It’s been a funny week. The weather has been a bit hit or miss, so we stuck close to home.
We’ve been busy. With soccer, the library, a birthday party, errands, baking and our summer journals.
The week has flown by.
We haven’t had an ‘outing’ since our trip to the beach last week.
We’ve played with bubbles; we’ve run and chased and tagged; we’ve played; we’ve had dinner on the porch and eaten ice pops; we’ve splashed in puddles; we’ve watched the world go by; we’ve touched a truck!
When I looked back on my photos of the week though, this was my favourite activity. Water play.
Fun, splashy, giggly and very wet!
Once she makes a run for the drive, play time is over!
It’s been a week of simple activities. Simple pleasures.
The kids can make an adventure of whatever we do, wherever we are.
And that’s what it’s all about.
I am linking up with the wonderful Coombe Mill’s Country Kids again this week. I love this linky! Click on the badge to see what everyone else has been up to!
Looks like a great week! We had a birthday too.
We’ve had fun, no major activities, just spending time together. Thank you for reading x
I agree. Water play is the best fun and if you can stay close to home it eliminates so many other stresses
Absolutely! Not having to pack bags and load the car makes for a much less stressful activity :) And water play is fab!
Brilliant! Love the look of concentration on the wee girls face!
Thanks! Lots of fun :)
Simple pleasures, I agree! Beautiful photos. Bubbles and water – you can’t go wrong :-) x
No, you really can’t!
Hasn’t it been great not to have to venture further than your own back garden. The children look like they have had a great time with water and bubble play and dining outdoors. Thank you for linking up and your kind words about Country Kids Sara.
It really has been a lovely week actually, just taking it (relatively!) easy :) It’s flown by and the kids have loved it. Thanks for hosting xx
We’ve been enjoying our garden too in the gorgeous weather we’ve been having here. It’s so funny how similar children can be (yet so different) my youngest ALWAYS drinks the water and got very cold after my oldest drenched him in water too. Looks like you’ve had lots of fun :)
My oldest always manages to soak the 4yo, who is never very impressed! They all love playing at the water table, in the sprinklers etc though!
Love the tutu! Water Play is just the best fun when the weather allows #CountryKids
The tutu is super cute!
I don’t know touching a truck ranks pretty high for us here :) Some really lovely photos. When you make a list of what you did it really turns out to be quite a lot in the end. Her face is so full of delight during the water play it’s so cute!
The trucks definitely won for the 4yo! I keep thinking it was a quiet week, but we actually did do loads!
Gorgeous pictures Sara, your wee lady always makes me smile, she is a real character with such a glint in her eye, she’s going to run rings round her big brothers when she’s older ha. Simple fun like this is very often the best time x
Thank you! Character is one way to describe her – little madam would be another! She will definitely run rings around her brothers – over the last few days she has started chasing them… Today it was with a toy sword in hand!
those bubbles are big and clear.and isn’t it funny how much a random thing like touching a truck can be such fun!
i love those water play photos. I adore the look of excitement on your daughter’s face and how much fun she is having. xx
She loves the water table! She can easily spend an hour playing there :) the 4yo thought the trucks were just fab!
gorgeous :) love the little girl. she is so cute!
Thank you! We think so, but we are a little biased :)
Your little girl is such a cutie – love the ‘too cold’ picture. Looks like great fun, mine love the water too :-)
Thank you – the water table never fails to entertain!
I have exactly the same problem! Why do they always drink the water!! It is great fun though and we would have be very excited by your truck too x
I know – it’s the first thing she does – every time! The trucks were pretty cool :)
Looks like such a good week. Bubbles – that’s a great idea as my son can’t get his head wet for a few days (hurt his head and the glue is drying). We used to have that water table – it’s great isn’t it.
The water table is fantastic – all three of them play with it! Sorry about your sons head, hope it heals quickly x
Awww I’ve just linked up too. My Dexter was exactly the same this weekend (drinking his paddling pool water). We bought some of those bubbles too – can’t wait to get some piccues of Dexter watching them float into the sky x
The bubble wands are fantastic! Loved your photos of Dexter in the paddling pool :)
You’re so right. Especially with good weather. I so want a porch!
I love my porch – it feels so American!
