I blew it all off today. No house cleaning (ha, like that really happens regularly!). I sewed for an hour before the kids got up, but payed no attention to getting home by Sophie's normal naptime. I'm fried today. I have quilted the past 2 days with a malfunctioning thread break sensor. It beeps continuously, and is just about enough to drive me mad. A techie is coming some day next week to investigate the issue. In the process of bringing my LA to have the tensioner discs reinstalled on Wednesday, something was moved out of whack (or busted) in the disgnosing we were doing on the machine the day before. They checked the machine out w/o the computer on Wednesday so they didn't hear the continuous beep. I have done 2 quilts with it beeping and it's enough to make me crazy! So, today is all about playing.
By the time we were leaving, the beach was packed. It's your usual Maine beach: loads of kids and lots of white (not racially white, but pale, pastey, paper white skinned) folk. Much of the time, Sophie sat and played in and near a small tidal pool (4'x2' puddle!). Before we left she needed to go to the bathroom and I was NOT taking her into the surf, and the bathroom facility was clearly too far away. So I told her to just quickly sit down in her puddle and do it. I was busy packing our stuff up. A minute or so later I glance over and she's stripped off her swimsuit bottoms, has her top hiked to her armpits, and is examining what she's peeing into the puddle as it fountain sprays out of her. Oh good Lord, raising kids will kill me! They really do not have any discretion or inhibitions, do they?! I pity the next folk to sit near our puddle...
And I'll leave you with my favorite shot of the day. Sometimes the best picture is taken from behind .
Coming soon...

Gotta love them all! :)
Okay, now that post was very funny. Kids are always too cute and manage to get into and out of everything....My God-daughter once, when her mom asked if she needed to go to the bathroom, pulled her little skirt up and panties down and said, "No mom, see everything's fine." Mind you, this was right in the middle of McDonald's noon time....OMG.....
Take care and have a great weekend.
