Summer 2014

This summer has been longggggg to say the least.  Hubby didn't get time off work so we have busied ourselves on and near home turf. We made a few day trips to the beach, we have had a lot of cousin time, hours upon hours of swimming, weeks of watching Pop building the studio, crafting, painting, baking, making mess, making mess, making more mess….it's been long. 

My girl and I.

But despite all of this,  most days I heard "we're bored, what can we do?"

To which I'd say: "Don't ask me, just go outside and make your own fun"

Some days they struggled, other days they entertained themselves for hours.

This was cute, one evening Lulu and Bear called us out onto the deck to watch a "concert". We were given tickets, allocated seating and snacks (mint from the garden)

Imagine my shock when I found Bear and his animals in my dirty dish water after dinner one night. 

…and in his sister undies later that evening.

He taught himself to swim without a bubble over summer

Lulu and her cousins ground rocks and made a snowman

The big boy made elastic wristbands…..for everyone.

Bear rescued frogs from the filter box

These two were Pop's "apprentice" and "water girl" on most days. Henry managed to loose most of Pop's tools daily.

….and with one final week to come, I'm holding my breath. I will spend the next few days covering school books, ironing uniforms, sewing on labels and buying groceries for yet another school year.

I hope I am ready, I know I'm keen to get started!

Wishing you all a blessed, fun and successful school year.

Much Love
