Nothing groundbreaking, just some happy pics! We had a relaxed start to the day with more painting fun! And then a lovely day with Grammie!! We popped to the Park with Ollie (and Sam) after school!
Getting very good at the swinging technique!
A Daddy sliding technique….
Quick wardrobe change as our “wee wee in the grass” was very desperate and shot out at a rate of knots and misdirection meant wet everything! But ready for football soon enough!
Mummy loves a breakfast out of Cote.
Suggested to Grandma and Granddad that we met them at the Cote in Farnham and celebrated Mothers Day with both Bea’s Mummy and Daddy’s Mummy aka Grandma.
Early on we had all three girls waving at the camera before our food arrived:
After brekkie we had a little mooch around the shops and Bea loved the wooden Lion&Lamb statue as she was able to clamber all over it!
After this we wandered back home to have a go at some proper painting. Here we see our modern day impressionist daughter presenting her skills to the world.
After this she decided on a career in make up so applied some war paint to herself as an experiment.
Then in a final act of expressing herself she decided to paint her hands blue.
Here we see her chanting to the God of soap that finally allowed her to recover a normal pink colour.
We were out and about and decided a little bit of ice cream was called for, so we stopped at the village store and enjoyed a little pot of chocolate vanilla.
We had a lovely morning, we made our first trip to the library! Bea has now got her very own library card which she was very taken with and had a ball choosing her books, playing/reading on the “squishy seats!” and “working on the computer”.
Departing with her books in her “Gruff-lo” book bag!
And then we treated ourselves to a “coffee and massamellow”
Dip dip, dunk dunk!
She loves a “tissue bib!” suits Mummy!
Looking very grown up (and sporting her reflective slap strap Daddy bought her at the weekend!)
Bea insisted that we went to the Park with Ollie after we collected him from school on Monday. It was not in the plan as she had her Converse and only a body warmer…..not ideal! But she didn’t finish there…..oh no…..when Ollie’s friend Sam dutifully came and gave Bea her daily wave in the car she told him “Sam come to Park too!!!”
Off we three went to the Park. Here Ollie is teaching Bea to swing her legs OUT and TUCK her legs under to go HIGH!!!
And THEN (why I was surprised I don’t know!?) Sam arrived on his bike! That girl….!?!?!
Happy as a Pig in sh*t!
Bea got quite attached to Sam’s ball….how she climbed the steps with it I’m not sure!
We’ve had a great week: Grammie’s birthday, Nursery School Tuesday morning, Park action, swimming with Grampie, Musical Friends….and lots more! Lovely weather called for lots of outside action….
LOVES her shadow at the moment! It amazes her SO much!!
“What you doing down there Arek?”
“CHEESE with Mummy!!”
Playing hide-and-seek!
Looking a little anxious at the top! As was Mummy because she was so high I could barely reach her!!
Much braver at the top a few days later!
We were playing with Ollie’s mended iPod and had a little game using FaceTime (video calling to normal people!).
Bea thought this was hilarious, especially when Ollie poked her in the nose through the camera.
Monday was Grammie’s Birthday and it was rather fabulously on a MONDAY!!! Beas was extremely excited about all this and practiced her “Happy Birthday to Grammie” song a LOT on Sunday! We rocked up early for presents and birthday-ness and then had a delicious Birthday brunch in Côte!
Bea being her very helpful present-opening “assistant” self!
Enjoying a little “coffee” (which of course was a hot chocolate) while she awaited her brunch!
Croque Monsieur….DEVOURED!!!
More stunning weather called for more outdoor loveliness! There are so many things we could have gone off and done today but both Mummy and Daddy wanted to be home based. After lots of playing in the garden and pottering about we hit the Forest! Mummy on foot (Arek too) and Daddy and Bea on the bike!! Bea loved it, especially when Daddy went fast! She decided she wanted to walk for a while but opted for the bike seat again soon enough.
Happy bikers!
Wheeeeeeeeeeelie!!!!!!!!!
Refreshment shop, it’s tough work being a passenger!
Daddy and Bea got back to the car before Mummy and Arek (who was SO torn between his “master” and his “Mummy”, running off to Kevin and then stopping in between and running back to me! When we got back to the car, Bea was enjoying a little outdoor wee wee 🙂
As mentioned a number of times in the past week the sun has been getting warmer and more apparent.
Consequently we found ourselves sweeping the trampoline clean for Bea to bounce and bounce and bounce and… err bounce some more.
So much bouncing in fact that we were all a little statically charged!
