This day I love.......: messy

Spending more time with the girls recently has shown me just how much my youngest has grown up. She likes to help, although her version of helping is sometimes different to mine

She loves to be outside and takes every opportunity to explore

She adores animals and can often be found with J

She is constantly eating and is always messy, I wouldn't have it any other way

She might keep me up all night but she gives the best cuddles and has a beautiful smile

I feel so guilty I missed out on so much of her growing up but am so lucky to be able to spend this time with her.

This day I love my chocolate chops helper.

The great thing about it not raining is that we can get outside and have some messy fun. My youngest is showing an interest in drawing at the moment. I know this as she recently took to using crayon over every surface she could reach. My eldest is wanting to learn to write and likes nothing more than to be sat with a pencil and a book practising.

Whilst waiting for Granddad to return home we sat outside on the patio and played with the chalk. My eldest got to practise letters and shapes and my youngest could colour to her hearts content.

The nice thing about chalk is that it washes away really easy so it did not matter that it was all over their clothes and bodies, that just added to the messy fun. My youngest loved the fact she could draw anywhere and not be stopped. We drew round our feet and then round our hands

We even drew round our bodies and coloured ourselves in. The girls had lots of fun with chalk. I think I am going to have to get them some chunky chalk for at home. Of course once you are lovely and multi coloured the best place to go is the bath

Chalk is so much fun and a great way to encourage creativity especially when outdoors as you can use most surfaces.

This day I love messy chalk fun

A long day at work meant it was gone 6 before I got to see my girls. They were tired from a full day of playing and so we spent our evening having a little bit of messy fun. I gave each girl a small plastic bowl and I filled them with washing up liquid bubbles, no water just the bubbles.

The girls and I then had fun playing with the bubbles in the kitchen. My eldest cleaned my windows for me, I may have to re clean them at the weekend. My youngest chased the dog. Both girls loved putting them on their face to make some funny faces
