Not Me Monday! Again!

This blog is intended to be more than a collection of posts about what I have not been doing, but since MckMama's Not Me! Monday blog carnivals tend to involve two important motivators (namely, a deadline and a prize), they seem to be the only ones I've gotten done lately.

OH WELL. At least this post should give you an inkling (more to come, I promise!) of what we have and have not been doing instead of blogging!

First off, DKG and I did not take our 19-month-old Kumquat on her gazillionth trip and add state #13 - CALIFORNIA - to her list of states she's visited (or #18 if you also count places we visited while I was preggo).

On this trip, I did not sacrifice my favorite pair of comfy shoes when we took our Kumquat to the beach just after our arrival in CA. We certainly did not head straight for the beach completely unprepared in spite of the fact that we had perfectly appropriate beach clothing & footwear in our luggage. We were not so excited about taking Little K to see the ocean for the first time that we didn't really care all that much about the shoes we'd miss later.

I did not completely fall in love with these two all over again.

We also did NOT take our crazy monkey toddler to a professional golf event, where everyone knows the audience should be quiet & respectful. And certainly not a major championship, where the stakes are high. Nope, not me!

And I did not have my heart warmed to watch these dads have the greatest Father's Day weekend! (And birthday week for DKG!)

And I did not very seriously consider never returning to the land of Kumquat Stands and instead move on to Colorful Artichoke fields. I mean, come on... Look at this place! Who'd want to live here forever? Certainly not me!

I did not have an awesome Mama KG-Little Kumquat date day while everyone else was at the golf tournament...

and no Kumquat Divas were sighted on this day, either.

And, finally, we did absolutely nothing whatsoever to encourage any diva-ish-ness by taking our 19-month-old (did I mention that already??) to Las Vegas for the third time in her life. I mean, really? Who takes a baby to Vegas?! Certainly not us!

I also did not begin to wonder if maybe she's been there a few times too many... ;)

So, that's a bit of what we have not been up to lately! I promise another post with more information on what we actually DID will be coming soon!
