Day 2 at Nana and Grandads

 A wee bit late getting this post up and running but it has been a big week and we were quite knackered when the boys left last week :) A good knackered.

When the boys woke on Mothers Day we brought them into bed with us for our usual snuggle and to keep them warm. Beau was between Nixon and Grandad and I was beside Nixon. We jumped out of bed to look at the frost and got back in with Nixon next to Grandad and Beau next to me.

After about a minute Beau yells. "No! Grandad!" then proceeded to climb over Nixon and push in between Nixon and Grandad! Certainly a Grandad's boy. He is at the window every time he leaves the house calling out, "Grandad". I know my place as Nana!
Checking out the frost. 

PJ Chook feed.

"Grandad, don't leave us behind!"

A mosey around the Oxford Market early on Sunday morning. 

A wee bit of action at the park before watching the big boys on the skateboards and scooters. 


Well it seems that actually there is no mail on Sundays after all.

Bikies. 

"Do you know what I think about this photo posing thing Nana?"
 Hayden and Nikki-Leigh sent some new tee shirts that would have been cool to get some brotherly photos in. Do you think I could get those boys still enough for some cools snaps? No!

A big day at Nana and Grandad's

 We had a whole herd of cows arrive this morning in our paddock. That was a pretty cool surprise to wake up to. We watched the farmer on his motorbike put the electric fence around and the cows (or cowels as Beau calls them) mosey on in and fill up the whole paddock. We reckon about 400 were out there. Quite impressive.

We had to have breakfast and wait patiently for Grandad to come back from walking the hounds so we could go out for a closer look.  Beau was determined to climb up and to have a closer look. It was a wee mission to keep him from grabbing the electric fence. 
An intense discussion about farming or fencing maybe?
.
The mailman arrived for a parcel for grandad but Nixon had the honours of opening it. Gumboots! Brand new gumboots nearly the same as the flash ones Taua bought for Nixon. They don't fit Nixon quite so well though

We went exploring around the section, watched the traffic on the busy road (didn't see any trucks or motorbikes though... major fail). Nixon agreed to sit with Beau after a close inspection to ensure that there were no bugs.
  
Anyone seen Nixon?
 On a mission to go and feed the chooks but where is Grandad?Beau is the gateman. Nana is no where near as cool as Grandad didn't you know?!
Here chook, chook, chook. Only two eggs. No Nixon we don't feed the eggs to the chooks! 
"So tell me again Nana why I can't have every toy that Nixon has?"
 Every time I took a photo Nixon got his wee tablet out too and took one as well! So cute!
 Bedtime story with Grandad. It has been a big day :)
