Our mornings are always far too regimented for my liking. Getting dressed, eating breakfast, cleaning up after breakfast, washing clothes, folding clothes, hoovering floors, preparing snacks. All rather monotonous. But when the sun shines and the temperature is just about perfect... well, nothing seems quite as laborious. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their first dip of the season. Personally, still a little too nippy for me, but I paddled... and enjoyed getting splashed. A nasty chunk out of one precious knee did threaten to bring the Summery dream undone. But after a bit of coaxing and sympathy and a loving lecture on keeping clear of the rocks, we were right as rain and back on track, to make the most of this early taste of Summer.
I used to live over that way, how wonderful that you are able to raise your boys in that environment. Good on you for taking your boys out on such a beautiful day - I truly believe that it is moments like these that build a happy childhood. By the way, I took my kids down to Wollongong a week ago to meet half way with their grandparents at the beach, and we got our mandatory injury too. My four year old had a huge egg and graze on her head after falling head first into the wooden slats leading down to the beach.
ReplyDeleteOh still looks a little chilly Julie! Beautiful day though.x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of your little guys...we are currently on holidays and mine are in the pool even though it is way to cold in my eyes to contemplate swimming.....who am I to stop them x
ReplyDeleteSometimes shaking things up is just what is needed, look at how eager your two were to hit the water..definitely a great decision Julie.
ReplyDeleteHoovering...now that's a word I haven't heard in years :)

ReplyDeleteOh that poor little knee ;)
It's way to cold for me but I'm enjoying this gorgeous weather, long walks on the beach & my first ice-cream for the season! The boys look like they had a ball despite the scrape!
