Most of the time ours is a happy, peaceful house however, it's not always the case.
Take today….. a beautiful, warm sunny day. It involved lots of playing outside, a picnic and even water play. Unfortunately our paddling pool needs replacing but I improvised and filled these tubs for the girls – hours of fun yes…..?
…..erm no! All was good until a fight broke out between Poppy and Rosie over this little fellow:
It ended with Poppy throwing it at Rosie's head (totally out of character) and being sent inside and Rosie in tears until a plaster and kiss made it all better.
With big Sisters out of the way, this little lady had a whale of a time. She quickly jumped into one of the big tubs and splashed around to her hearts content:
She splashed and giggled, kicked and squealed, clearly in her element. Once she had had enough and was wrapped up warm, she then made the most of being in the garden by herself and hopped onto Rosie's swing (so grown up), before cuddles with Daddy:
A lovely relaxing sunny day. Have you been out enjoying the sunshine?
