Simple Fun

The last few days we've pretty much just hung out at home. Yesterday was rainy and Nathan was claiming to be bored at home, but as soon as the words left his lips his mind was creating the next activity. Toys rarely featured in the creations and they filled their time quite nicely and quite differently to usual.

They had heaps of fun squirting each other and then moving liquid around with the plastic syringe the hospital gave Nathan to play with.

Nathan's "rocket ship" that I had to do a countdown about 10 times over!

And then would crash off onto the cushions...

Nathan then wanted to play pass-the-parcel with Danielle. So he wrapped up a bunch of their crayons and stones and the prize in the middle was a wrapped up apricot! That game took up about an hour coz one game was not enough lol!

They have rediscovered a CD of kids songs and I'm sure it was played at least about 6 times!

Then today, Nathan and I were sitting in the sun chatting (he'd stopped to check out the sunflower that was now losing it's petals) and I showed him some dried pea-pods on the dead plants which are at the base of the sunflowers. So we started cracking them open. He then pulled up the rest of the dead plants and we extracted the peas. They won't be kept because the peas on several of the plants were very bitter and awful tasting, so we just opened them for fun. Danielle then came to investigate what we were up to.
