We've got a miserable day, cold, wet and grey.
Today I've got the child who doesn't like being outside at the best of times, so there's been no chance of persuading him to get a puddle suit on and go into the garden! He leaves after lunch so the other children will be able to go outside then. We've got a dip in the garden that fills up in the rain and makes a great puddle so I'm sure the children will be jumping in that!
We've had a lovely, cosy morning indoors instead. I set up a pinterest-worthy winter play scene and the children have played at it for ages. Unfortunately I didn't get to take any photos of it before the first child arrived this morning. It was quite simple, but looked good with blue & white rice, glitter stars, small silver buckets, scoops, sparkly pompoms and pipe cleaners and wooden people and animals. I was congratulating myself on a job well done when there was a knock at the door. It was the first child (the destructive dynamo) who ran straight in to play. In the very short moment it took me to say goodbye to his dad and lock the front door, my winter scene had been trashed :crying: The other children really didn't worry about what it looked like and got just as much fun out of it, but it would have been nice for them to see it in it's newly set up state :laughing:
Has anyone got into watching anything good on TV yet? I'd been watching Traces, which was good. Last night's episode ended on a bit of a cliff hanger, so I watched the rest of it on Iplayer. I never really binge watch or watch things in advance of them being on TV, so it was a new thing for me! Now I need to find something else. I've got The Great Pottery Throw Down on a Sunday and Holby on a Tuesday, but I think that's it so far.
Enjoy the rest of your days. Stay dry and stay safe :thumbsup:
