One boy and his dog

Archie, the dog, came to play for three hours on Friday. We took him over to the green to play ball for half an hour. We took turns to throw the ball using the flinging stick and had competitions to see who could get it the furthest. Then we took him home where we played with his soft toy and finally settled down to cuddle on the sofa.

Plum and I made biscuits in the shape of flowers and decorated them with petals and a bee, she counted and made exactly two each for our trip out tomorrow. I then made choclate chip cookies for everyone else.

Saturday was a mummy and daughter day for Plum, 5, and I. We drove to FA#3 house and played with cousins C and H until it was time to go see My First Ballet:Cinderella. We all loved it. Plum is already planning our next ballet outing. We then went back to FA#3 house for more play and pizza and climbing piles of woodchips which led to a shared bath and hairwash too.

Sunday Bean, 9, and Pumpkin, 8, stayed at home for Church as Bean is full of cold. We bbq'd our sausages and garlic bread for lunch and spent the afternoon sitting in the garden. Bean got out his remote control monster truck and Plum played with our neighnour across the fence. Pumpkin was playing on his tablet and Pippin slept.

I took Bean, Pumpkin, Plum and our neighbour to t@4 at church for the story of the cruxifixion and an egg hunt. We then came home and i spent time loading the boys games onto our newly refurbished computer. Daddy then lit the firepit and the smalls all toasted marshmallows into the evening.  Pumpkin ser himself down to play roblox now that the computer was all set to go.
