"Come on...." I said "it'll be fun.."

We did some more sorting out this morning. It feels like a massive spring clean has been undertaken, however the house doesn't look any different!

Mr J went out this afternoon with a work colleague so when A woke from his nap I decided to take the kids to the country park for a run around and some fresh air. P said she wanted to stay at home and A was asking for teletubbies. "Come on" I said "it'll be fun" and I dragged them out.

Just as we were pulling into the car park I realised I had left my bag behind in my haste to leave the house. There goes my hot chocolate in the cafe. Undeterred I parked up and we all got out. We went past the visitor centre and the kids went out on the grass. They ran through the tunnel. P climbed on the tree trunks and A ...well A fell in a massive muddle puddle!!! He was completely drenched and smelt awful!

So that was it. My afternoon trip out lasted a whole 5 minutes!

Once home and A was in some clean, dry clothes we settled in for the duration of the afternoon with the marble run.

Why do I bother???
