![Warm weather is fab. Not only because it’s nice to get outside and let the ferals enjoy a free range life but also because I can take their lunch along to the park and not have to worry about all the mess. Because, pigeons 🐦 .
They’ve got the cutest lil baby bench in the play area near me which is perfect for one year olds. Less perfect for their grown-ups who literally have to tie themselves in knots to sit awkwardly on it. But if you’re determined enough... ☺️

[Picnic essentials: Rediscovered our @yumboxlunch which is going to see a lot of action over summer. And have found the @blafre_design water bottle one of our favourites so far - pretty indestructible and super easy to clean. Plus, it doesn’t leak!]

![Could dinnertime be any more chaotic? Think chickpeas and noodles being thrown at your face by the grinning one year old, a two-nager secretly slipping in bits of half masticated fish into your bowl whilst simultaneously picking out all the good bits (the chickpeas apparently), a constant low whinge of “I want... [Maggi, a tissue - but not THAT tissue 🤷🏻♀️, some more water, a knife, a boiling egg, a chocolate egg 🤨, something else...]”, a back-breaking number of retrievals of dropped cutlery, stuffed toys, lost socks... from the floor, intermittent high pitched screams from GD as he realises we’ve strapped him into his high chair since he developed the strength and co-ordination to be able to escape, half started / half finished conversations with @tjjgash... .
And then, to top it all off, a cat digging its claws into your shoulders so she can get a better vantage point for the (bloody expensive) fish which HB is invariably going to poor and prod and leave on his plate.
.
How’s dinner time at your place? Does anyone actually have any remotely civilised meals when kids are involved? How old are they before mealtimes become less like a circus where all the dangerous animals have gotten loose and you have only a carrot to fend them off with?
