My day....and the kids had a dad day

I had a sleep in this morning (who am I kidding, I always get to sleep in while Simon gets the kids breakfasted until I get up before he leaves for work).

Simon took the kids down to the park this morning, with Nathan on his bike and Danielle riding in the seat on the back of Simon's. They went puddle jumping after all the rain overnight and came home soaking but having had heaps of fun.

Meanwhile I pottered around, did a bit of decluttering and tidying, a bit of housework and a bit of nothing.

I threw together some lunch for them, then headed out on my own to stock up on a few things I was needing and browsed the bookshop before visiting my nana (without kids since she is suffering from a mild pneumonia) and getting home in time for fish and chips on the picnic mat on the floor (our local f&c shop has just started doing gluten free which is so cool).

The kids had built a hut under the dining table, had watched a DVD, were playing card games and had helped out in the garage.

Throughout the day I read books to the kids, played memory with Danielle and then read some more Wizard of Oz to Nathan at bedtime.
