This weeks idea was picture postcard. What says english spring better than green green trees. Why are they so green? so much rain perhaps? I took this on a wet and rainy walk in the park. Sort of right up the street of english springtime.

This week at dearbeautifulboy its all about “FUN!” So raising kids is not always fun but there is for sure a huge chunk of it and so it made choosing an image a bit of a challenge. Then i had an idea about this particulat challenge and that is to look through and use images that i wouldn’t normally stop on and use.
So with that in mind, i came across this. I took this of one of our little ones at the end of a day at the beach. It was incredibly in April last year when we had a heat wave and a group of us headed to a wirral beach for the day. It really was summer temperatures and we built sandcastles, had a bbq lunch, canoed, walked in the sand and searched for little sea creatures in the rockpools. A really lovely sunny, sandy, windy day.
Finished off with a cone of chips from the chippy. Pretty perfect really.
so its been quite a while since i have done one of these..that April A2Z challenge sort of got in the way a bit…
anyways this week:
Dear old man,
I see you nearly every time i take my daughter to nursery pushing your bike with a large christmas type tree tied to your bike. Like nearly every day. I am wondering if in fact you are real or some figment of my sleep starved brain. Because i cannot imagine WHY anyone would be wanting to push a bike with tree attached up a hill more than once..let alone every day. What in the heck are you doing?
curiously, Sx

frustratingly, Sx

Dear Olympic organisers,
Maybe it has escaped your attention but the olympics is supposed to be about sporting achievement, representing you country and enjoying the culmination of years of sacrifice and discipline to achieve a goal….not fleecing the public.
disappinted, Sx

Dear house,
If you could see to it somehow that you stretch an extra 2 foot all round that would be really helpful. Thanks.
its all getting a bit squashed, Sx

Dear Springtime,
Okay so if we don’t ask “where in the HECK have you been?” can you hang around a bit please now that you are here and tell your sister “Summer’ to get her best frock on.
love ‘n all, Sx

this week the theme is mornings…i really love mornings. I am a morning person. I am also a late night person..which sometimes results in a bit of a ‘lack of sleep’ thing going on.
anyways..my mornings..5 days a week, main focus is the school run. OH leaves early for his own school and then im left to get 5 kids (and now a dog) ready for the 15 minute walk to school…..
and there are some days when i am so so grateful for my oldest daughter and her incredibly helpful attitude. Sometimes i dont even ask this kid to help. she just. does. it.
Every day i ask the older ones to help get the little ones shoes on…..which sometimes is a bit of a harder job especially when small sibling is being a bit of a monkey and won’t actually let them put their shoes on.
When that happens, things tend to go south fairly quick…….
but this is an everyday happening in our house. Every morning.
