A pyjama morning

Today we had a bit of a lazy morning where Isla didn't get dressed until after lunch! We had fun at home as it was a rainy and windy day. We played at hairdressers, with Isla having her hair 'washed' and  'cut' and then 'blowdried' and also having some of her hair put up. She said that she doesn't like clips, but she does like hair bands. And she wanted an orange one today. After playing hairdressers, we made animals out of our new green play dough. We made a pig, a horse and a cow. Isla then made them some play dough pizza to eat. We also did some puzzles, drawings and shopping games. 

After lunch, we did some gardening during a brief spell of sunshine. We rescued some of our windswept plants by tying them to canes, and also hunted for any rogue snails and slugs as there were some bite marks on some of the plants. Isla reminded me to water the seedlings in our mini-greenhouse: four sunflower plants (three grown from cousin Harry's party bag seeds!) a spare tomato plant that unexpectedly germinated and a couple of nasturtium plants that Isla planted ages ago. Then we went off for a walk to the post box and to see the horse and sheep on the way. Isla climbed up the gate to get a good view of the animals, which she had seen her friend Charlie do last week. On our way back home, Isla found a wiggly worm on the pavement, picked it up and carried it with her all the way home. She said that she would have liked the blackbird in our garden to come and eat it from her hand. Instead, she put it in the soil in the garden and watched it wriggle about. She had to pick it up again though to show it to Monty and Charlie. We went inside before a really heavy rain shower soaked us.

Here are some photos of our lazy pyjama morning, with Isla showing off her new hairstyle:





Here is a video of Isla singing baa baa black sheep (a current favourite) to baa baa, whilst wearing a tutu and welly boots (baa baa is dressed as a fairy!):
