Extra extra

Recently Bean has been anxious about wasps. He has relocated his outdoor lunch several times or, when at home, moved indoors. Today was a good lesson for him as I got stung by a bee, I did yelp and it did hurt but it was good for him to see that I didn't lose a limb or have to go to hospital.

Today we spent the day with nothing planned and it was sunny. I had a few errands to run in town, in fact i've had them all week but just wasn't in the right place mentally to take three smalls with me. Today I took Pumpkin with me as it has been obvious that his shoes are too tight. It seemed like a good  idea just to take one small with me and have some 1:1 time and it was a good idea. It just was not a good plan to go to a shoe shop the Saturday before the Autumn Term of school starts! And I was right, he has gone from a size 9 to a size 10 1/2.

We went to the library abnd Pumpkin choose some books and I found some on themes we are currently enjoying: pirates, human body and castles. It turned out to be a reading kind of day. Both the boys delved into the bag of books when we got home and daddy read a few of them and they've been picked up and looked at on and off for the rest of the day. 

There has been minecraft as always and watching iplayer and Bean and daddy did a charity shop run and then a cycle into town to get a few bits that i had decided not to get as Pumpkin was getting tired and hungry.We attempted a bbq for dinner at Pumpkin's request but it just did not want to light so we grilled it all and then lit the firepit for marshmallows.

Pumpkin asked daddy at dinner tonight, 'what was your favourite part of the day?' bless him. 

And Plum is requesting my attention.

I told you...endless icecream!
