But I have to say: the pictures of the kids at the beach are way too precious.

Loved your "About" page and loved this first post that I read! <br /><br />I have 3 kiddos too (8, 4 1/2, 1 1/2) and - although we don't live close to the beach - I feel your pain as it relates to a swimming pool! My favorite part of your post... Non-stop counting of kids to be sure you have them all. LOL! At the pool this "keeping track concept," is even worse! Because one of our kids is in the baby pool, one is in the shallow end, and the other is going off the diving board in the deep end! Keeping track of them all is CRAZY!<br /><br />Loved reading this.

When it became evident that our two little ones had had enough we announced that we should be getting ready to go- she decided to go on one last walk to collect shells and then returned over an hour later! An hour with two young cranky children at the beach is an eternity.<br />She then insisted on eating at a very not kid friendly restaurant and then insisted we stop at a drugstore on the way home to get some aloe for her sunburn! <br />Your post brought back those horrible memories of that awful day!! :)<br />Luckily my husband's friend is now happily engaged to a much more considerate girl.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224711908880146896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-3370110644212393262011-05-31T22:12:05.672-04:002011-05-31T22:12:05.672-04:00I just love the beach and we've been going sin...I just love the beach and we've been going since we've been married.
