all the beaches
About the only thing I can do with the kids that isn’t ridiculously stressful is go to a playdate at someone’s house, or go to the beach.
I go to the beach a lot. A ridiculous amount really but there is something about the beach that always grounds me. It always clears my mind and refreshes my outlook. I can sit at the beach, literally, all day. If I could figure out a way to bring Claire’s bed with me so she could nap I’d be that person.
And I am that person who is tripping over two screaming, tired and hungry kids at the end of the day because I pushed it too far and now I must pay. Why must we always pay? Why? Does God hate us? I walked over and then away from Claire today who was in a heap at my feet screaming for me to carry her. I couldn’t carry her (I was carrying beach crap! And Anna!). I’m sure that got some stares.
Speaking of stares, I also find it annoying that all the tourists are here. Apparently I don’t like to share the beach unless you’re a friend of mine because that way there are less people around to judge me when my two-year is losing her mind. The rest of you people should go home.
Thankfully so far I’ve remembered to bring Anna home with me. It’s incredible how often I forget she’s here. The sweet little babe of mine needs to start making some noise!

This is really just random filler until I write a real post. But there were words, and pictures so you just stop complaining. And judging. And staring.

She does make some noise!!! Just put her in her carseat
Love those beaches. And there are so many more to choose from. Keep you busy for a month or more, just locating them all. The dog went swimming at Top Bridge last night, that is a good spot too!!
I’m judging you for letting the rottens run around Rathtrevor without any shoes on. I’ve cut my feet on that beach! Put some beach shoes on those kids!

Your babies are the most adorable babies!
I like this post! Great pictures. And people shouldn’t judge. They should come carry your beach crap for you. GEEZ.
PS – I tried to make yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday less wordy, in honour of you. Next Wednesday I’m going to try for ACTUALLY BEING WORDLESS. Wish me luck!
PS2 – your kids are gorgeous, and you look fantastic in that last picture!

Careful what you wish for!
My sister once put our friend’s two year old in the car seat while the kid was having a huge fit. Then she stood outside the car and had a furious cigarette. She said she got a lot of horrified looks from passers-by.
Your hair looks glorious in that picture, by the way.

Love that Long Beach photo!
I soooo remember those days when I’d just explode out of the house with my kids before I went berserk. Thank heavens for parks and beaches and friends when you have little kids!
