Beach parties ... keep 'em coming!

Today is Saturday June 7th, 2008 and we have had an unbelievable run of fantastic weather since the beginning of May. It is so hot in southern sweden that the Brits would not believe it! The children have been in the pool everyday and we are longing for the end of school term - just 4 days away.
As we live only 5 minutes from the beach, life is just that, and it's hard to find fault with life right now. Business is good, although we feel over-worked, over-stressed and downright exhausted, the upside really makes up for it. We will soon be figuring out a plan of action to keep business ticking over and the kids entertained during the summer all at the same time.
Most important event of the day was that I found my youngest sons "gromiti", which he had thrown during a game on the trampoline, across the garden into a corner of which is currently undergoing renovation - fence planks, dirt, stones and weeds cover the area, and the gromiti was a little brown and green figure. Great. 5 hours later of intermitent searching, and there is was - stuck under a foxglove plant.
Yes, once again I was the hero of the day (at least in the eyes of a 6-year old, and that, my friend, is life worth living.!)
