Fun with Friends

Okay the first two pictures are not Fun with Friends.

This is to show how good Ethan is while getting his teeth brushed by daddy whereas when I do it, I get full on tears of rage, kicking and screaming. So unfair...

The second photo is the first pie I have ever made, albeit with frozen pastry but it turned out fantastic... I also made an amazing summer berry cheesecake that got eaten up in minutes!

The last few weeks have been so much fun. There have been a couple days of really warm weather so we took advantage of it and visited Anne and Luke at their house and then after Kirkby Lonsdale Playgroup, we went to the park, and had lunch with Helen and Erin. Then we did a bit of grocery shopping. Surprisingly by then it was close to 1pm so we took a chance and went to Burton- in- Lonsdale Toddler group. Ethan fell asleep just as we got there but the weather was so nice, we brought our some carpet, a few pillows and he had his afternoon nap outside in the sunshine!!! Ofcourse, i forgot my camera so no photos.

Today, we went to Burton-in -Lonsdale playgroup and saw piglets!! They were so adorable. Despite him being so excited this morning as dad taught him to say "Baby pig, real pig" and he was repeatedly saying it until they arrived but then Ethan was a bit afraid of them and wouldn't go near them without me. He did pet them and at one point saw the "baby pig mum mum (piglet food pellets)

He actually spent the majority of 2 hrs playing at the water table in 10 degrees weather. His hands were ice, he was chucking water into his face, dumping it out on the pavement, whipping it over his head and down his back.. needless to say he was drenched!!!! Shoes, pants, jacket, shirts, you name it! There are no pictures of this since I was constantly trying to get him away from the water table which didn't work cuz he kept going back!!

There was a bit of a break when they brought out milk and fruit, and then the ride on cars, and trikes out but i'm not kidding when I saw he was at that water table for 3/4 of the time there. The freezing water- completely unfazed by it. Unbelieveable. You should have seen when daddy came to pick us up. Adam looked at me with a "Why are you letting him do that?" expression and I just said "I've given up trying to get him to stop." Hahahah.

The last photo is of tadpoles. They have an outdoor wildlife area with a pond so we have been watching the progress from frog spawn to tadpoles. They keep getting bigger each week. Very exciting.
