    A Case of the Monday Blahs. Wait, it's Tuesday...

    I'm feeling very uninspired. Blah! What do I have to share with you guys? Hmmm... You'd think I wouldn't shut up since I'm home alone most of the day with two babies under three, but not today. Today feels like a Monday, like I've got leftover Brain Mush from all the crazy partying I was up to last weekend.

    Ok, you got me. I joke. We did go to Canet, though, this past weekend. Canet is off da hook! It's a small beach town outside of Valencia near Sagunto where my in-laws own a cute little apartment. (Yes, you heard me right. My In Laws. What about it? You don't think they know how to party? Ohhhh, we par-tay.) Anyway, lately we have been making quite the tradition of spending Sundays at the apartment.  We usually go, have lunch (Paella or Arroz al Horno. mmm!) play in the pool, and then go on a walk. This time Bella and Julietta both got in the pool. They are hardcore water babies. I think they'd spend most of the day in the water if they never got cold.

    These aren't the best shots. It was still pretty sunny.
    I'm telling you, she goes stiff every time her sister tries to hug her. Smart kid.

    Later we took a walk to the nearby garden/park so Bella could play some more (i.e. so I could take pictures). I swear, it must be so annoying to have to be around me all the time. I drag everyone out at sunset, and spend the next hour and a half in my own little world, trying to get as many good shots as I can before there's no more light. It's actually a bit of a work out (and thank god for that, because I'm not the gym type).

    At my defense though, I don't have a car, and we live outside of the city, so trying to get anywhere at sunset and then back home using public transportation before dinner is... well, it's idiotic is what it is, and plain out stressful. I have to make the most of Alex's day off if I ever want to get that dreamy light.

    At this point, I monopolized Julietta because Bella just doesn't stop moving.

    But I don't think she was very happy about it...

    I get a lot of pictures of Bella from the back.
    And that's that. It was a nice, chill, Sunday afternoon. We spent time together, the kids played, Alex relaxed, I got to take pictures, and we partied it up (ok, you know that didn't happen, but I still like to imagine). Happy times.
    In order to get this shot, I had to act like a turkey on crack, making silly gobble noises and flapping my arms.
