This week has been a bit of a rough week for us. One thing and another getting to the end of the week has seemed like a marathon….and an expensive one at that thanks to our car. *sigh*
I have driven three cars this week, one that was laughably too small, one that was so ‘new’ it didnt have a key which threw me every.single.time and our own juggernaut of a car. But dragging myself and the kids out for an afternoon jaunt round a park was definately the right choice. The girls made me chuckle at their crazy little sister ways and the fun they had out of playing just on ordinary things like some steps and a bench. Its the easy simplicity of childhood.
I took the dog with me and the girls took their scooters..now i know my limitations and upon getting to the park and contemplating two small, very speedy girls on scooters near open water and a very unruly dog was never going to work. So i bribed the girls to leave their scooters in return for a promised cookie at the end of our walk…
we had no bread with us, bad mummy, but these geese just wouldn’t take the hint and followed us most of the way round the lake. Im thinking they had nothing better to do and fancied a bit of a jolly. Or maybe they took the opportunity to do a bit of line formation practice!
ah alas it was closed and we couldn’t go in and see the statues.
is that not the face of a triumphant sibling. Her sister never quite made it…well she did….just not safely! These two are little chums, most of the time. 😉
yes, her face is muddy…she thought it was funny, it is what they are discussing in the picture below….she had fallen over i think.
look you have a dirty nose! Its muddy! We go for the ‘large coats eliminates the need for gloves’ look at our house? 🙂
hey sis, is it me or is she just putting us in coats that are too big?
That’s it! I just can’t get my little man to wear gloves at all – why didn’t I think of bigger coats? I love the picture of the two of them on the steps x.
you have taken such lovely photos – stunning back drops featuring your two delightful girls who look like they are just having sooooo much fun! Your youngest looks very cheeky by the way, love her muddy button nose .
hope this week is less expensive for you x
They look like they’re having so much fun exploring together long may it continue

I love that one of them chatting together on the bench! Looks like they loved their trip to the park even without the scooters. As you say it is the simple things that can keep them occupied, glad you got out between the car problems and hope next week is less of a marathon for you. Thank you for joining me on Country Kids.
Aaaahhh what beautiful pictures. Lots of fun x.
Are you all sorted car wise now? Ours broke Tuesday so you have my sympathises. Luckily we are now on half term, and after looking at what feels like a million cars we’ve put a deposit down.
Your photos are always so amazing. Loving the mud on the nose. Big coats – now there’s an idea – I bought lots of gloves but only one child seems to have any!
What a lovely day, beautiful pictures. Our car is doing the same at the moment, I feel your pain! x
