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,

Thanks for reading,

    Aw! What a perfect way to spend father's Day weekend! I love that foot art your kids made. Someday the small size of their feet will just be a memory and you'll cherish this frame all the more!

      I can't believe how big their feet are already! It's a far cry from tiny baby prints - but cute none the less ;0) J9 x

    The kids are so cute in their hats and shades! Love the artwork they created for dad. He will cherish it forever I'm sure. The picnic sounds fun and the food yummy. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
