Week 2 of build!

It's been a bit slow this week as the builder struggled to get the first layer of bricks in because of the weather (pooled water can be spotted in the 3rd photo). A few hours were spent bailing water out too. Apparently now that he's almost "out of the ground" the weather won't stop him! 

30th October

Maisie and Oliver having great fun at a friend's Halloween party tonight!

17th October

Jessica, Maisie and Tucker, the school bear, went for a trip to see the ducks. Unfortunately there were no ducks but they still had good fun! 

16th October

Jessica insisted she wanted to go on the big slide at soft play during another birthday party. Unfortunately, she took a tumble which was partially caught on camera (I was hoping for a smiling upright seated position but got a head first tumble position). Other than a sore little finger she was ok!

It was Jessica's birthday party today. She had a Bear Hunt party at the Rising Sun Country Park and it was amazing! Jessica and her 17 friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Definitely recommend!
