Despite the cool weather, we were out and about this weekend. Getting out of the house always makes me feel like I didn't waste my weekend and readies me for the week to come.
First we celebrated cousin Sandro's 6th birthday party up in the hills. This year's party theme was some type of superhero/animal thing I had never seen before. I assume I will become very familiar with them in the next few years though. Super excited...not really.
Apparently when you are six you get to invite all your school friends to your party and your all run around like a bunch of wildlings (yes, that's a GOT reference) throwing balls at each other and dodging smaller children. My kiddos escaped the chaos and found some refuge in the sandpit. I had never let Poppy play in the sandpit before (she's only 13 months old), but let me tell you....she LOVED it. I could not get her out of it.
Two hours later we had to drag her out for some cake then de-sanded her from head to toe. I stripped her when we got home and found an entire beach in her clothing. Then it was time for a sink bath.
My son received a sandpit for Christmas last year and both my husband and I were not that thrilled. We just felt like it was mess waiting to be cleaned up every time he used it. Bean never really took to it though, so we were spared the sandy clean up. But now that Poppy loves it so much I know this summer with definitely include some sandpit fun (and clean up). Oh well, let them be kids huh.
Sunday we went to a Family Fun Fair at the Railway Museum. My son is waaaaaay into Thomas at the moment so he was mesmerised by the trains and loved, loved, loved the train rides. Plus they had hot chips (french fries) which was just frosting on the cake for him.
I never realized trains are so big. I know that sounds stupid, but seriously, who knew trains were ginormous? Not me.
We ended the weekend with a catch up with some neighbours and then did the nightly routine of dinner, showers, pjs, and a Thomas episode before bed. Sounds like a win in our house!
