A picnic with the kids



Tuesday morning got off to a bad start... Harry was tired and cranky and i had a very broken toe that was ridiculously sore and it was 400 degrees already so i was cranky too!! So after a few tears between the two of us Harry went into his room and read books quietly for nearly two hours ... he already knows to just walk away when Mummy is cranky!!!

Amelia was oblivious to the drama and was enjoying being able to get up to mischief without Harry and I watching her every move. After she went down for a morning sleep Harry came and gave me a big cuddle and kiss and told me he loved me and that he really wanted to do something fun today!

He chose to go down to Sandgate to have fish and chips and then a play in the park and he wanted to bring HJ (the dog). Great idea because we really needed to get out of the house but it was an extremely hot day.... so we lathered on the suncream, got our hats and water bottles and braved the heat!!

We had a great picnic lunch.. Amelia ate a whole piece of fish and didn't leave much for anyone else to eat but she was happy!!! Harry took HJ on a big walk along the water and then Amelia, HJ and i sat down under a big tree while Harry played in the park.

Then it was home for us all to have a sunny sleep in the comfort of the airconditioned house!
Thank goodness a bad day turned quickly into a great day!
