Up

Continuing on the up and up health wise but our spirits are also lifted with daddy being home and those who are fit and healthy (and not contagious) finally being able to leave the house.

Bean, 9, is glad that the weekend is here, daddy is home and took the Bean and Pumpkin, 8, swimming. They were out for three hours and had a great time. Plum, 5, was a bit upset but as Pippin, 2, was asleep we were able to spend a lot of 1:1 time which is always a welcome treat in our house.

I had popped out in the morning and bought a few things for the smalls. I had We're Going On A Bear Hunt on dvd and we watched it three times. We then opened up the origami that i had bought for Bean and had a go at making a giraffe and then then Plum made a card for daddy whilst i made a string of paper hearts.

Bean and Plum slept on the living room floor again.

Daddy went to church solo on Sunday. Bean had an extra long bath and was submerging himself and playing under the water with his goggles. We played Akinator together and Bean read a lot of the questions himself. He played Akinator for most of the day. We read the next chapter of Harry Potter and i remembered that we read a chapter on Friday and Bean had made me his first cup of tea for me...best cup of tea ever. Later we made some origami animals, today was a bat, a fish and a fox. This led to making a paper game that probably has a name but i don't know what!

Pumpkin, 8, spent all day on his tablet, playing games and watching youtube.

Plum, 5, and Pippin, 2, played with home made moonsand for two hours in the morning together and we returned to snuggling on the sofa in the afternoon where Pippin fell asleep on my lap. Plum went and washed Charlie and helped daddy to clean out the hutches. When Pippin woke up her and Plum played watering plants in the garden together.

Dr. Foster

The boys began the morning in an artistic mood. This time on paper!
Plum had a check up at the doctor's and then we headed off.

A Volcano by Bean

A day trip to Drusilla's even though it was raining and I thought all the animals would be in hiding. As it turned out we saw some animals we haven't seen out before and we have been a lot of times!

Pumpkin challenged himself on some of the indoor play equipment and went down a tunnel slide and the bumpy slide too on his own. He was so pleased with himself. He even held Bean's hand down an outdoor tunnel slide to give Bean some confidence as he won't normally go down these. Pumpkin also managed to find a puddle that was about 1/2 cm from the top of his boots.

Bean enjoyed me reading the information to him on certain animals and has definitely developed a preference for different animals. He continues to find Penguins interesting but won't go in to see the bats or the parakeets.
