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?
