Catching Up With the Littlies

To South Yorkshire to see the Littlies for the first time in a while.

Best buds catching up on the World Cup:

"For the evening matches I had to go to bed at half-time".

"Harsh - for the England matches Mummy let me stay up to the end of play"...

LLA, rocking her princess dress:

It's all in a day's work for Scooter Repair Man:

The most useful thing I did all day - acting as a pillow for LMT's morning nap:

After an excellent lunch of sausages and roasties (and gravy - "I LOVE gravy", declared LBD) it was time to open some early birthday presents.  At least two of the Littlies are still small enough to appreciate photo labels rather than written ones:

"Can we open them now?"

"I need some help opening mine":

Sketch books and pens - guaranteed to keep the Littlies occupied:

LMT started on an homage to Jackson Pollock, while LBD decided to write a story:

LBD showed off his story, complete with a picture of a triceratops:

With the benefit of visual aids he then demonstrated to Amanda how the triceratops attacked its prey:

LLA, meanwhile, continued to colour in the outline created by Amanda:

Time to return to the garden, where the Littlies demonstrated their 'groovy moves':

All too soon it was time to take our leave; under the watchful eye of Mum G, the Littlies gathered on the 'waving step' and we bade them farewell:
