Quiet moment…

Image
It’s just after 4 p.m. and well the house is actually tidied up.  The norm is to begin at 4 p.m. and it takes over an hour to get her done!  But the kids so nicely cooperated today and now are currently making outdoor messes.  Those are much easier to tidy and don’t end up usually in protest/tears . So this gives me a few moments before pulling in the laundry off the line, and starting dinner to sit down and enjoy some quiet! What do you think they were eating? A few photo’s of the goofs. This was our accomplishment on the weekend!!!!  It has been five years since I’ve reached the  peak of this Mt. Cheam.  It felt so great getting up to the top again.  This time I wasn’t even that sore the next day.  Helps when you have been working out most of the summer. D climbed to the top the previous week with his dad and 2 brothers.  They probably made it up in better time?  There was also 2 lovely ladies hiking…..they were 80 and 82....

Ok, this was just for fun…….. So fun………so busy! So precious………..so huggable His new trick is booking it to the stairs……..because Mom will come a running!  Then he giggles away. Also the quilt he is sitting on was given to him from Auntie Sue.  She custom made this for him to match the bedroom he sleeps in. I finally took some pictures of it along with him.  He sleeps so nicely under it each night!!!

Camping as promised

This trip feels like forever ago……..really it wasn’t that long ago. Hitting the road in luxury!  See the thumbs up. Singing camp songs and snoozing on the drive. Exploring and spying on his sisters Sleeping in interesting corners. (oh I shouldn’t say sleeping, as he didn’t fair that well ) Fire. Food. Friends. Fun. VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL ...

Whiterock……..is that really the only white rock?

  So I went to the lovely place of Whiterock with some relatives from the Netherlands.  What an amazing day it was! Thankfully there was some beach still to play and explore in as a few weeks earlier D promised the girls that next time they came there would be a beach.  It didn’t last long, but long enough to collect a whole bucket of shells each!  Don’t worry all those shells didn’t return home………just 2. Worrying about getting her dress wet……..it only last for a short while as soon it was drenched from the Pacific. First dip in the ocean…………..and he was in love with it! Thanks for the wonderful day!
