Today's adventures were at home adventures, and we have been adventuring! Dens and books and doll's house, marble run and marble games and more books.
Pumpkin wanted his bed turned into a den. He didn't play in it much but insisted we kept it up for him to sleep in, which he is doing.
Plum is into the dolls house which had some microscopically small pieces in it but she loves emptying it all over the floor and then putting it back again. She has also taken to daily emptying the kitchen cupboard and banging the pots and pans very loudly. Pumpkin loves this and frequently comes to join her and add to her collection by bringing in the spoons and utensils.
Pumpkin was keen to play marbles today and patiently waited until Plum was sleeping do we could concentrate on the game and not have to police the marbles around Plum. We played for almost an hour.
Bean got busy with marbles too and built various marble runs and videoed their descent. It took him a while to master the videoing of the runs but he persisted and achieved what he was aiming for in the end.
The boys started drawing a few pictures to post to grandma and pops to say thank you for letting us stay and the gas works continued outside with many diggers and tipper trucks and the laying of the pipe today. Very exciting for small boys.
And lastly, we began reading Peter Pan. It was a book I picked up in the library and has been loitering around for a few weeks. Today I started reading it to Plum (yes, I know, but see what happens) I thought I might get through one chapter but within a few sentences I had two eagerly listening boys and five chapters later we were still going. So excited to be reading books I love to my boys. (And just as an aside, did you know, Never land is not second star to the right and straight on until morning?)
