Well after Kory's post earlier today, we had lots more fun, so thought I'd pop the other photos on!!  It was actually really hot here today which is unusual, so we too full advantage of it.  While Krystal was still asleep, Kory and I dug out the old pot plants and did some new ones which really brighten the garden up. 

Once Little Miss got up, we dragged out the paddling pool, filled it up, got the kids UV suits from holidays on them, lathered them in suncream and let them lose with some balls and water!! 

They had a great time;  Krystal thought it was really funny to stand up and crash down making a big splash! 

Once they were done doing that, it was snack time and I remembered we had a sprinkler.  So while they were eating I got it out and connected up the hose.  At first Kory was really freaked out about it (as usual with anything new) but the longer he sat watching it and seeing it did the same thing each time, the more interested he became in running through it. 

James came home tonight with his carshare, meaning I could get on with making dinner, so I made us a  a yummy salad, with corn on the cob and the troops had burgers while I had halloumi.  Just like being on holiday!!   We've discovered that Krystal LOVES corn on the cob, and does really well at polishing it all off!
