New Tricks

My big plan for the day was to clean the house, all of it. Completely unrealistic, obviously but it has reached crisis point! And then Bean has an epic melt down which lasts almost an hour and just as Pumpkin and I are settling down to clearing the breakfast table so he can play an andry birds game, Bean appears and asks if we can make Fimo angry birds. All three smalls are excited by the idea and we gather pictures to copy and get out the fimo. This is our first ever go at using the modelling clay and I am really pleased with them but not as pleased as the boys are.

A trip to the park, where they boys and their friend set about clearing up all the leaves, played simon says and invented a new game. A walk into town to try and find a copy of the Disney version of Robin Hood (unsuccessfully) and look at the giraffe trail. And a play date at SGS and SGG where there was much train set building, den exploring, colouring, a carpet picnic and Bean reading a whole story to me (three pages long of a phonics book, but none the less exciting)

We returned home to find, inevitably, the house in the same fimo strewn, two loads of laundry out, beds unmade, toys all over the floor state as we had left it, dirty dishes in the sink, and not one thing cleaned. Plus Plum tore some wallpaper strips of the hall wall today whilst I was showering. She can now say 'Yoda' though!
