Nathan was busy tying knots this morning and then got out our knot book wanting to try out a few different ones at some stage.

The day started off beautifully so we headed down to the local playground and took a couple of pieces of cardboard with us to do some sliding. We'd seen some kids doing it last week so thought we'd have a go as well.

The two of them hung around in the shrubby, bushy area around the outside off on adventures together for a good half hour where I couldn't often hear or see them. Was nice to have a safe area they could explore on their own.

I read a book and sat in the sun on my picnic mat.

They came back for food and I read them some more from The Magic Faraway Tree. We then headed back home for lunch.

The rain then arrived and the kids found a range of things to do.

Nathan played with his parachute he'd made the other day...

Both helped me cook dinner...

They listened to more Fatcat and Fishface.

Read more books.

Nathan replied to an email from his Nannie.

Got out the dress ups and watched a DVD.
