We are lucky enough to live in something of a paradise for kids. There are 2 playgrounds, a tennis court, a football pitch, roads quiet enough (most of the time) for them to scoot and cycle to their heart's content. There are no fences, so no impediments for explorers and adventurers. I never imagined when I moved to Moscow that I would be able to open the back door and just set my sons loose, but there it is, I can.
Today, the weather is glorious; not too hot (around 22degC), almost cloudless skies, a light breeze. School is out for the next 9 weeks or so.
I have arranged playdates for both boys.
The barometer, you might say, is set fair for a day of outside fun.
And yet where do they all want to be?
Inside.
Give me strength...
(I am now going upstairs with my 'nasty mummy' head on to bodily throw all four of them out of doors whether they like it or not...)
