Today I planned to have our garden bird watch but jacob arranged for the hot weather to continue and this morning I decided that groceries and beer were more important that bird identification. Lucky Jacob. We did get another couple of things done though.
We bought some white flowers and put them in coloured water to see if we can change the colour of the petals. Rose visited them about every five minutes for the first few hours to see if anything was happening, I hope this doesn't go the way of the still, she will be gutted.
We also invented our own game using the marshmallow poppers from last week. We made animal faces out of paper plates (this was the only nature element) and substituted pom poms for marshmallows so the carpet wouldn't get sticky, I put out swimming noodles as scoring rings and then let the kids just get on with inventing their own thing.
This activity was supposed to be outside, that way we could have used the water bombs and some water squirting things but it was 34 degrees in the shade (again) so we stuck to the relative cool of the basement. Everyone is getting a bit hot and cross right now so it didn't go as well as I'd hoped but it wiled away nearly an hour with all the colouring and stuff.

Finally here is the cress from last week, we will eat some tomorrow. Jacob tried it and said it is a pretty yuck but he'd rather eat it than spaghetti, he is so positive!

Oh, I nearly forgot, we also went and fed rabbits and guinea pigs this morning on the way home from shopping. No photos though as we are still without a laptop.
