An evening in the park

The last few hours of the day can often be the most stressful. Everyone is tired, tempers are short and then the kiddos get this weird burst of energy after dinner right when I’m flagging the most. As soon as those clocks change in the spring, we make the most of the lighter evenings and head out to the park as many evenings a week as we can. Bikes or scooters come along, and a rug for Mama and the baby.

The girls can run around and burn some energy off, I get half an hour to sit and relax, playing with Vega. He loves watching all of the goings on around him and feeling the grass between his toes. All that fresh air and exercise is a great end to the day, burning of all the remaining energy so they’re ready to snuggle up in bed.

Miss Baya was feeling a little poorly over the weekend, both Friday and Saturday she fell asleep mid-afternoon, and woke up clammy and flushed, and was off her food. She was happy Saturday night to curl up on the picnic rug for a while, though she managed an ice lolly and a little play on the park.

Oh – and this was Lola’s ‘stop taking my photo’ face ha!!

      Valo dioatbsp;:J&rsqun;&i personnellement assisté à une interpellation musclée d’une dame qui ne s’était pas arrêtée à un contrôle de police selon les dires du jeune policier qui l’avait. Ce jeune Policier, très remonté avait presque molesté la dame en question avant d’appeler du renfort qui est arrivé dans un car Coaster. Savez-vous comment l’histoire s’est terminée? Négociations à l’amiable avec paiement de 15000f et un portable qui a changé de mains.

    I’m really enjoying being able to get out and about in the evenings too. We’re planning a little trip down to Lyme Regis one day after school next week, it’s so lovely being so near the coast.

    Oh bless Baya hopefully she’s feeling a lot better now! I love heading out to the park for some chill time or eating tea outdoors, it definitely gives you time to relax and take it slow. X
