Last weekend we had one of those Sundays that held nothing remarkable, and yet it felt perfect.
I decided to pop my blog work aside for the morning, and we all had a lazy breakfast, then lounged around watching a movie. Of course, as with my two, even after this, it was still only 9am, so we got cracking on getting a few jobs done. The kids and the Husband washed the car (they LOVE doing this!), whilst I got some housework done and had a big sort out of Little Man’s old clothes. It felt good to get a few things done, so we then had lunch and jumped in the car to take advantage of the sunny day.
We went over to Sandwell Valley, to Forge Mill Farm. It’s a great place to pop to, as there’s a farm to look around, free of charge, a farm shop and a little play area, too.
There were piglets and lambs, along with cows and ponies and the kids’ favourites, the chickens. Every time they went near them, they squawked at them, which the both found totally hilarious!
We then went over to the in-laws, for our usual Sunday gathering there, which we always enjoy. After that, we took two very happy kids home for dinner, bath and bedtime, and then had a nice sit down ourselves.
It was a perfect, yet ordinary day.
Hi Jocelyn, days that just happen like that are the best. Getting to do a bit of everything makes for a perfect day….I wish my two enjoyed washing the car! How did you train them?
Lovely photos!
xx
Ha ha – it’s something they’ve always been overly excited about! x
Sounds like a very productive, happy family days. Some times the ordinary days are the best. 🙂 my girls love it when the chickens squawk back too. #countrykids
Yes, I love days like that. The chickens are clearly the funniest!
Now this looks like a perfect way to enjoy a sunday. a lovely relaxing mix of activities and springtime outdoor fun for the children too. Looks like the farm has lambing well underway and what an attraction to have all free of charge. Thank you for sharing with me on Country Kids.
It was lovely, and I’m so impressed all of it is free, too. Great place to pop over to on a nice day 🙂
Jocelyn your Little Man is looking so grown up these days!! Sounds like a very lovely Sunday and a good combination of jobs and family fun 🙂 lovely to see the sun shining isn’t it? Xx
He’s growing up so quickly now! Where did my baby go?! Oh yes, nice to get a bit of sunshine 🙂 x
That looks like such a great Sunday, relaxed but productive. I wish we had a free to visit farm like that nearby, we’d be at it all the time. The closest thing we have is Pets at Home! x
It’s brilliant, isn’t it? Found it last year, and it’s great to pop to if we’ve a free afternoon now x
Sound like a pretty perfect day 🙂 Little Man looks so grown up in the first photo!
It was! I know, he’s ageing!! x
i love those kinds of days, that sort of come from nowhere and are the best. Looks like a gorgeous day out! Xxx
Yes, exactly. No plans, it just evolved and ended up being lovely x
You ended up doing so much on your relaxed Sunday. It looks like it was a really lovely day 🙂
We did, yet it still found nice and relaxed 🙂
That sounds like my kind of Sunday! I love how when you have small children you get given the ‘gift’ of time- breakfast and whole films have been watched by 9am here too! x
Oh yes, they’re great at that gift! x
Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend!
It was, thanks!
Sounds like a perfect day and what a lovely farm to go to for free! Lovely pics x
It was a great find! Thanks x
Aww my heart has been won by the tiny lambs – they’re just so adorable, what a wonderful expedition!
Ah, they were. I couldn’t get a good pic of the piglets, but they were so cute, too 🙂
Unplanned days are always the best kind of days. Lovely photo’s , it looks like you all had fun at the farm x
They do seem to be! Thank you x
Sounds like a lovely weekend. I love the days where I put my blog work aside and get out in the fresh air! x (ordinarymoments)
It’s hard to do but I felt so much better for it x
Ah this looks lovely, just the kind of day we enjoy too x
It was fab, thanks x
I haven’t stopped by for a week or so (or it feels that way, at least) and I can’t quite believe how much Little Man has shot up! Where did that growth spurt come from?! He really does look like a little boy now Jocelyn!
I know, what is going on?! X
Ahhh what a lovely sunny day. Where has the sun gone now???? I love Sandwell Valley. Not far from me!!! x
School holidays = goodbye sunshine! No, not far at all, lovely place 🙂 x
Sounds like an amazing Sunday =)
Lovely photos.
It was a good one, thanks 🙂
Now that sounds like a really good Sunday! I love the ones that aren’t planned but make you sit down at the end of the day with a smile on your face!
Always the best 🙂
Those kind of sunday’s are definitely my favourite kind. I love those lazy days where everything just goes according to plan. The farm looks great and it’s definitely nice to forget about work and blogging every once in a while- I should do it more often! x
It’s tough to do, isn’t it? Felt good, though 🙂 x
