Playing in the Rice Paddies

I love to walk to the end of our street and watch the ducks play in the rice paddies. I'm fairly certain the farmers don't find them quite so charming.

When your pants slide off and other such happenings

Spent the a.m. running errands. 

Spent the afternoon at the beach with the kids.

Grilled salmon, asparagus, balsamic potatoes, rolls, oven french fries, green salad, spinach & strawberry salad, fruit salad....dinner.

Now to pack....found the camera....

This trench keeps growing - now reaches the ocean. I suspect they'll bulldoze it again and even it all out eventually....but for now the kids love playing in it.

Stacia has become my sea glass collector. We discovered these rocky spots are BEST for finding sea glass, we simply sit down and look around us.....

This is not a staged shot....four nice pieces laying out....Stacia loves finding them.

Stacia and I  have a "pocketful" rule...because she likes to collect rocks and all sorts of pretty shells too, "for mother's day." I tell her the sea glass goes in the bucket (or bag) and she can take as many shells as will fit in her pockets....Look at those pockets... Which led to her astute observation today......

"When your pants slide off, your pockets are full!"

Our additions today....plenty of room left in the bucket. LOL

Glad to have one who sits and collects with me....we even laid back and caught some rays today. But not Zander.....

Look at the lettuce - had garden fresh romaine today....and broccoli too.

Kids were SHOCKED I bought these for them.....American Obentos. ::snort:: I'm going to buy some bento boxes and make our own with organic treats in the future. The kids kept saying, "Thank you, Mom, I never thought you'd EVER buy us these!" ::snort::
