attaching a picture of how bad Mike felt taking me out. I really do believe it was genuine.
