Summer so far

Phew, today has been roasty toasty! We spent the morning in the shade near a little stream at the botanical gardens with some friends. I didn't take my camera unfortunately but here are a few snaps of what we've been up to lately.

The Boy got a boogie board for his birthday. Or as he calls it, a surfboard :-)

Birdy footprints at the beach.

Sandcastle with a a tunnel. The tunnel bit is very important when you're 3!

Decorating the tree. Finally! We usually get a real tree but last year's potted version died a very sad death so we've borrowed my mum's one instead. Husband and I wanted to get a lovely wooden one we found but it didn't tick The Boy's box. Too minimalist for his tastes :-)

Graffiti in our old neighbourhood. The heart appeared first and then a few weeks later the little bird arrived.
