Holiday! Celebrate! Pt.2

So after our fun adventure camping, i decided that i needed to have some tricks up my sleeve for the second week of the holidays. Daddy and i had planned a 'redo the garden day' which also involved a rather nice family outing to Bunnings. (Who knew you could get seedlings, coffee, cake AND a moments peace on a swinging garden chair with your snuggly baby as your big one plays happily in the enclosed playground all in the one place!)  *sigh*  Bunnings, you make a mother happy. But aside from that, i had no plans.

Enter the magic of the great colour-it yourself cubby house! I found it at Target reduced to $15 from some ridiculous price and snapped it up. The i had to hide it in the laundry room for a few days.


After a little wrestling with the actual construction of the cubby house (much to Harry's amusement), it finally emerged in our lounge room as a crafty piece of playing goodness.




So since then we've spent a few good hours colouring in together AND removing felt pen from various places around the house. Note to self: 2 year olds cannot be entirely trusted with a box of felt pens. There's been puppet shows, hiding games, colours, counting and play dates with his cousins. In my humble mummy opinion, a well spent $15. Viva La Holidays!
