Looking after Katie - Jane

Shopping, Picnics and Feeding Ducks,

I have spent the entire day from 9.30am to 4pm with my Mum and my niece KJ. I first woke up to her playing with some outdated toys from when her brother Robert was born in 2007. Mum and KJ were playing bat and ball in the living room for a while and Katie kept asking Mum to read her a Peppa pig book.

I went to get dressed an do my make - up, I did KJ's hair and used a little hairspray so she felt grown up, I then put her make - up on just some purple eyeshadow, pink blusher and some pink lipstick. we both went to the toilet and headed out to the shops. We went to the 99p store and bought some toys to play with at the park, some sun cream and some sweets. I spent £13 and we then walked back home in the blazing sun.

I took Katie to the shops to give Mum a chance to get ready and make up and picnic. It took us roughly an hour and a half to walk to the shop and back. We came inside to put on sun cream and have a little rest, we headed over to the park between 12pm and 1pm. We sat on a flat section of grass and laid out all the food and toys.

We had ham sandwiches, roysters crisps, salad, an apple, a angel cake and some sweets. Me and Katie then took the picnic basket and the little toys back to the flat so she could go to the toilet. We headed back to the park and spent time playing with bubbles, skipping ropes and a ball. 

Once we finished playing we packed all the toys up and headed off to go and feed the ducks. We only had the left overs from our picnic but I think KJ enjoyed it. As we didn't have to be back at Sue and Chris's until 4pm ish we went into the playground and played on the swings, slides, climbing frames and roundabouts.

We headed back to the flat to collect all KJ's clothes and have a rest then we took Katie home. We were all tired, and sun kissed. When we arrived at Sue and Chris' the boy were full of beans talking about football etc, lucy was chilling in the living room watching the music chanel.

I had a very lovely spontaneous day with my little niece and I wish I could do it with all of my nieces and nephews.
