Our littler boy was so hyped about everything that he bounced awake at half five this morning and made sure we were all up with him. We did try and put the kids back to bed and that lasted for a good ten minutes. By 10am they had been to the airport, picked up Grandma and Grandaddy,and had tennis lessons and for some reason we were all exhausted before the day had really begun.
Lunchtime saw the arrival of the entire Clan . As I made roast red pepper and tomato soup I worked out that soon we will, at least just might, have grown all the ingredients ourselves for this. Just how good would that be. We do kind of need to have a slight increase in the temperature, altho the chillies and peppers are just loving being inside with all the central heating.
Our littler boy was a pinata star. He swung at that thing with some gusto. His little cousin was a little more uncertain initially about bashing a donkey with a stick but quickly learned from watching the three bigger cousins that such activity was not just acceptable but a lot of fun. Somebody had suggested to me that we could make our own pinata but as much as I am in to eco I drew the line at the amount of creativity and paper mache that would have taken and really the fifteen minutes of bashing we got out of that one made every single penny spent worth it! it can go in the recycle bin.
We used the napkins, plates and cups that Grandma brought for y'days party today and we have kept all the plastic cups to plant seeds and baby plants in. Recycling at its best.
Then we all went ten pin bowling. Mum got a lower score than all the kids!
