Sunny Simple Saturday & Father's Day

We had an unexpected 'free' weekend as we'd planned to visit the hubby's family in Bucks but due to littlie's being a little under the weather we sadly had to cancel.  It was decided that a much needed snail's pace was required to rest and restore.

So last Saturday (when the sun shone unlike this past weekend) we took a picnic to the local park and let the children pack a bag of toys they wished to take...  A football, skipping rope, Famous Five reading books were grabbed first.  In our house, the current obsession seems to remain on cuddly toys.  They chose five of their favourites to share in the afternoon activity with us.

Some picnicking...

 

Admiring the blue skies and church tower...

Some reading in Little Ladie's favourite spot

All sorts of climbing...

 

Little lady took her cuddlie's up in the tree too - you can just see Bubblegum - another favourite!

 

And generally enjoying the wonderful warmth of the sun.  Perfection.

As for Father's Day - to celebrate we needed good things to eat:

Hazelnut & Chocolate Drop Biscuits

 

Peanut Butter biscuits and Mocha White Chocolate Biscuits

...and gifts made with lots of love:

Hope you enjoyed your weekend in whatever guise it was spent,

Simple & Sweet Friday

Child's Play

Moments of happiness with a sprinkler in our garden on Wednesday after school. 

Beautiful, simple things.
 
Rare moments of sunshine this spring need to be grabbed with both hands - this sunny evening was no exception.  Any form of play in water is a favourite in our house. The sprinkler had it's first outing this year - freezing water (only kiddies could enjoy!).  They jumped through the streams of water, caught rainbows made by the droplets as they fell through the sunny sky and experimented with how the jets of water felt on their skin.

Happy times indeed.
