Oh those summer nights...

Since daylight savings started here just over a week ago we have been fortunate enough to enjoy some balmy (20+ degree days) evenings. Warm evenings/afternoons combined with school holidays have meant spending lots of time outside for the kids and I.

He-Man was late home one evening so after dinner we decided to have a little play outside while we waited for his return. It was a wonderful relaxing time together.

Time spent climbing...

Removing more sand from our sand pit...

And playing with the sand no longer in the sandpit.. I think there is now so little in there I dont think it can be classed as a sand pit but rather a sand puddle.

We also took time one day to work on our treasure boxes. Sequins, glitter, buttons and glue what more can I say!

I might add that this activity was followed by a dip in our paddling pool (filled with warm water, its not that warm yet!) to remove most of the glitter and things stuck to hands and feet.

I am longing for more evenings and afternoons like these, they have lovely side effect of rejuvenating us all by allowing us the time, or space to slow down and just enjoy each other -

BRING ON SUMMER!!!
