As we celebrated daddy's birthday with lollies and very yummy cake and lots of presents, it took the 2 boys quite awhile to go to sleep last night. Hence why I'm writing this the next day. Again I chose sleep over the computer.
Hooray for sunshine. The rain has stopped. Our grass is about 1 metre high but I think the lawn mower man is coming today to return our jungle of a garden back into a suburbia yard. A very sick daddy went off to work. No stopping the boss. At least he looked a little better than yesterday, which is a promising sign.
The 2 boys and I spent the morning at home as we had a tradie coming over to do some work. So we attempted to clean the boys' toy room (which is where the work was getting done). I thought I should be responsible and move toys back into a some what orderly fashion so the workman doesn't trip on Spider Man, or some equally large and noisy toy. Attempting to clean a toy room with 2 boys in there as well took a lot longer than I was hoping. As 1 toy went into the toy box 2 came out. But I did it.
The electrician arrived and was bombarded with the 2 boys. I managed to eventually get Bailey away from his tool box but Brandon parked himself up on the lounge and proceeded to tell the man about food scraps and worms and soil and very big veggies that go all the way up to the sky. Then he jumped like a frog all over the toy room and it was at that stage that I thought I should intercept. The electrician just smiled.
Now that we are tradie free the 2 boys raced back into their toy room and sat quietly watching their new TV. I couldn't believe how quietly they just sat and I don't think it would have mattered what was on TV. It was just new. Brandon couldn't believe that all his favourite cartoons were also on this TV.
Eventually we ventured off to the shops to buy a delicious Birthday cake for our little birthday party. We all decided on a Boston Mud cake. Now all I had to do was to make sure that I got it home without anyone, including myself, causing it any injury. It did survive the car trip. Every 2 minutes on the journey home Brandon wanted me to show him the cake. He didn't quite understand my defiant no I am not able to.
Once home we played and hopped and jumped like frogs. Bailey loves imitating Brandon. Sometimes it's a great thing and sometimes it's not such a favourable thing. Bailey loves being a frog as well. Then I remembered that we needed some lollies for our little party so the 2 boys and I jumped in the car to stock up on sugar.
Daddy had a great afternoon with presents and lollies and cake. As you know the boys did too so much so that they just didn't want to go to bed. Another year gone and another birthday over. That means that Christmas is just around the corner!
