111. Too busy! (Today was a stay-at-home day and The Boy's cousins came over to play in the morning and stayed for lunch. We spent hours in the garden, them playing, mum supervising and us gardening. The day was so busy that I forgot to take any photos until the evening when we were playing a calming Orchard Toys game before bed.)
112. Bubble Jedi (At 9.05am The Boy requested we go in the garden. And because I wasn't at all awake (although I was dressed, I agreed. I know. We then proceeded to spend two and a half hours in the garden; me pegging out the washing and pottering about with titbits of gardening, him making up games, blowing bubbles and making dams in the water 'future' (feature). We only went in to decide on what to eat for lunch, which was enjoyed al fresco! I love Spring.)
113. #30 (After a very good day together; playing in the garden, making cakes and chilling out nicely, we had a gargantuam parenting fail/threenager situation in the evening. Basically, The Boy took ages to eat his dinner and we both got cross because we were waiting to take him to the park to feed the swans and have a run around before bed. After a temper tantrum from him when he had the audacity to say I was taking ages (!), I put my foot down and said he could feel the swans (I needed the fresh air) but would not be allowed to go to the park. Being a parent is tough sometimes!)
114. Bottoms Up! (A play in the garden after I'd finished school and The Boy has found a new use for the non-slidey slide; it's a part climbing frame and then head first down after the rolling hoops!)
115. Flying Boy (This is his new way of going on the swing, he likes the way it makes him feel like he's flying! We took mum down the beach for an ice-cream after school but she was feeling her age today and didn't want to go for a walk and so we nipped to the park instead.)
116. Back Again! (I know this is a very similar photograph to one I recently had up but there are subtle differences; mainly the lack of coat and a great deal more sunshine. We've come back to Butlin's for the Butlin's Ambassadors weekend with many of the other ambassadors. Keeping my fingers crossed for dry weather and sunshine.)
117. Even Higher! (That was what he called to the attendant on the bungee trampoline he tried out earlier today! He screamed that he didn't want to go on it, and then I couldn't get him off.)

sometimes parenting is hard, but if you are firm when they are under 5 you really do make your life easier in the long run, Hope your having a good time, and love the joy on his face as he bounces up and down there. Did you find any new play equipment?
Looks like a fun week. Being the tough guy is hard isn't it? I always feel bad but I know that it makes a difference in the long run if you stick by what you say. Looks like he loves that bungee trampoline.
Bubbles look like great fun, both mine love bubbles. Looks like you are having a lovely time at Butlins, the view from the window looks spectacular
Looks like a lovely week, I love the flying boy picture, and used to do this when I was little on a swing, can remember now I have seen his picture!
The bungee also looks great fun.
Hehe love the pic on the slide with his boots on his slide!! Very cool massive bubbles!!
I love the bubble one and the flying one made me smile because that's what Rosie's started to do recently. She says she's flying like a bird 🙂 lovely to see you earlier and hope to see you again on resort x
wow love the bubble maker! it looks like your having an amazing time! xx
I love the photo of his feet on the slide, that looks like fun!
he did the bungee – well done to him! Burton didnt want to get off either.
i really like the bubble shot and the one of him over looking the resort. i hope the weather is behaving itself this time *fingers crossed*
and the wonky well shot made me smile x
Looks like lots of fun. I love the slide photo. No child can go down a slide the 'correct' way! 😉
Love the Butlins mark 2 shot! The bungee trampoline looks like great fun and the slide shot is fab x
Loving that bubble and the bottom down the slide! Glad to hear you enjoyed Butlins – eldest daughter is going there for a big brownie weekend next year!
I just adore the picture of him looking down to the Helter Skelter – hope you have a lovely time!
Love the look on his face on the bungee trampoline.
I bet he's loved being back at Butlins
Did wonder if I was looking at the wrong week for a minute with that Butlins picture up. Lots of lovely outdoor pictures – it's lovely to have better weather for getting out and about. The bubble shot is great with such concentration on his face and I love the feet disappearing down the slide too.
My girls love Butlins. We've only been once but I'm sure they're going to persuade us to go again!
I love the bubble picture 🙂
I love the one where he's just tipped over the top of the slide. That's what it's all about!
Wow, amazing week! Loving the bubbles 🙂
Thomas loves bubbles too. I hope you're having fun at Butlins

I always love looking at your pictures every week. They all tell a story really well and are, of course, excellent quality too. And yes, sometimes being a parent is very hard indeed

Just love the bubble picture!
The Boy is way braver than me going so close to a goose!!
Lovely pictures as always of The Boy having fun, my favourite is the bungee one where is face is lit up with joy.
those bubbles look marvellous, please tell where you got them?
Those bubbles are impressive!
The photo of his legs in the air really makes me giggle. It's so funny.
Love the bubbles..and the flying on the swing!
Gorgeous photos as usual. I love the trampolining shot, it looks like The Boy is turning into a real little daredevil! My favourite is the Helter Skelter shot, it radiates excitement and happiness somehow, you can really tell that Butlins makes him very happy.
I absolutely love the bubbles one, such a great picture!
I'd like a go on the bungee trampoline, it looks like great fun! The bubble shot is lovely – you've captured that bubble at the perfect moment.
Late! But in by the skin of my teeth 🙂
Loely to see you at Butlins and ADORE your photo of Boy on the balcony
Lol love the legs sticking up! Brilliant!
