Have a Relaxing Friday Night

Happy Friday evening!!

Sweet readers, what are you up to this weekend? We’re still at the beach and had the most beautiful, relaxing day playing, lounging, and relaxing in the sand. The kids splashed and swam in the water with new friends (they have never met a stranger), and towards the end of the evening, PJ joined them.

I have no problem staying in a chair with a book in my hand the entire day, but he can’t sit still, and every day before long, he’s in the water with the kids. He made his famous drip sand castle that his mammaw taught him how to make when he was little.

Watching him make these has fascinated me for over a decade. He gets so much enjoyment out of doing it, I feel it’s almost therapeutic for him. Hands in the sand and water, building and making something out of nothing.

Tonight’s was a smaller one, but stunning nonetheless. The kids loved looking at it, and they had even more fun knocking it all down before we left.

We still don’t have appliances in the kitchen here at the Beach Shack, so we’re living off ramen noodles and Spaghetti-O’s for the time being. It’s not ideal, but it’s good for now. The kitchen appliances we can do without, but we’re very much in the market for a washer and dryer and a TV. We looked at all of them yesterday and haven’t made a decision just yet on what we’re going to go with, though I hope we make it fast because we’re quickly running out of clothes.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend, friends!! xoxo
