We searched high and low at all our local Targets and K-marts for those awesome hooded beach towels for kids.
During his paternity leave, Mr Surfer actually found a couple. It took us months to realise that one was actually in the form of a mermaid.
So now, after every swim class, our twin boys are rugged up like this…
There is always a pretty mermaid in this family. Mr Surfer swears that these were the last two left in stock.
Yeah. Okay. Try explaining that to the twinlets at their 18th.
Happy Hump Day…and Leap Day ! Joining Trish at My Little Drummer Boys for Wordless Wednesday…

Lol ! Thanks, Kirri 🙂 Maybe I should get one for your little twinnie if I see them in stock ? 😉
Deb @ Bright & Precious says
Absolutely gorgeous boys! I’m sure you would support them if one (or both) of them aspired to be a mermaid! I always dreamed of being one… still do!

mamagrace71 says
I would be a totally proud mama, Deb ! Bangga sekali !
Never had any aspirations to be a mermaid myself, just Duran Duran’s back up singer. Oh, wait. You already knew that 😉
Deb @ Bright & Precious says
LMAO Grace! 😉
Bangga sekali.

4 of them !!! That’s great ! We always seem to be too late when we go to buy them. Always sold out because they’re so popular !

I haven’t seen these kind of towels. These boys are adorable.. I’d like to pinch their chubby cheeks. Sorry mom, I promise not overdo it though! Lovely picture Grace!

That’s okay, Ava. I’m always biting their cheeks 🙂
The towels are really popular here in Australia. I reckon your girlies would love them 🙂 x

Very cute and funny. Small Child (my daughter) has a hooded monkey towel and loves it, but I’m guessing she’d seriously consider giving it up for a mermaid one!!
