Sandy feet

After the triumph of the dinosaur iceberg yesterday (and the tidying) a rest was in order today.  Most of the day was spent lounging about in the living room, making good use of the air conditioning while the munchkins undid the tidying.

Mr S's no 2 has been staying with us this summer and monster munch wanted to make her a present (everything has to be a present or a surprise, or even better both, at the moment) as she goes tomorrow.  Now I'm not terribly imaginative so have continued the canvas/footprint theme for no 2's present.  It was meant to be foot prints in the sand but looks more like muddy splodges on a dirty floor!  Luckily she loves it and is taking it home (or at least that's what she says!!)

I was also brave today and took the munchkins to the beach on my own - at tea time no less.  Some of the lovely ladies and their offspring were meeting for some late afternoon sun and snacks at the local beach and it was really lovely.  Both of the munchkins were very good, mini munch devoured a chocolate croissant and managed to cover himself and my hair in gooeyness and the monster munch displayed his excellent sense of comedy timing yet again.

Picture the scene, setting sun, children frolicking in the sand and shallows, mummies chatting; then sploosh the monster munch strikes with a bucket of water and another; I then became a soggy sandy mess, much to monster munch's delight.  What did I do?  Retaliated in a mature and sensible mummy type way of course and threw him in the sea!

He is plotting his revenge already....
