Nanna came to visit.

Before that we'd been splashing in the puddles outside. One of them's a bit too deep and rutted and the lad's fallen foul to it once already (the water went over the top of his boot). This time he fell over into the mud. Good job it's only a few yards from the house.

Cintra park's Halloween party today, then on for a swim.

We impulse bought a flotation jacket (Polyotter bobin) for the lad. It was partially successful. The lad enjoyed floating about for a bit, but it's a bit tight (intentionally) and the lad tired of it. Still, it's less intrusive than arm bands.

We went to Hickory Dickory Dock in the morning, bringing more cakes that the lad helped bake.

In the afternoon we went to Bekonscot model village with the Home Dad organisation. It rained pretty much all the time we were there but we all enjoyed it... Five dads, six boys and two girls.

Toddler group in the morning - the last one, as next week is half term and the week after that we go to preschool/playgroup.

The onto Whoosh with a friend.

Finally a retun home, and we all have a go at washing cars again. This is a great new game!
