A chilly but cool day

Yesterday we just hung out at home and inside since it was a chilly day. The kids had some music on down in Danielle's bedroom and I spotted Nathan in the hallway like this a wee while later (had retrieved Simon's guitar from our wardrobe).

But by the afternoon the kids were itching to get out for some fresh air and exercise.

We were browsing around the garden and I spotted a few neglected scarlett runner beans dried on the vine, so pulled them off and the kids had fun cracking them open and saving the seeds. Although most of them are really small, we'll save them for a having a go at growing new plants from them in Spring.

We then went down for a walk/ride to the playground for 1/2hr.

Danielle collected a bunch of leaves and stones on the way home. She sat up at the table and was getting frustrated trying to make her leaf stand up on the rock, so I asked if she'd like a little pot of soil instead. Once she'd "planted" it she sang a a little song we sing around here when we plant something "grow little plant, grow".
