Weekend Haven

The Orgs came to visit this weekend, with their adorable boys Reggie and Wilf. Reggie and Jambeans were playing in the BenDen (made up name for 'upside down paddling pool') when all of a sudden Jambeans emerged looking a bit worried and said, with some resolution "I don't want to play in the BenDen any more" at which point Reggie stood up, lifted the edge of the BenDen and revealed the fact he had stripped naked in there and was flashing his bits for all to see.

Laughed.
My.
Ass.
Off.

In which babymomma and poppa take a break

Gloriously sunny Bank Holiday Monday and it feels like the first time in 3 years we've just stopped. No outings, no shopping, no housework, no working from home, no plans, no nothing. Delicious.

Instead we're chilling in the garden and the kids are being fantastic. Jasmine's big thing right now is inventing words. Right now she's playing "roly goly boly poly" some bonkers game where you sit on a ball, fall off in a heap and giggle like a mad thing. Felix the Unstoppable Baby is climbing in and out of the paddling pool, then onto the garden chairs, and onto the table, then onto the trike, then across to the sandpit where he shovels vast handfuls of the stuff into his mouth, then back down the garden steps where he stage dives back into the paddling pool. He knows no fear. He is either a prodigy, or just plain stupid.
