Nice sunny day in Scotland again today. Was extremely chuffed being able to get out with the boys again & get plenty of fresh air. Started off in the back garden kicking a ball around & playing on the swings when inspiration hit me, chalk stories. Asked the 3yr old if he fancied getting the chalks out again & he was more than happy to oblige. So we sprinted around the front & got started. I drew a picture of a lady & we began writing our own chalk story. We both took turns adding pieces onto the story with new drawings. We ended up with a pretty great story about a princess, a dragon, a castle & an evil witch who turns princesses into bunnies...

What I did however realise, is it's only a short time until the summer holidays. I solemnly swore that this summer, we are not making the same mistake we made last year. Granted, the weather wasn't particularly nice but we spent most of our time indoors, watching TV & not doing anything particularly fantastic. But this year, things are gonna change. After making a conscious effort to try & do more screen free time I realised this can't be temporary. Whether it's days out, days playing board games, playing in the garden or doing something else fun, this summer has to be fun, family-orientated & totally freaking awesome!!

Funny moment of the day came courtesy of the eldest on his way home from nursery this afternoon with his epic Star Wars spelling skills. "Mummy, cream soda sounds like Master Yoda." You really had to be there to appreciate how funny it was.
