This day I love.......

 Its been one of those wet and windy weekends again.  The weather has been nice and then turning in a split second.  I asked my girls what they wanted to do, but they could not decide.  They thought about it for ages in the shower

Thoughtful shower

Until they finally decided that they wanted to play in the garden.  We wrapped up warm and ventured outside.  The winter sun appeared as the girls laughed and giggled on the trampoline

The girls had lots of fun in the garden, its been a while since we have had a break in the wet weather and illness to be able to get out and enjoy ourselves.  My youngest kept watch from the castle.  She did not want any of the pirates to come.

It was however too late, the pirates had sailed their ship and found her.  Ahoy! they cried!

Ahoy

The girls enjoyed playing their pirate games and then they spotted something on the floor.  Some very tiny foot prints.

I think they maybe from our resident squirrel.

The wet weather appeared so we had to venture in doors.  This however did not stop our fun.  My eldest wanted to play the farm game.  She has devised a rather clever method of playing the memory game.  She moves all the cards that are for her board closest to her board so she knows which ones to turn over.

It wasn't too long before there was a break in the showers so we seized the opportunity to go for a walk with the dogs.  Well we would not want to miss an opportunity to splash in the puddles and run in lots of mud!

Splash in a muddy puddle

Splash!

There is something quite fun about a muddy puddle, nothing beats it!

I think I shall let the photo above say all I need to say for what we did today! [and yes that is the dog running around in the back ground]

This Day I love Splash!

I always try to fulfil the wishes of my children, although sometimes it can be very difficult.  When my eldest is asked what she wants for Christmas her current response is Reindeer and an Aeroplane please.  Now I'm not sure how I can make this happen for her but I am trying.

Today I took the girls to Wentworth Castle.  Wentworth Castle has a special event on at the moment, Christmas at the Castle.  They have a really lovely family themed trail around the gardens in which to find the 12 days of Christmas.  My eldest however was more interested in splashing in the puddles

The main reason I had decided to take them to Wentworth Castle was for the Deer feeding.  I am so glad we did.  There were Deer in every direction.  My eldest just did not know where to look and was amazed at how close they came.  She loved watching them eat.  
Reindeer Feed

It really made me smile when she decided to sign Reindeer too:

Reindeer Sign

We ventured back inside the long barn where there was a selection of Christmas art to Colour and the chance to write a letter to Father Christmas.  Once we had written the letter we put it in the postbox.  After a short while we even got a reply back from him.  My daughter really loves that Father Christmas has written her a letter.

Santa letter

The girls and I ventured back outside and we found a house in the woods.  When we rang the bell we were greeted with a Ho Ho Ho, and an Elf opened the door, inside was Father Christmas.  I don't think my eldest could quite believe her luck that she had found Father Christmas again.  

She once again asked for a Reindeer and an Aeroplane, but then said she wanted to go see the Reindeer outside.  I felt slightly happier knowing I had at least achieved one thing she wants for Christmas.

When I was younger I loved nothing more than exploring outdoors.  I still do only my exploring is a little limited having two kids in tow, plus I now get strange looks when I jump in the puddles! My daughter seems to have taken on this passion and loves nothing more than exploring outside.

I encourage her to explore outside as I want her to grow up wanting to play outside and be active.  During our walk today she asked what the piles of mud were on the ground, I said mole hills.  To this she got very excited as she has heard many a time that we walk up or down hills, and so that is what she did.  Every one that we saw she walked up jumped on the top and walked back down again.

Our dog not wanting to be left out, dug each and every one.  Towards the end of the walk part of our path had flooded.  To my daughter this was like heaven, her eyes light up and she went splash in puddle and off she went.

Once again J thought this was a good idea so joined in

They had so much fun splashing in the puddles together and I have to say I was rather jealous.

This day I love Muddy puddles and Mud Piles.
