My Mum has been away for the weekend so we have had some time to ourselves for the 1st time in around 4 weeks and it has been blissful. I hadn't realised quite how much I had missed it. But I had. The weekend started well with Andy having a 1/2 day on Friday and after a lovely lunch in the local Harvester we visited Tiverton swimming pool. There is a lovely baby pool that doesn't make you gasp as you get in. We are trying to give both of the children confidence in the water as I intend to enrol them in swimming lessons when we get to Sydney. I would like them to become nippers if they enjoy the water in the future.
Isla and her ice cream at the Harvester. For one so young she is surprisingly capable with a spoon when it comes to the cold stuff!
My childhood pony who is normally cared for by my Mum has fallen to my responsibility over the weekend and it's been really nice pottering around on the yard with the children in wellies and the sun has been shining which has helped.
We had had lots of lovely walks and as Isla is now walking she has been breaking in her 1st pair of wellies over the last few days. After a wobbly start she is now getting on pretty well and we have spent a lot of time splashing in puddles and squidging through the mud which they have loved! Here are a few choice moments of loveliness.
Muddy jeans demonstrate a little fall!
Boys love sticks.

Getting pretty good on those pins now.
Too tired to walk any further.
That's Finn on my pony. Start 'em early.
Cheese.
Over the weekend wehave - had a relaxed Sunday lunch, made fairy cakes, watched Bolt, had a chinese - all 4 of us for the 1st time, splashed in the mud & puddles, kicked around in the leaves, wandered across the fields, visited my Grandad - next door!, examined the new tractor on the farm - both children had a sit in, said hello to the cows & sheep and overall had a fabulous weekend.
I have such a lovely family. I am so lucky.
