Today we spent the morning in our PJs. Well not Mick. Mick did dogs and outside bloke stuff but the boys and I didn't get out of our PJs until after Beau's sleep. Then it was all go.
We all took Sam out and gave him a gallop. Nixon was fascinated by the lure. Lure being a new word he learned at Addington on Tuesday. He was a bit disappointed when the battery was flat and it wouldn't work. Sam "ran fast" though so Nixon got some entertainment. Beau was just happy with the kisses Sam gave him. What a placid wee man Beau is.
After that we jumped in "Grandad's truck" to go and get an ice cream with a wee detour to look under the "big bridge". A nice day out had by all. We had two very tired boys at the end of the day.
I have come to the conclusion that grandparents look old because grandparenting is hard work! I have achieved nothing that I needed to get done these school holidays. I have pottered on with a wee bit of work when I can but I will be chasing my tail next week be ready for the new term. But it doesn't matter. All the wee chats, cuddles, wiping noses and laughing is worth it.
Have a look at our day if you like.
