Wednesday 13th February
Reason #321 to love home ed: we get to see Fav Auntie #3 on a weekday (which is good because she works weekends)
We didn't meet in our usual spot as there are major roadworks on the m25 making the journey much slower and longer than it needs to be so we joined the traffic and went across country and met her at Dunorlan Park in Tunbridge Wells, it was freezing, officially 0! It was a great walk around the pond. Bean, who normally avoids dirt, decided that walking on the muddy grass was preferable and got stuck in a muddy bog. The picture does not do it justice. He was covered up to his knees. He also played hide and seek in the bushes. Pumpkin had originally opted for no coat but as FA#3 got Plum suited and booted he had time to rethink (or experience the cold) and put coat hat and gloves on. We also feed the ducks, thanks to a passer by sharing their bread supply, and checked out the boating prices ready for a return visit in warmer climes when the boating shed is open.
The afternoon was spent at FA#3 (new) house where we played rapido. It turns out that Pumpkin is really very good at making a whole range of items from playdough at speed and I am quite good at guessing them! Although it also helped that Bean was in the kind of mood to let others win and not be disappointed and upset when he didn't, he was just enjoying the fun of it.
FA#2 and cousin B joined us for dinner and pancakes and then we travelled home. Both Plum and Pumpkin fell asleep in the car (about 6.30pm) and Bean challenged himself to stay awake the whole way home, even though he was struggling at some points, just so that he could have daddy read him some stories. Needless to say, there weren't that many stories before he crawled into bed!
