Flip Flop Mentality

Living by the sea, we have a pretty laid back household.  Beach toys, bikes and boogie boards are packed into our mudroom.   The red wagon is parked in the back yard ready to take the kids up to the beach.  There are always a vast collection of sea shells and beach rocks on most surfaces.

Some of Our Beach House Rules:

1. Flip Flops are Mandatory
2. Wake Up Smiling
3. Say Please and Thank You (or in Conor’s case ‘Peas’ and ‘Ta’)
4. Hang Up Your Towel
5. No Wet Suits on Wooden Furniture
6. Be Grateful for this Day

Flip flops are mandatory in our house!  I had to share this picture of Conor’s brand new flip flops which winged their way last week from Oz!  Aren’t they the cutest Havaianas you’ve ever seen?  They  are tiny and have little alligators on the inside.  Adorable.  He loves running around the house in them!  Now we all have at least one pair flip flops.

Now that Summer is a distant memory and that we have to unpack all the winter clothes from the attic (Brrr).  It is time to put the flip flops way for the year (sigh).  Oh, well, at least we have apple picking, trick or treating and snowmen building to look forward to!
