Dave was off working again today so as it was a lovely sunny day we spent it sorting out bits in the garden. Whle Ben happily played with his new train set (Steve gave him the set from yesterday!) me and Eilidh emptied all our potato buckets and got a good load of potatoes to eat. The kids then decided they wanted their paddling pool out while I tried to tidy and sort out the rest of the garden.

After getting them into their swimming costumes and trunks I busied myself, then realised that two little bare bodies were running around our garden getting covered in mud and then washing themselves in the paddling pool.(Ben was doing his streaker impersonation!!) Eilidh then decided to get some sun cream on and proceeded to make mud soup...not a good combination!!! She decided she looked like Bam Bam out of Fred Flintstone and ran around the garden like a mad thing covered from head to toe in sticky mud!!! What delightful children we have!!?? Needless to say they both got chucked in the bath before they were allowed to do anything else! Well they enjoyed themselves and I managed to get the garden a little bit tidier.
