"The building city"

It's wet outside, a storm is due to arrive with big hail this afternoon, our family is not 100%, bit tired, snuffle and coughs haven't cleared completely yet...what to do...what to do.

With jackets and gum boots on we excitedly went outside looking for muddy puddles to jump in....as we live on a hill and have drainage not many puddles were found. Only one puddle which was "too small" according to Little man. So with disappointed faces and sluggish steps inside we went.

I had remembered back to yesterday, Declan had brought one of his eye spy scholastic books to me, fave page opened (a pic of a city made with blocks with HEAPS of cars) and asked in a very serious tone "Mummy, can I play with my cars just like this?" *insert puppy dog eyes*

Over an hour ago, I suggested we get out our alphabet blocks to make a city and asked if Declan would like to bring his car rug from his room into the lounge room.....an instant hit with both munchkins.
Soon enough we were bringing out the scholastic books for inspiration and scenery for our own city.

After lots of building and collecting different items, our boring inside day just turned into a lot of creative fun!!!!

Declan has now named our city "The building city"....lets hope he is willing to pack it away until next time sometime today! :D

welcome to "The building city"..

Little man's fave section of the city.

"Mummy, those babies playing ball need an adult to watch them to keep them safe"
(placing a little people lady with mobile with babies) :D

Did I mention that I love block play!

....oh and the munchkins do too..LOL
