On the thirteenth day

 I am not even sure I took any pictures on Monday. I do have a few days where I want to slot in some different things. Like our Santa Photo. We  had it taken in November, on the beach. So I need to find a home for it.
This day was an overwhelming one for me. The house had jobs that needed doing everywhere and I felt quite behind, so I took the kids and we met up with my best friend, usual for a Monday and went to the beach.
It was the most glorious summer day one of the first good ones we have had. The kids swam, played in the sand, swam again, built sand castles and tunnels. We had lunch on the grass hot chip sandwiches.
Noah went to Rosie's for the afternoon and shortly after their arrival Tracey sent me a message saying out water babies are in the water again, in a blow up pool in the back yard.

My little one, who said she didn't need a nap, of course I agreed, fell asleep in the car on the way home, she is beyond exhausted at the moment, so much on, late  nights, no naps. I used the time to get caught up on  a lot of those jobs I was over whelmed by earlier although there is still many more to do I felt much better.
We collected Noah the kids ate dinner there, we drove past lights on the way home, Noah fell asleep, of course the one who had a nap did not. She was up till quite late, playing and talking to herself in her room. I ironed quite late into the night. Hence only one blog post not two ..... I couldn't type clearly.
As I look back over this and the photos I will work out what bits I want to highlight. I am loving that on some day's Ali's page is short and concise and captures just one brief little moment. Usually a very adorable one. I am aiming for the same.
