Jake & Ellie’s Snow White & Batman outfits, a present from my in-laws, arrived today. I expected dressing up & playing with those to take up most of the afternoon but after some initial enthusiasm, & swapping costumes, they seemed to lose interest fairly quickly. They’d just woken up from their nap, & I’m sure they’ll have more fun with them another time.
What they really wanted to do was messy play. So messy play they did!
I love how seriously they seem to take it, & the concentration they give to it.
It also highlights how different they are. As before, Jake was talking non-stop, chattering away in his cute but often hard to understand way. Ellie was all quiet, seemingly methodical, focus.
The main thing is that they both really enjoyed it & several times asked for top-ups!
I hope we can do more & messier play in the future, especially if / when we move to a home with more space as we hope.
I’m linking up with Jennie’s ‘Messy Play for Matilda Mae’ blog-link, set up in honour of her beautiful messy play loving baby girl who she so sadly lost to SIDS in February. Lots of us a making a mess for her! To see more messy play posts just click the pic:

We went to one of our favourite places on Friday. We try to go there nearly every week, in all but the worst weather, & we never seem to tire of it. My ‘Silent Sunday‘ photo was from there.
It’s a nearby country park, & it’s huge. It has a big stately home (with a cafe) which looks like a castle, a lake full of ducks & swans, a playground with a castle & little houses that recreate nursery rhymes, monastery ruins & a church that date back to the 13th century, a Victorian Orangery, an adventure playground, farm animals, a little child-friendly train & more.

The train was always the first thing: it runs between the entrance & the Castle. They were always so excited wanting to get on on it, & were really upset in Autumn when it stopped for the season, especially Jake.
It’s started again, & yesterday they finally got to go on it again!
But you know what? They didn’t even seem to remember it! I know they were only 2 1/2 when it stopped, but given how much they loved it I was very surprised that they seemed to have forgotten about it.
Once on, Ellie at least seemed to enjoy herself. Jake: apparently not.
Although there was a very cold wind I think he liked it really, & was probably just being a bit silly.
With the train running we went back to our warm weather (ha!) routine of train, cafe, playing on the grass, feeding the ducks & swans, adventure playground, farm animals & walking back.
The walk back is great. The path winds & gently slopes downwards though beautiful woodlands & a over a lively stream. On the way there are wood sculptures made from tree-trunks, & trees sculpted into mushrooms that are perfect for hiding in or jumping on.
This gruesome one is a favourite:
And is very useful for ‘Saturday is Caption Day‘ posts!
Jake & Ellie somehow decided that the croc was very thirsty & spent a ridiculous amount of time pouring the contents of their sippy cups into its mouth, eventually having to be dragged away protesting loudly!
While propping Ellie up there I managed to get in a good photo of the silhouetted trees:
Then the bubbling brook from the bridge:
All in all, a great day: and they both slept like babies in the car on the way home!
