Not a lot of writing happening while I'm lounging on the Cape but I am taking lots of pictures.
This picture of my parents captures their life here quite well.
That is until we arrived and they rarely get to sit because Elias has decided that Nana and Papa are the chosen ones.
"Wheres Nana?"
"Where's Papa?" he asks and then follows them around the house or the yard or the beach like a late afternoon shadow.
Not that I'm complaining.
And little Olive has become quite the beach girl, growing plumper--and happier and more active--by the day:
So all and all life is good.
Beyond good.
Ok, back I go:
I don't know how much longer you are at the cape but I have a fun thing for Elias to do. All you need to get is a box plaster of paris from the hardware store and a cheap bucket. Have Elias collect with his wonderful grandparents shells, tiny driftwood pieces, etc from walks on the beach. Have him make a form in the sand, like a fish lined with the shells and stuff he has collected and mix the plaster of paris with some salt water in the bucket and the put it on the mold and within 5 mins. he has something that he can take home with him to remind him of this vacation. It doesn't smell either and kids love doing it.

I'm sorry, but is your child wearing LEG WARMERS? What the hell??
Posted by: Brooke | 06/04/2010 at 08:38 AM
Yes, Brooke she is:) They are great in AK when I carry her in the Ergo or backpack and her pants ride up to keep her ankles and shins warm and here I decided they work to keep her legs from getting sunburned. Luckily it hasn't been too hot where I question my sanity putting leg warmers on her.
Noel, I love the idea. Thank you. Though Elias is more into throwing whatever he finds than collecting it:)
