The Little Red Hen

Plum is feeding 3 hourly again at night but as it is bank holiday i got to sleep in an extra bit this morning, 7.30 up.

The plan was to make a jubilee cheesecake this morning but when it came to it the boys were more interested in playing. I made it anyway as we bought all the ingredients. I felt a little like the little red hen, i'm sure the boys will enjoy eating it.

Daddy spent time playing puppets and making stories and joining in jokes that only small children understand. Bean has been busy playing with a balloon he got from yesterday's birthday party. He had it attached to an aircraft he had made and was pretending it was a bomb. It was mummy and daddy's job to defend the town using a selection of vehicles and some imagination: hurling mud from the tipper truck or hooking the string with the crane claw. Daddy was better at this than mummy.

Pumpkin has had the car garage out again for the sixth time this week. He had the cars parked on the top floor today and got very upset if they were moved. He also lined them up as if in traffic and then one by one drove them off to line them up parallel to the first line.

We went into town to join the jubilee celebrations, bumped into several people we know. Listened to a lot of music from various decades and daddy took the boys on a bus ride. We even found a random toy soldier in the sand tray outside elc...i wonder how that got there???? :)
