Joe: "Evie - just pass me the tortillas and a beer - I think this is the episode where Yasmin Bleeth runs up the garden"
Well despite our protestations, M+D have taken our bouncy chairs away. Apparently we were too 'heavy' or something. This sucks.
However, since we've got the attention span of a Tombliboo, we've already gotten over it and moved onto greater things.
Evie: On the plus side, I can now 'stand' (almost) by myself. Standing is great. It doesn't last long, and it doesn't seem to achieve much, but it sure beats the crap out of sitting in a bouncy chair. Turns out chairs are actually rubbish, this is way more cool.
Joe: And I've got a new hat. It's got 'animals' on it. I've been asking Dad to do impersonations of them, and so far I think his 'elephant' is my favourite. Apparently a 'giraffe' doesn't actually have a voice so it's impossible to do impersonations of them. I wondered for a while how they communicate, and then Dad explained they are telepathetic. This is the reason why they've got small aerials on the top of their head. To send emails to other giraffes.
Dad sure knows his stuff.
We were also in luck this month because even though it's too cold to fill the paddling pool with water, M+D decided that it could easily double as a 'ball pit'.
Being in the ball pit is great fun, even if there are splinters from the decking poking us in the bum. We could stay in here all day, or at least until Joe has thrown all the balls over the side (that's in about 100 balls time by the way - which is roughly 20 minutes at his current rate)
Being in the ball pit also made us realise how lucky we were to be in the garden in September:
Evie reflected on how the sunlight shining through the leaves casts a myriad of shadows and offers endless hues of green and turquoise.
Joe reflected that it's been at least 4 minutes since his last rice cake....
