Calm down, calm down!

Will admit to feeling a tad tired after the day we've had.

The boys were clearly tired... and fighting it.  So a fair amount of crankiness (is that even a word?) and a tantrum or two.
We put the tent up in the garden, thinking we could do some calmer activities in there... but it didn't keep them occupied for long, lol.   The children went from toy to toy this morning, seeming unable to settle at anything for long and getting frustrated with it.  They finally managed to focus long enough to set up a train track on the decking.  Really well constructed and they were very pleased with themselves.

This afternoon the boys had perked up enough to go to the park, so we went to Lion's Den again (their choice) taking spades this time so they could build in the big sand pit there.
That seemed  to be enough to wear them out, so when we came home we snuggled up with a  movie (Ice Age 3).  Suitably re-energised we finished the day with a few goes at Dance Juniors (a new game for our house but definately looking to become a firm favourite).

Here's hoping we all have a good night's sleep and wake up full of energy tomorrow!
