90. Rolling, rolling, rolling! (We went to Dyffryn Gardens for the National Trust Easter Egg Trail and had an absolutely marvellous time exploring the recently reopened Dyffryn House. However, the best bit of the day is that The Boy got to cross off #2 of the 50 Things: Roll down a really big hill – really big is subjective when you're only three!)
91. A-maze-ing! (Despite yesterday's beautiful weather and the hint that Spring was on its way, today was blindingly cold and dreary! We spent much of it inside chilling out after our hectic previous week and weekend, with Nanny and Grandad coming to dinner. I'd bought The Boy some new wipe-clean books from Usborne; this is a maze book and he is completely devoted to it.)
92. Spiderman (Having popped up to the local butcher we went for a walk in the main park in our town, a park which has many different 'zones' to it which provide ample play opportunities. We discovered yet another tree that needed to be climbed, although he decided to jump out of this one, rather than climb down. As it was only a foot drop, I let him off.)
93. Hello down there! (Another day, another park! Swing time took on a different angle today.)
94. Nearly there (The Boy is obsessed lately with trying to make different colours and I decided to let him loose with a colour mixing experiment. My sister would be pleased to know he just wanted to make brown – her favourite (boring!) colour – and he very almost managed it.)
95. Cookie dough (Today was dominated by The Boy having his preschool MMR booster in the afternoon, and it appears I may have been quite anxious about it as I was a grumpy mummy most of the day. I managed to summon up the inclination to make cookies with The Boy, but even that was staight from a packet and add two tablespoons of water; how lazy! Turns out that The Boy was fine with his booster, didn't even notice the injection.)
96. Where's the hole? (We returned to Dyffryn Gardens today, as I hadn't had long enough to explore the inside of the house, and get the photos I was after – I still didn't manage it today as The Boy wanted to explore the gardens. The garden rooms are plenty and full of little holes and pathways leading through into a different 'room'. Only thing was, there wasn't a hole in the hedge here, despite The Boy trying his hardest to push through. Look closely and his head had half disappeared inside. It reminded me of Tom in Tom's Midnight Garden.)

Great photos (as always!) Looks like a busy but very fun week has been had!
it looks like the boy has had a busy week . i love the rolling down the hill and him pushing against the hedge but my favourite is him in the 'hello down there' close up shot – he just looks very happy which makes me smile . x
The rolling on the grass shot is fantastic. Your delightful boy seems to be growing in every way so quickly
As always I love your photos 😉
I love the tree climbing one best – I must find one near us like that so my two can have a climb!
Love the rolling shot. Looks like a rally great week. I like the lovely mix of colours in your collection
Lovely pictures.
Love him climbing the tree, I would like to have a go on that one!
Oooh the kids would love to climb that tree!
Great photos. Looks like a very busy, but fab week for you all.
Love that smile on the swing! Makes me want to run down to the local park and have a go!
My kids love roling doen steep hills, there favourite was at Linlithgow Palace which had a loch at the bottom, but none of them ever got wet. My kids would not draw on books, even the annuals and things that had puzzles and pictures in, strange children!! Love the happy face in the b&w pic
The concentration on his face whilst he does the mazes made me smile. The b&w photo is just beautiful!!
Absolutely adore the photo on the swing- what a gorgeous smile. And the roll down the hill is amazing for stimulating such wonderful memories- definitely something we need to try with ours!
I love the really smiley one and glad the boy barely noticed hs booster x
So glad that the boys MMR went without incident.
Love your swing photo so much. His smile is angelic!
love the rolling down the hill and that tree looks ace!
I love the tree climbing picture 🙂 xx
That tree is amazing! We ticked off something on the Small's 50 Things list today too. They have been discovering everything that lives in Caius's Mum's pond – luckily it means we can make it an ongoing one and see what is there all the way through the year!
So many good photo's! Love the black and white portrait and him trying to push through the hedge. I feel like rolling down a sunny hill now x
So lovely to see The Boy enjoying outdoor play as usual. On the second row he seems to go from looking very young in the left shot to very grown up in the middle one. I think my favourite shot is the swing, his smile is beautiful.
love the tree photo. great to see them outdoor!
What a fabulous tree to be able to explore and climb. Clearly been a good outdoor play week for you.
ronnie was only showing me his rolling skills the other day. he laid dead straight and rolled over on his side over and over again. i asked what type of roll is that and he responded "a sausage roll mummy" he he he he
Lovely photos. I love the one of The Boy rolling down the hill.
Is he trying to push that hedge over? Love the picture of him rolling down a "giant" hill!
It's great to see outdoor play making a come back now the weather's cheering up
love the tree climbing and hill rolling
Your photos are just awesome. Looks like so much fun and you captured it so well.
Have a great Sunday,

Lovely pictures of an action packed week. I'm glad The Boy was ok with his booster, it's part of the job description as a Mummy to worry.
I love the pics of the boy rolling down the hill and trying to walk through the hedge 🙂 x
Some really fab piccies… looks like boy had fun! Rolling down the hill looks amazing… I cant wait to do this with Noah 🙂 x
Love the concentration in no. 91!
Oh I remember how much fun hill rolling was as a child! I must get H to do this soon, he is such a daredevil already.
The Boy is absolutely adorable as always! Great photos, looks like a super fun week =)
Isn't it silly that we worry about jabs and everything goes ok anyway..
I've always resisted visiting Dyffryn gardens as it was developed by the coal barons. Think it's time I did visit though, as history shouldn't be forgotten, we should learn from it.
I love the rolling photo! Looks like it was a pretty great week!
I really need to have a look at these 50 things to do.
Does it also allow parents to roll down a hill too?
Beautiful photos of that lovely young man
Love the rolling down the hill photo – such a fun thing to do. There is a big hill near us at Marwell which the kids can never resist rolling down whenever we visit! He looks so happy in the black & white photo – lovely smile!
Love that swing shot and hasn't the boy been busy this week? Need to check out the 50 things to do – or maybe not, I'm struggling to keep up with what I've got at the moment 🙂
Your pictures are always fab, love the way you have captured the rolling one!
Great photos again, I love the concentration on his face doing the maze puzzle. Leo would love that too, he's got a thing about them at the moment!
Love the photo of him rolling down the hill 🙂
Isn't it nice to be able to venture out now that the weather is a teeny tiny bit better!
He is so adorable. He seems to get so involved in all his adventures!
Thanks for linking up!
I think my favourite photos this week are the swing photo its such a great angle and rolling down the hill looks like so much fun.
