We are also going to grow an orchard and a very big veggie garden for the 2 boys, and why not a vineyard just for me as well. The amount of yoghurt that little Bailey consumes is phenomenal. I'm surprised that he hasn't turned into a tub of yoghurt. Brandon loved cheese when he was Bailey's age, but wow, bring on that cow. The sooner the better.
What a beautiful day. The 2 boys and I were drawing and doing jigsaw puzzles by 6am this morning. I just knew we would be ready to start the day before anything would be open. So we played and drew and read and ran around, had breakfast and then went out. Had to pick up some work supplies first up and then off to the tip we went. Told you we would get back to that tip today. The que was only 4 trucks so I thought that was a bearable time frame with 2 boys in the car. Something fascinating about that tip. Maybe it's that it's always different every time you go, maybe it's that it's fascinating to see what people throw out, who knows but Brandon was gobsmacked by our adventure..
Assessed my energy levels to establish how good my coping skills would be taking 2 boys into the shopping centre without a stroller. Could I do it? Why not. I didn't know if I would encounter any other challenges along the day so why not just go for it. I lasted 15minutes without a stroller and then I got a trolley. Maybe I was tired. Did all our chores and then went to BIG W where I laybyed $171.00 of children's books. You name it, we got it. Guilt ridden about the cost I worked out how much I'd need to work to pay it off and then realised that it was obtainable. Brandon and Bailey chose the books so how can I resist.
Home we came and I had 2 boys asleep. YAHOO!!!!!!!
I don't think I have achieved so much in years as I did today in the almost 2 hours the boys slept. I made phone calls, checked emails, did marketing for my business. Wow I actually managed to spend some time working on my business.
The afternoon was spent playing out in the backyard with me and then when I went to work, playing with daddy. All the boys care about is that someone is pushing them on the swings. Pushing them so their feet are touching the sky.
After another tub of yoghurt bailey finally went off to sleep tonight. Our boys are funny. Bailey needs about 1 kg of yoghurt to go to sleep and Brandon needs a bright green light to sleep. Each with their own personalities. But tomorrow I will get a cow.
