Jumble

A wet and sunny day - the heavy showers, occurring both times I walked the dog! hmmm?! Refreshing though! Jonas did better last night and has really begun the finger food in earnest, so hopefully with be gaining a full tummy and hence will then be SLEEPING really soon. His favourite food remains the pink wafer biscuits, closely followed by strawberries.

Lola and I went to help at the pre-school jumble, well help set up the pre-school jumble, I am on the committee, but often miss meetings as Rob is away so much. It turned out to be good fun, not many turned up to help but those that did all had a good giggle. Lola had great fun on the village hall stage with Harrison. Meanwhile Rob and Jonas played at home - well apparently the baby slept whilst Rob visited the butcher and cleaned the playhouse of all the mudpies Lola and Seth have been cooking out there. I got loads of toys for Jonas at the jumble sale at massively bargain prices. As you can see he loves them.

So once we'd had the usual battles over lunch over with we headed out to the bottom of the garden. Lola's pumpkin seeds have all grown so job one was to transplant the three baby plants into a pot of their own.

Then we raked over the soil and planted two rows of carrots and a row of beetroot. Not holding out much hope of many of the seeds hitting the soil though as Lola liked making the seeds fly through the air!

We took some photos of the kids grubby hands, oh and Jonas eating sand in the sandpit, as well as Princess Lola in her weekend finery.

We have friend and her family coming over tomorrow, so have spent the evening preparing food and making an apple crumble to pop in the oven...after a day of trying to tackle the mounting washing situtaion and an evening ignoring the now critical mass ironing situation I am headed for a sitdown and a vodka and tonic.
