Go. Go. Go.

I didn't take any photos of the 2 boys today as neither of them stayed still long enough for me to take a picture. They were just a big blur on the camera screen. Our day started very early this morning as daddy left for work at 5 am. The things you do with your own businesses and when it's only a week until Christmas. I was optimistic that daddy would be home by 10am because I was working very soon after that. The 2 boys and I went outside and jumped for ages on the trampoline. Then I swung Bailey on the swings while Brandon stomped around. By 8am it was way too hot to be outside any longer so we headed back inside to rehydrate and cool down a bit. The boys and I played with toys, had breakfast and then did some art and craft. We drew around our hands and then coloured them in. Then we got some coins, placed the drawing paper over them and then rubbed them with crayons. Before we knew it, the boys had their very own treasure. Brandon still has the coins by the side of his bed.

Daddy arrived home right on 10am and then off I went to work. I didn't have a very big work day planned which was quite nice. I'll make up for it this coming week. While I worked I think the 2 boys and daddy watched some TV and played with some toys and jumped all over daddy. Once I finished work the 2 boys and I went up to the local bakery to buy some late lunch. We hadn't gone food shopping yet, so our food situation was not looking good at home. Fully stocked from the bakery, we headed home to fill our bellies. Mission accomplished. Once refuelled all 4 of us went into the supermarket to buy our food for the week. And did we spend big.. The food better last us all week.

We didn't get home until nearly 4pm. I had had plans to go out and actually buy some clothes for myself this afternoon, but it just didn't happen. I think I need a personal shopper or at least a baby sitter. The perils of not having any family living anywhere near us. The boys were crazy. They were running around and squealling and wrestling and blowing raspberries on each other and just being the most silliest kids ever. So I started preparing dinner early. It was so very hot that I just gave the kids a huge platter each of some very yummy food. Bailey's ended up on the floor within the first 2 minutes. Brandon stuck it out by eating his. I am remaining optimistic that one day Bailey will stop throwing his food around and actually get it all into his mouth.

Once fed and bathed and all nice and clean, Brandon decided that he wanted to be a ghost using his bath towel over his head. He thought it was hysterical and it was pretty funny. The boys eventually put their heads on their pillows, and asleep they are. Hooray!. Now daddy and I can celebrate our 11th year wedding anniversary today. Congratulations to us!!!
