Project 365 2015 – week 9

It’s week 9 of Project 365, and the days are getting longer. ย Yay. ย That in itself is confusing N, so we have lots of conversations trying to explain that we can eat tea when it’s not dark! ย So we’ve been getting outside a bit more, if only staying round the farm and local.

Sunday, we went for a scooter and bike ride round the park in town, and I spotted the catkins out.

This week’s had a lot of Lego going on. ย We got sent some to review, so we had to build the first set on Monday. N does really well with the building side…the looking out for the correct pieces isn’t his forte.

Tuesday was a bit of a loony evening. ย N and his dad decided to build a den in the corner of the living room, so I grabbed a few photos of them mucking around. ย The photos weren’t great because of the light and distance using my phone, but I just love N’s cheeky face in this.

Wednesday was an evening of paper crafting. ย N always comes home from nursery with tonnes of paper, and maybe one squiggle on each page. ย So I started making some paper goodies for N to play with. ย Hours of fun.

Thursday I had to get a photo of N’s new shirt for Trendy Tot Thursday, but he wouldn’t give up playing with the paper bits from the day before. ย A few days later and they’ve got a few more bits of colouring on them, and are still intact.

Fridays are the only day that I pick N up at 3pm from nursery. ย It means he’s just in time to catch the men having tea break before going out with his dad for a bit. ย But yesterday, we missed them going out so I had to trudge (still in my decent shoes) down to the yard to catch his dad before he drove off in the tractor. ย Needless to say the calves all came to see us.

Saturday and N had a birthday party to go to, of one of his nursery friends. ย The party was at the business park down the road from us on a farm site, in one of the units. ย The kids had a great time, and when a real tractor was brought over for them to have a sit on. ย I’m not sure N was that excited given it was the same as one of the tractors at home, but he did have a couple of sits on it later. ย And I really enjoyed meeting several of the nursery mums. ย Usually you just know the children, so it’s nice to get to know another of the mums of a child that’ll likely go to the same school as N.

    1. I ended up carrying the bike while he used my scooter. Today was better because he just took out my scooter, and then was happy to run alongside while I had a go.

  1. I’d seen a few catkins out but yesterday I went into the garden and our neighbours tree is suddenly full of them – I’m sure they appeared overnight! Roll on spring….

    1. Well, it was on the business park really, which is owned by the farmers. It was a tad muddy walking to the unit, and a bit muddy. But nice to have the tractor come
