We had quite a full day yesterday all worked around our children’s social lives! It started with Benjamin’s normal Saturday morning of two hours of football – this time an actual match against a local team of year twos. Ben had been practising his sliding tackles earlier in the week, so he came home covered in mud! Change of clothes no1!

Next we were off to a pirate party – a two-year-olds party where fancy dress was needed. Ben had a Pirate of the Caribbean costume and Molly’s outfit was pieced together from various items, and moustaches drawn on the two of them with my eyeliner pencil completed the look!

Two hours later we were back at home for change of clothes no3! We were all off to a Halloween party. This time we had Vampire Ben, Witch’s cat Molly, Werewolf Dad and Wicked Witch Mum! We all had a great time in a very spooky house eating pumpkin soup and blood-red pasta!

Both kids fell asleep in the car on the way back arriving home for change of clothes no 4 before going to bed!

It’s been quiet today, and due to the miserable weather Ben hasn’t even had one change of clothes – he’s stayed in his pyjamas all day! Nevertheless the washing machine has been on all day!

Found a great recipe online for homemade play dough at http://becomingdomestic.co.uk/2006/10/28/how-to-make-playdough-no-cook-recipe/ It’s kept both of them happy together for a while!
