I dried Islas hands in the bathroom came out and there was a bird in my kitchen. I totally shat it. So did the bird. Daddy Nicolson casually ignored me seeking his bird catching skills 😂😩 he's "working from home" but so am I. This could have justified him coming to at least laugh at me and see the beautiful baby bird albeit briefly. The wee bird just flew out as I am clearly turning into Snow White or the Disney Princess in Enchanted.
Then the scrubbing began. Sigh.
Challenge 3 was all about going on a nature walk and seeing what we could see.
We saw lots of red admiral butterflies and small white butterflies with orange bits on their wings and young bumble bees just hovering around. We weren't fast enough with the camera for pictures. The butterflies went super high and we're almost dancing together.
Our nature walk kept us busy but the litter still makes me a bit upset people don't know what they have or really appreciate it.
I think I'll order a litter picker and start filling a bag every time we go to the woods. Every little helps.
After that we got home and got to work on our sensory challenges. We played bat tig which just descended into giggles and when I was the bat I was so nervous I walked right into the trampoline. 😂🦇
Next was the nature's potions 🐰🎉
After lunch Bruce and isla set to work making the most nature inspired potion with conditioner, water, bicarb of soda, bits of leaves and flowers, all kinds of paint and flour. Made absolute mirk! 😂 It was a good activity to try cos my wee lad is tactile defensive and won't touch anything slightly wet unless it's meant to be wet like a bath or a swimming pool. He was more than happy to stir it but isla got right in there. She was enjoying it so much then we had to do a quick dash to the toilet 😂 spraying paint everywhere 😂. Safe to say I cleaned a lot from us both.
🤦♀️ I don't even have a photo of the mankiness of her cos my hands were COVERED 😂🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♀️
Next activity was Nature's camera and one of my favourites. I think we'll take the camera with us quite often during the project it's fun. It cuts off your peripheral vision the way we made it and let's you focus only on the front part of your vision. It's a strange sensation. we saw some birds and bees in the garden and a family of pigeons.
Then the kids relaxed in the gsrden in the paddling pool while I stared into the abyss and watered my wee vegetable garden. Then blissfully unaware of how manky I had gotten I went to the shop for ice lollies and some dinner and cashier said you've been busy today then wi the weans?
Of course.
The post pandemic plan of me just shutting my eyes in a glamping pod after a firepit or chilling out in Aviemore sounds so super dreamy. Laugh is.... I'll end up taking the kids cos I'd miss them too much 😂tomorrow's plan is to do den building in the park!
Fabulous activities.
