First up though Brandon had his sports coaching lesson. Today they played soccer.While it was good fun, I think the class moved a little slow for Brandon. He likes things to keep moving. I don't think any of the little boys were paying full attention so were all very easily distracted.
Once finished we ventured on over to the local library to use their computer and printer. Ours wasn't co-operating last night. It just knew we were very short on time. We printed off so many legal documents that needed signing by daddy and I. The 2 boys were so very patient, not a word I thought I would ever say about the 2 boys. We jumped back in the car and headed out to the beautiful island to get daddy's signature.
Extremely hot weather today so just the perfect day to be at the beach. We called in to see daddy on the job site which was wonderful. We just wanted to pick him up and throw him into the car and head over to the beach all together. Instead we said our goodbyes and drove to the water. It took me probably nearly 1/2hr to get kids in their swimmers and collect beach towels from the car. Why so long? A bush turkey has the answer to that. I was attempting to get Brandon dressed into his swimmers while reigning in Bailey at the same time. I looked up and there was a bush turkey about 1 metre from us. I thought by bringing it to the boys attention I might be able to get the two of them dressed quickly while they were fascinated and mesmerised. Did my plan work? No. Brandon tried running after it with clothes half on while Bailey just made a clean getaway. Little people can move very quickly, and always in opposite directions.
So eventually we got to the beach. It was just perfect. Beautiful clear, crisp water just inviting us to jump in. So we did. The 2 boys and I had a fantastic time. Words can't describe the immense joy in the boys faces and their little eyes. So good for the spirit. It's amazing that you need to be sitting in the ocean with half the beach in your swimmers to fully appreciate things. The 2 boys and I loved it. And it even reminded me to just breath. Making some resolutions to myself we went back up to the picnic area to have some lunch. I had learnt previously that kids, food and sand don't mix and I swore to myself never again. We had picnic blankets and coloured popcorn and snake lollies, fruit salad, sandwiches and popper juices. Just delicious.
Heading home we drove past daddy's job site to see daddy just leaving. Of course both boys wanted to ride home with daddy. Highly encouraged by mummy. I drove home in silence. I also ate all the rest of the fruit salad.
I beat the 2 boys and daddy home. The silence continued. I was having a ball. Washed off half the beach I bought home with me and got ready for my next outing. My client had rescheduled for this afternoon so I was heading off to a kindergarten meeting at an earlier time than originally anticipated.
The kindergarten sounds great. The teachers sound amazing and their curriculum sounds like fun. A great way to learn. I even met one of my friends there. Last I had talked to her one of her boys was heading to a different kindy. Great news that he wasn't. We couldn't have planned it any better. Brandon and her little boy will be there at the same days with the same teacher. Amazing.
Came home to the 2 boys in the bath while daddy was washing off the other half of the beach from them. Everyone tired but happy with lots of adventure stories to tell.
I ordered takeaway for daddy and I once the boys were asleep. Daddy and I made some huge decisions and then when we both realised we could breath again we knew we had made the right decisions for us. It's amazing how spending a day on an island can change your perspective. Island dreaming. One day I will own my own.
