Oh, the pain...

Well, that's what happened to me when I decided to have a ride on Nathan's new scooter this morning. I was zooming down the hallway and the muscles in my back/shoulders went ping. Silly mummy.

However, we were still able to go out and meet up with friends down at one of the local parks. The kids swam in the paddling pool there, played in the playground, wandered around the miniature railway tracks and then they wanted to go down to the beach next to the playground for a splash around. So a few fun-filled hours were had by all.

This afternoon was me spent lying down with a headache from the tension but I was able to read books, answer Nathan's writing questions and help him fulfill his need to draw road signs. They played with playdough, dressed up in their matching capes and raced around, played in the sandpit and bounced on the tramp.
