Off We Go Again.

There just wasn't enough hours in the day yesterday to fit in writing in here . The option last night at midnight was write here or go to bed, and I'm sorry to say bed won. So here I am today writing about our adventures from yesterday. It was still raining yesterday but occasionally it stopped and we saw what may have even been blue sky. But then the rain returned, Oh well. We had plenty of indoor activities planned but just not at home.

The 2 boys and I jumped in the car and went into the shops. Seeming as our food shopping was done 4 days ago it meant it was time to stock up. Food just doesn't seem to last long in our house. With 2 growing boys that do so much, as a result they are always eating. We raced around the shops doing all our chores.Dashing here there and everywhere.  By now the stroller was so full off food and mail and more food, and 2 boys, that we slowly headed back to the car to unload and head home. Once home we dropped off the groceries and literally threw all the bags of cold things into the fridge. Off we went again.

We had been invited to go and play with some of the boys' friends meeting up at Monkey Business Play Centre at 10:30am. Of course it was way past 10:30 am when we got there. We made a dash for the entrance as it started raining again. We were met be our friends. We also met some new friends and also a friend I hadn't seen for nearly 3 years. The world just aligned. The 2 boys and I had a great time. It's a hard balance with 2 kids but I just think the more we do things the better it will become. So Brandon decided he wanted to go to the toilet to do a poo. Of course it is the one time that I didn't bring a stroller for Bailey. So here the 2 boys and I are in the public toilet, me holding Brandon so he doesn't fall down the big adult toilet, while fending off Bailey because he loves toilets. Meanwhile both boys are squealing and yelling and having a great time. By the end of our experience I am near deaf and the boys have grossed me out (again!). I am sure they try and do something completely gross each day just so they get a reaction from me.

The kids all played for hours together. Bailey just wanted to play with the big boys, so in the end I just let him. He had a great time.And he didn't get squashed. By now I was convinced that both boys were so incredibly tired that we should all head home so that they could have a sleep. Do you think that's how it played out? No. Correct. So we baked. We baked individual milk chocolate cakes- or so the recipe says. The boys love cooking. They are truly fascinated. They even iced them and put some sporting cake decorations on the top. Of course most of them were eaten straight away, and the evening was spent fending Brandon off from the remainder of the cakes so that he would still eat his dinner.

Dinner came and went and not surprisingly, the boys didn't eat much. It's amazing though that no matter how full they are they would still always have room for ice cream. Luckily daddy only gave them some fruit and yoghurt.

So off we go again, daddy and I, to deal with all our paperwork that we just can't address with 2 boys running around. That's why it was midnight before I got to bed.
