In case these are the last days of summer

Squirrel hunt

(The squirrels win)

So, just in case these are the last warm and sunny days, we are out there when we can. Leo, when I promise him some PARK at pick up, gets so excited he can't nap and tells everybody withing range what he's up to. His carer, "Park!" Any other mum at the door, "Park!" Random strangers on the way, "Park!" It a bit like he's on his way to Heaven (on Earth), and all you have to do is set him free on the green.
There are squirrels in Heaven, and dogs and ants, aren't there?
Tara is equally delighted, and if she needed any convincing the hope of meeting friends (new or existing), having a picnic and hogging a swing for at least half an hour would win her over. Wheeeee!




Breadstix 'n biscuits

When you haven't got all day to yourself there's nothing like a decent park on the way home from school. So there we are, out in short sleeves while we can, getting sunburnt - what a fabulous way of extending the summer past the end of the holidays.

we always stop by the park on the way home from school if the weather is nice - it's the perfect way to tire them all out before home! Tara is looking so grown up - last time I saw her she was just a babe in arms.

Du meine Güte, Leo sieht so groß aus!!! Kaum zu glauben, dass er nur ein Jahr älter als Tom sein soll! :-O

And she stared blogging again. Thank heavens. Or Leo's heaven. And that heavenly dress Tara is wearing. Or might that be a stylish uniform?

A stylish uniform indeed. We could provide Lia with one, on the condition that a) it make a blog entry and b) it never got worn when Tara was around. She'd be confused. (Grey ones are more stylish still though.)
