just another morning here

Anna went to stay with a friend last night (the ring-round did have some effect after all, phew!) so I only had the Littlies for most of the day. It was really nice, we just pootled around in the sunshine, went to the library, into town on the bus and back, decorated some easter eggs while Joe was in bed, then enjoyed the sun in the front garden. Eventually Anna got home and we all went down to the park for the rest of the afternoon. Still heavenly weather here. Our caterpillars are really growing, they started off about 0.5cm long and are now about 4cm long and very fat – we think they are nearly ready to pupate so we’re getting very excited … although it did say in the instructions not to disturb them at this stage so I’ve put them up high this evening in the hope that they’ll have some peace and quiet to get on with it!

Here’s Abbie with the eggs she decorated all by herself (thanks to Lakeland for these splendid inventions)

The kids traumatising the caterpillars.

p.s. don’t worry, one of these days the novelty of knowing how to do this photo business will wear off …
