A day at the beach, a ladybug and a fireman

Saturday was an amazingly relaxing day, so I thought I’d share a few pictures.
We’ve been having some pretty crazy weather lately, some days it’s spring, then it snows for two days, then it rains and the snow melts and it’s spring again, then it snows and, well, you get the picture. So after a relatively trying week, what with all the vomit, and the girl starting daycare (more on that soon), everybody was on edge and a day at the beach was just what the doctor ordered. Plus, our schizo weather decided it was spring again, so we jumped on the bandwagon! Or on the minivan so to speak. We spent the day in Varigotti, a tiny beach town in Liguria. There’s an awful lot of pictures of my children, but really, what did you expect?!
Oh, and as usual with the picture posts, click to continue reading!

the great thing about pebbly sand is you don't get as dirty, but unfortunately no sandcastles

Oh, and it's Carnival and we dress up our kids here, so here are the ladybug and fireman I promised:

In case anyone notices, the fireman is indeed wearing a Zorro belt, because he was supposed to be Zorro, but then decided at the last minute he wanted to be a fireman. That's why his costume is half-assed. So I'm not a bad mother.
Just saying.
