If at first

Thursday 1st November

We had planned to go and meet friends today but it was raining so hard and the destination was not suitable for a buggy and Plum really doesn't like the sling in the rain (who can blame her?) so we cancelled at the last minute. We ran a few errands and went to the farm shop to buy fruit and vegetables.

Half term and the change in seasons have bought about a new vibe in the house. Craft has taken itself up a notch (yes, even more craft) but also digging out old craft and revamping it or picking up craft from the day before and working on it some more. Bean especially is starting to give himself little projects. He's currently working on a robot made from cardboard boxes which he glued together one day and has painted one side today and plans on painting the other side tomorrow when it's dry. The big idea is to fill it with sweets and presents and play pinate with it for my birthday. I love the idea although I'm not sure where he got it from.
