Knights only ever have adventures

---------This post's title was given to me by Isaac :) ---------

This weekend we made Peppermint Creams. They were something I remember doing from long winters past and for the numerous Girl Guide fairs I attended. They are just as sickly sweet as I remember and actually after eating about six 50p size pieces last night I woke up today with an enourmous headache, hangover style. Still, they look pretty and taste so too for at least the first mouthful. They will be sorted into little bundles for upcoming birthdays (much to the utter delight of their parents I'll bet :) ).



Here's Isaac on Saturday at 8am, slient field outside our house, cruching the ice puddles - the best sound ever he thinks!



Look at this writing! I am so impressed!



Isaac made me the wooden spoon here (Felix turned his into a dog). He said my others just were not pretty enough and I needed a beautiful one to cook with. I now have something beautiful to look whilst I cook!



Every boy needs a secret place in which to listen to story tapes (or Johnny Cash the favourite of the moment) undisturbed whilst scanning his Where's Wally books. This is Isaac's. Also has the option of curtains for extra secrecy and an easy open window for quick get aways.



Little brother likes to copy so here he is across the room:




Today the air was still without frost or wind and perfect for a day out. We three decided to go on an adventure. We each took a backpack with binoculous, paper and pens - Felix also took some knight figures, just in case, you never know when the opportunity to play with them might happen. We first saw 'treasure and gold' in a big cage whilst at the bank cashing cheques. We played on an enourmous 'Pirate ship' which was the entire playpark and bandits stole our loot so we ended up walking to the beach to dig for more. But once there had to build a new castle for some lost knights.





This is Felix exactly. He is doing his mock angry look that turns into giggles in about five seconds.




Knights: Yes Felix is wearing a floral dres (it's a 'tunic' don't you know!) Isacc asked for dressing up clothes and after suggesting a few things I said - knights tunic? Tunic it is then mother , let us go and hunt this treasure out! I just love the way this boy is so funny and dramatic in his own lighthearted way :)



Pebbles collected from the beach and ready to paint - magic afternoon sun!
