I love the summer holidays!
Sounds blissful, am very jealous!
We’ve been in the garden, painting with our hands and feet. We’re not on summer holiday yet but so good to spend the day just playing.
Yup, sounds pretty much how it’s supposed to go. I was wondering today when oh WHEN I might get to eat the food I put on my own plate. It’s midly depressing how predictable it is that they snaffle it…harumph.
Today I had to plan a rocket build. I really, really think my 4 year old assumes I can actually make a REAL rocket tomorrow. His confidence in me appalls and delights me in equal measures.
I hate pop up pirate. Smack him on the head with a sword next time you see him. Feisty little bugger.
ha haaaa! all sounds very familiar! specially the ‘please can i have just one more hug before you go?’ clever delaying tactics!
that sounds like an awesome day 🙂
(I didn’t do any laundry either)
Very sweet.
Sounds like a great day to me! 🙂
My Mother-in-law is fond of reminding me that the housework will be there long after I’ve gone. I guess that’s her way of saying enjoy your kids while they’re young enough to actually want to be in your company 😉
Flea has some weird sixth sense about food. One chew and it’s “what have you got in your mouth, Mummy?”
Sneaky little devils, aren’t they? And I fall for it ever time!
It was perfect.
Thanks, she is!
I’ve definitely had worse 😉
Smart woman!
Oh dear. My kitchen floor is now relatively clean. For, ooh, about three hours.
