Yesterday was another really chilled one… and I'm starting to think we might actually be getting the hang of this relaxing-on-holiday thing. 😂
The morning mostly consisted of tablets, with 3 of the 4 kiddos playing Roblox together.
And yes, I know… screens. 😱😂
But honestly? Hearing Theo getting so chatty and animated while they were playing was probably one of my favourite parts of the day.
I rarely see him completely immersed in play with other children. He's quite happy doing his own thing alongside everyone, but actually playing together isn't something I get to watch very often.
So hearing him talking through what they were doing, giggling away and properly getting involved with the others was just lush. 💚
It might have been through a tablet, but they were still playing together.
Still socialising.
Just in Theo's way. 💚
Eventually we dragged ourselves away from Roblox and wandered down to the shop to buy snacks because… we're on holiday and apparently snacks are now an essential food group.
Although with four children, I'm beginning to think I should have just budgeted approximately £700 for snacks alone. 🙃😂
Back to camp for dinner before heading down to the evening entertainment for more dancing, lots of giggles and even a murder mystery for the adults. 👀
Zachary somehow ended up ON STAGE.
He got up there, said his name into the microphone…
…and then apparently realised there were PEOPLE LOOKING AT HIM and promptly legged it back off again. 🤣
A very brief but successful career in show business.
And then there was Theo.
Theo went to the toilet like a completely normal person.
Theo did not return from the toilet like a completely normal person.
He came back carrying what can only be described as approximately half a roll of toilet paper. 🤨
Before I really had time to question why he'd apparently raided the bathroom supplies, he'd started fashioning himself an entire collection of accessories.
A headband.
A tie.
Wrist tassels.
Apparently the evening entertainment had a dress code and nobody bothered to tell the rest of us. 🤣
I have absolutely NO idea where the idea came from, but there he was in his handmade toilet-roll couture, dancing away and completely living his best life.
And honestly, I bloody loved watching him. 💚
So no huge adventure yesterday.
No exciting day out.
Just Roblox, snacks, dancing, a very short-lived stage career and the debut of Theo's toilet-roll fashion collection.
Pretty successful holiday day if you ask me. 😂💚
