Hanging out
Mana and I took the air mattress (from camping) and lay it down under the trees where the 3 of us lay on it complete with pillows,blankets,books and snacks and proceeded to "hang out"
Mana tried her hand at pretend fishing and after a feed of Snapper,Kina (Sea egg) and Kutai (mussel) she disappeared and with a light wisp of wind and the sunlight dancing through the leaves it was hard for K and I not to drift off.
Only about 10 minutes passed and the parental instinct took over and brought us both out of our slumber.......its too quiet......Where is Mana?
We could here noises which didn't register as normal "Mana noises" (watching TV,drawing,reading,doll playing etc)
K said "Go and check on YOUR daughter" I said "Nar you go".........no sooner had those words left my mouth that we both leaped to our feet as the sound blender firing up broke the silent that we had previously been lapping up.
Thoughts of whatever Mana had in the blender were now dripping off the ceiling and walls we dashed inside to find the kitchen spotless (Phew) Mana standing on a chair smiling with and assortment of fruit in the blender (apple,banana,blueberries and peach) and 3 cups."I'm making Mummy and Daddy a mixed juice"
Amazingly she had cut all the fruit removed the seed AND cleaned up.
We each took our freshly made mixed juice and returned to our cozy bed under the trees and once again "Hung out"
