This week is not going to plan. I’ve had a broken kettle and shower, snottiness and achiness, a fire on my hob while I cooked lunch at 5pm and had to wrestle a mouse from Norman at 5am yesterday. Sunday feels like months ago….it was almost calm….
Little Pea had an auntie day out (well, a few hours – I’m not sure any of us would have lasted much longer). I think we may have got more out of the experience than him but he looks quite happy in his papoose thing, I think:
We went to a nature trail type thing which was really cool – it had scarecrows and sunflowers:
Arrows made from bushes:
Fruit that you weren’t supposed to pick:
I told you!:
Wallabies:
(ok, it’s a rubbish photo but we couldn’t get that close and Little Pea was kicking is legs with excitement.)
Insect hotels:
Pigs:
Tee pees:
Bee hives:
And scarecrows doing a spot of fishing:
Sister 2 and I also learned that attempting to feed a Little Pea in the car is not a great plan. We also discovered that putting him on my lap with the door open made him happier, but (because I was trying to feed him) the food ended up down my jeans and all over the car park. (I don’t have a photo of this bit as we were laughing too much to think about it.) Happily, Sister 1 arrived just as I’d covered his muslin in a delicious combination of spinach and prunes and rescued the situation. Being an auntie is great, but I need a lot more practice at it! :o)

Looks idyllic :)
I’m not going to lie though, the image that stays with me is the scarecrow posing as a fisherman…I may have to sleep with the light on!
I hope you managed to sleep – he was a very friendly type of scarecrow – honest! :o)
Being an auntie is fab! I have 2 nephews and it’s always great to do stuff with them. Kind of wish they were little again though – at 11 and 9, they’re getting too old to hug without embarrassing them :-)
Right – I’m getting as many cuddles in as I possibly can while it’s allowed! :o)
Hiya, its great to see that your still smiling. Enjoy your adventures with little pea – just remember wine and wet wipes are always essential when you are spending time with little ones. xx
Hello you! Wet wipes are AMAZING aren’t they? I had no idea. I realise now that the nappy bag is missing that wine you suggest on our outings. I’ll rectify that immediately ;o) xx
