Hitting each other with sticks!

The theme of todays outing seemed to be sword fighting and poking each other with sticks. I know many mums would'nt approve, but I do positively encourage a bit of rough housing.

Its great fun to have a stick sword fight ( atleast it is until one of them hits the others fingers). This was a lovely fun walk full of collecting, play, and just chilling in the last of this years sun.

 

 

 

 

We had no whinging, but as usual its not possible to get through a whole walk without any issues. We had to contend with some kids riding around like loons on a mud bike. These drive me bonkers, and its only a matter of time before one of them hits a child, pet or adult and causes them serious harm. It worries me silly that they are so popular at the moment.

 

The other issue was a Taylor special with one of the kids insisting they needed a poo, so we had no choice but to get her to squat in the woods. So many others mums seem to really struggle with even getting their kids to use a public toilet, whereas I struggle with getting the little darlings to not wee or poo anywhere, especially  not in the great outdoors.
