Today's adventures took us to see our best man and his family for the day. We see them maybe two or three times a year but this didn't hinder the smalls all playing along together like they see each other every day. Our best man's daughters are both a little older than our boys but it makes no difference and they spent the whole day moving between one game and the next. They had a till and food out, a tent, tricycle, guess who, chess, elefun (he really was a fun elephant!), they played 'it' all the way to the park and then hide and seek, climbing, see saw, general park running around and climbing. There was not one cross word from any of them all day.
The mummies took the smalls to the park whilst the daddy's stayed at home, rested and had a catch up together. We found a butterfly on the path on the way to the park and we all stopped to look at it. Pumpkin stopped longer than the rest and made me take a photo of it so that we could look and see if we could find it on our butterfly spotters poster. He also made me move it under the shade of a tree so it would be safe and we had quite the discussion about whether it had gone to heaven.
Bean was disappointed to see that we hadn't sold anything again today. But he has new plans afoot! He managed to stay awake on the journey home and watched a little before taking himself to bed. Both pumpkin and plum fell asleep in the car but it took a while to settle plum when we arrived home. She wasn't awake but she was very unsettled and was refusing cuddles and milk for a while. She eventually took the milk, calmed and slept.
