Just Add Water

Children don't come with instructions but one thing is for sure it doesn't matter what country or continent you are on if they did one of of them would be: just add water to have fun. Today was a cousins and water day here at Nannie and Grandpa's house. This house truly is a child's dream come true. Firstly it would appear that the word "no' does not exist and secondly every thing a child needs to have fun is either here or magically appears. On Friday Jeannes son Chris came for a visit and in true boy style left the toilet seat up so when Rosie Posie used the loo she fell in! Poor little thing was screaming, Mama Mama at the top of her lungs and I ran in to see just her head and arms showing. The toilets over here are much higher so Rosie has a hard time getting on them so she didn't notice the seat was "missing" so within the hour Grandpa had made her a step stool to aid her in her needs. Bam, just like that.

In their garden they have a lovely summer house which for the next 3 weeks has been turned into a "clubhouse" for kidlets complete with kid size tables and chairs etc etc. Today it was filled with juice, cookies, cakes and chips and anything else that makes a child's face light up. Ice creams and popsicles were served twice and that was the extent of lunch! I nearly had a heart attack but my father said it won't hurt them just once leave them alone! He was right and they loved it. They helped them selves to all the goodies and splashed around in the pool taking it in turns to teach each other English and American games Like Marco Polo and What Time Is It Mr Wolf?. I really don't know how long they played for but it was hours.

Even though neither of my girls were tired they were both fast asleep by 8pm.
