As Boo had had her first full week of school, we decided to keep last weekend low-key, thinking she’d be tired. I have to say, if she was tired, she hid it very well! We spent Saturday in the garden, and then just popped to the local shops on Sunday for a few bits and bobs, and pottered about the house and garden. On Sunday afternoon, I was ironing (I’d love to say I was doing something more interesting, but it is what it is!), when I heard riotous laughter and shrieks coming from the garden. It turns out Daddy was playing horsey and football with them, and they seemed to enjoy it….
I love seeing them playing with the Husband, especially with things that I’m just no good at! And the squeals of glee coming from them were just precious. No amount of toys are any substitute for Daddy time in the garden.
We tend to have more interesting outings of a weekend, but as it often turns out, even the ordinary can be heaps of fun for kids.
They look like they’re having the most perfect time, all full of smiles. Sometimes the simplest fun is the best isn’t it? 🙂
Yes, it really is. They were laughing so much!
It is most definitely Daddy’s job to provide squeels of laughter for the kids, especially mummy’s are stuck in the house ironing!
Absolutely! x
You can tell they are having lots of fun! Love their smiles #countrykids
They loved it! Thanks x
I love it and you’re absolutely right too. Sometimes it’s just being at home and enjoying time together that counts as much as the grand trips out. Hope the ironing didn’t take too long 🙂
Nope, never too long as I do it load by load – I can’t stand a build up! The giggles were a lovely soundtrack to my chore, though 🙂
Looks like they all had a great time. You don’t need to go far to have fun.
No, plenty to keep them laughing at home x
Aww love this post and it is exactly the same in our house – in fact I have a very similar post scheduled for this evening! Daddy time in the garden is just the best 🙂 Love how happy they all look xx #countrykids
It cannot be beaten, and I accept I’m just not as fun out there! xx
Happy little things! They do look like they are having the best time! Beautiful photos x
They loved it! Thank you x
Dad’s really come into their own for family fun like this and the children just love it. Us Mums….it’s just a pleasure to watch it all unfold, beats TV any day! Thank you for linking up your garden frolicks with me on Country Kids .
Yes, it’s definitely something they’re brilliant at! It is so lovely to watch 🙂 Thanks for hosting x
Little T loves it too when her dad plays with her. Your photos reminds me that it’s the simple things in life that really matters 😉 #countrykids.
Oh, it really is. These little every day moments are the special ones 🙂 x
Gorgeous happy pics, love her flip flops 🙂 Fab idea to keep it low key after a week of excitement xx
I love my flip flops, so Boo naturally had to choose some for herself, too! Felt lovely and relaxed, thanks xx
It looks like everyone was having fun. It is lovely seeing kids laughing with their daddy, especially just having a good old fashioned run around in the garden.
It’s a sweet thing to see, and after taking a few shots, I retreated again to let them all get on with it!
That’s just lovely, you can see the enjoyment on their faces #CountryKids
Oh, they were very happy! Thanks x
It’s so great when children can enjoy simple pleasures with their dads. It’s one of the best things hearing them laugh and enjoying themselves
It really is, and lovely they were all giggling away together 🙂
Our two love playing with Daddy too and those squeals are something I love to listen to as well! x
Just adorable 🙂 x
Absolutely, I love watching my three play with daddy, and fun in the garden often generates the most hilarity 🙂 Fabulous photos Jocelyn x #CountryKids
It’s a wonderful relationship to sit back and enjoy watching 🙂 x
Gorgeous photos of some really special times. Even the ordinary can be special – as you say. I love watching my two with my husband also – such an amazing bond and it’s beautiful to see x
That’s it, ordinary made special 🙂 x
Daddy time is a wonderful thing…next time you sense some around the corner, make yourself a g and t and put your feet up! Lovely photos 🙂 #countrykids
Yes, that would have been so much better! x
You’re so right, we spend so much time thinking of super duper activities whereas our little ones enjoy the simplest of games and fun just as much. Lovely pictures x
Yes, they really do. The laughter was fabulous!
My son’s fave playmate is my husband as well. Cuz they can be rowdy! What a fun playtime =) #countrykids
Very rowdy! x
