Wet, wet, wet = Pyjama Day

BritMumInNZ

We were all set for a play-date this morning, but Alice had me tossing and turning a bit in the night and Charlotte sounded heavy with a cough first thing. I canned the play-date and proclaimed a ‘Pyjama Day’.

We started with Disney Sing Star after breakfast:

Made chocolate chip cookies for morning tea:

Followed with a jam session on the keyboard and guitar:

Then we decided to have some fun in the rain:

Jumping in puddles

And check the mail (because we don’t have a letter box in our front door like in the UK, instead we walk to the bottom of the drive-way):

Had a warm bath in the middle of the day:

Played in the mud in the garden (I was watching from the kitchen, busy doing the dishes and minding Alice – alas no photos!).

And got out the lego, whilst Alice conked out for a nap mid-feed (me looking lovely in p-jays, pulled back hair and not a smidgen of make-up – very brave posting this photo up)!

Lego & Alice

Frances rode in at a little past 3.00pm, like the calvary, to take Charlotte and Sophie off to the swimming pool to burn off some steam. Mummy and Alice retreated to bed for a wee nap before dinner, bath and bed… still haven’t adjusted to daylight saving – they went to sleep before 9.00pm – just.

A great Pyjama Day and guess what… it’s STILL raining!

  2. hope Charlotte gets over that cough fast

    my friend I never wear makeup
    makes me feel very self conscious
    makes me feel like people will stare at me

    Alice loves the sing star doesnt she 🙂

    is Frances a good friend?
    you often mention her

  4. Come rain or shine you always manage to have a good time.!! Love the bath times and those eyes are just magic!! Rain forecast for us too but then again ‘just walking in the rain’is actually a happy song!!…as is the ‘umbrella’ walk up the drive…makes our hearts sing!! Well done Francis too!!…more wet time, but great too for you and fun for them. Take care loves.

  5. What gorgeous photos and it looks like you had fun. I love rainy days. And you look great without makeup.
    I didn’t realise that you have a little Miss Alice too – isn’t it a pretty name. And you have such a pretty baby.
    Thank you for commenting on my blog. You always leave such nice comments that I’m always so glad to hear from you.

  6. Oh what a lovely idea for a day! I love themed days – about once a year we have ice-cream day. Most of the time we try to keep things healthy, so every now and then I like to swing the other way! We try and incorporate ice-cream into most meals and snacks of the day – it sounds worse than it turns out:-). Cream on jam and toast for breakfast, a berry ice-cream from the vegie shop for morning tea, a fruit ice-cream with ice-cream in it with lunch, choosing a new ice-cream flavour each from the super market etc. It turns the ordinary into an adventure!
    I hope you have fine weather soon – we have lots of sun, but it has been a tad wobbly here in Christchurch lately.
