Summertime

We've finally returned, if only briefly, to summertime weather; thus, morning swim lessons are a lot more enjoyable. There is a lot to be said for filling the morning with activity. A busy morning yields a quiet afternoon and an easy bedtime. While the twins perfected floating and water tag, the little boys played in the sand. Joseph turned his own hat backwards, not me. I sat and chatted with the other swimming moms - I didn't take a picture as I am sure you believe me.
And here is the quiet afternoon with Rupert and Richard Scarry.
Joseph is behind this door sleeping - just thought you might want to know what he does in the afternoon.
And the little girl has a post set up in her room for beading. She even locks the door to prevent the unauthorised entry of male siblings. Benjamin stands outside with egg beaters and measuring spoons attempting to locksmith his way in. Everyone ends up with bracelets.
At work.

I think you have discovered a great secret there in the busy morning theory. Housework will get done at some point. Better to ensure the quiet afternoon and easier bedtime.
