Over the last few weeks, things have been building up in this house. The children have been making a horrendous mess with their toys, I have been having a terrible fight with them to get them to tidy up and this week it has all come to a head. We needed to do something about …
Lets go fly a kite
Going to the park is fantastic. Most of the time we visit the park to play on the swing, slides, climbing frames etc. However, last weekend, the sun came out for a change and I thought, how about taking the kite hubby got for his birthday (erm, back in September), which we haven’t tried yet. …
