Retro sheets and lazy days

Some old sheets, pegs and a few chairs is all it took to keep these little ones entertained.  6 kiddies at our house today.

I love these retro sheets and have been using them a lot over summer for picnic blankets (easy to throw in the washing machine afterwards) and for making huts.

I needed to keep the kiddies entertained this morning.  I looked after my nieces along with my three today.  My sister was packing as she is leaving for Brisbane after her month long holiday here in NZ  (I'm really going to miss my baby sister and her wee girl) and I also had my brothers little girls here too - so it was a busy day.

Out came the sheets to make a hut and keep them entertained and out of the hot sun.  Morning tea and lunch were enjoyed under the blue flowers - I had almost the exact patterned wallpaper in my room growing up.

It's going to be a quite couple of weeks here until kindy, playcentre and school starts back.  We are going to have slow days as it has been a really busy month for us.

We don't have a lot planned.  The next day or so will be spent tidying, cleaning and sorting out the house. School stationery and uniforms for Bell need to be organised.  Gardens need to be weeded and planted.  My vege garden needs major attention.

I have a few recipes I'm keen to try out and test on my family.  There will be of course frequent trips to the beach and playgrounds - always a must.  Non negotiable really!

How is your January planning out?

Hoping your week is a good one!
