Here be dragons

Pumpkin has really got into drawing lately and I'm thinking of investing in some sketch pads for him, not only to place value onto what he does but also to limit the amount of paper flying around the room! Today's master piece was a dragon. Inspired by yesterday evenings viewing on iplayer: Dragons. His picture came in the castle scene including doorbells. The dragon had wings and claws and talons and fire and ears and a tail and spots. 

Plum saw her brother hard at it and decided that she wanted to draw too. I had been to town at the weekend and purchased new pens too, phew.

And whilst all this was going on Bean was busy with lego in his bedroom.

The afternoon was spent with our home ed friends in the park. Three hours of play and i barely had any interaction with any of my smalls. Plum mastered the slide and went down it repeatedly. Pumpkin spent a large amount of time happily on his own and Bean alternated between being on his own and being invloved with the other. Bean even made arrangements with a friend for a play date and I notice more and more so his desire to extend his social circle beyond the few get togethers we have in the week.

Back home and the new den was put into action again and we found the box of duplo that has been hiding for some months now and this spurred the boys into two hours of play together mostly building and playing with the town scene (including a farm.) 

And my triumph of the day was finishing the curtains for Pumpkin's bottom bunk bed so that he can have his own den without having to dig out sheets every time. He loves it.
