Last Thursday Bean declared that he wanted to make himself a robot costume (just as we were walking out the house to visit friends.) Today we finally got around to doing it. We're not a highly scheduled family but other things have seemed to come before the robot construction, like going swimming with daddy and Pumpkin on Sunday afternoon and going to Fisher's Farm yesterday. He spent ages choosing the right boxes and drawing on where he wanted parts cut out for his head, arms and legs to go. We then used the craft knife to cut the boxes up. The head box didn't work out quite how he planned with the mouth piece covering his eyes. He then mixed his own paint and got painting. It's not finished yet though! Meanwhile Plum painted herself and a picture, and Pumpkin watched endless Meg and Mog.
Pumpkin brought me his kindle at one point and asked me to look up what 'snapdragons' were. We looked up several pictures and then found out why they are called snapdragons. He wants to go and see some and then grow some in the garden. We also spent some time gathering ideas for his birthday party this weekend.
Plum set up her own game of Angry Birds today and spent most of the time in her new fairy outfit that she bought with some birthday money as well as playing with some polystyrene packaging.
The boys spent the evening playing on the wii and Plum and I did several puzzles together before snuggling down to read stories. At the weekend daddy put together the bunk bed for the girl's room. Plum loved the look of it so much and was so excited that she has moved in. She is still crawling into mummy and daddy's bed at some point in the night but her bed in our room has become redundant. It feels a bit weird and is totally unexpected as she had shown no signs of wanting to sleep in her room but she is so happy and loves her big bed and, this evening, she discovered the pictures on her wall and rearranged them all by putting them next to her head and making a "garden."
