is there anything better than beginning the day like this?
the morning started crazy with the kids grumpy and sour. it got to be a (bad) habit to start the day with television in denmark. you know, vacation. usually there's no such thing as morning tv here. not so much because of principles as plain practicality. it just doesn't work. it always ends up in fights about what to see and how much to see and not being able to finish what was started. no good way to start a day. so morning tv is only happening once a week. if the kids remember, that is.
so, the kids went on a cold turkey as we got back home. no television - at least not until the heat gets so bad in the afternoon that we need to chill and relax inside the house. and now, after a week we still have mornings where they get pretty grumpy about that. in the whining and unbearable way. like this morning.
D escaped for work, and my mom - who came back with me and the kids - and i just looked at each other, packed the breakfast down in bags and headed for the beach. that, i tell you, is the best way to start the day.
oh, it's good to be back.
Yes, a beach breakfast is a wonderful way to start a day!
ReplyDeletehello!!! i´ve missed you:)
ReplyDeletebig hugs!
I need a beach :) I am going thru the same television phase with my boy. We are visiting my mum in Spain and it is the first thing he wants to to when waking up... I am looking forward to coming home cause we don’t have a tv! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. I'm sick of the morning tv and can't wait for the routine and schedules of school days again. I would soooo love to head for the beach with breakfast packed and ready to go. Perfect way to begin the day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - this is the best way to start the day! Oh, television is a scourge, I really believe all morning and afternoon television should be banned. I remember how I battled with our kids to get The Virus switched off. We were very stern about it, but you have to have a thick skin to cope with the sulks!
ReplyDeleteYes, what a perfect way to start a day...
ReplyDeleteIt can't get better than this! Your children look so content. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteLook at those colors! Our humble mediterranean is quite spellbinding - and the perfect venue for breakfast:)!
