Down to the woods today

We have been down in the woods recently.  Making faerie houses. 

 It was lovely to be in the woods together & enjoying a flask of hot chocolate & apple flap jacks.  A few fights as usual but I managed to subvert the energy to fun play.  Felt quite proud of myself in that moment.

We had so much fun that we went back the next day to check if the houses were still standing & to take pictures with a charged up camera.  Daddy even joined us later.

While the kids were playing we laid on our back and watched the canopy & the leaves falling

Our littlest friends enjoyed themselves too.
