with the kids on 2 weeks school holidays .. we desided to go down to the beach and collect sea shells and come home and do some crafts with them .so we got there and the kids ran straight down to the water … which was high in … the tide was in and seaweed all over the place hmmmm 
the sun was out but it was still cold … well its winter after all .. to cold to swim … but we walked over the seaweed and began our search .. walking slowing up the beach after 15 mintues my 3 year old is bored with collecting what she sees as rubbish from the sand .. while sister 7 years old is in her glory excited at every shell she see’s … 3 year old kindy tells me she wonts to go home … after 15 mintes and we have only walked about 30 metres …wtf … NO i kindly tell her as she sits there sulking refusing to move ahead with us .
instead she sat on the sand as we walked 5 metres .. ofcourse she came running back over again reminding me of her dis pleasure at being at the beach today …..her constant moaning continues on … kids know how to use there pester power dont they … we walked about 50 metres and 30 minutes were up …. she wasnt happy at all .. and my trying to ignore her for the fun of her big sis who was having a ball packing my bag full of shells corals and a star fish hand thingy ..
as you can see she was really not happy lol lol but after 30 minutes of her groaning on we had both had enough … we collected enough shells and nick knacks so she won and we went home
but we did collect a few things and the rest of the day was fun at home playing and exploring the shells together …
