Today we went along to the school summer fayre, and despite forecasts of heavy downpours, the weather was glorious and we had a great time. Ben couldn't stop eating and by the end of the day was clutching his stomache, grimacing, as he determined to finish his last cup of lemonade! The kids had a go on the bouncy castle obstacle course, the jousting, and generally just ran around with their school/nursery friends. I had volunteered to man the bar (strategically!) and towards the end of my sshift Ben came along to 'help' me. He started checking the coolers to see what was in the 'wine, beer, coke...' and then decided he had to put some more dfrinks choices out on the table - he was really getting into it! I was instructed to whisper the cost of the drinks in his ear so that he could collect the money from the customers, and he was enjoying it all so much that I asked him if he wanted to be a shopkeeper when he is older. 'No, muumy,' he said, 'I want to be a drinks person on a stall at a school fayre'!!! He's so cuuute.
Jasmine's new friend is Annabella. Annabella goes to nursery in the afternoons, so they don't ususally get to see eachother, but we did see her and her mother on the park the other day when I drove (I drove!) the kids to paddle in the big outdoor paddling pool. 'Bella' really likes jasmine and they were like peas in a pod both at the park, and again at the summer fayre. As we were leaving so was she and her parents, and she grabbed Jasmine's hand and the two of them walked out of the school fields hand in hand.....ahhhh
