Library Exhaustion

The 2 boys and I had a slow morning this morning. We are all just a bit tired. The boys must know that it's nearly the end of the year and things are winding down.

Nanny A left this morning at 4am to catch her plane. A charter bus came and collected her to drive her to the airport. We have all had a good time with Nanny. Now we are really on the downward slide to Christmas. Daddy and I have 1 more week and 1 day to go. It's also our 11th wedding anniversary this Saturday. For the past 11 years our anniversary has always got wrapped up with Christmas. One day I am determined that we will celebrate on a tropical island somewhere. 

Eventually the boys and I ventured into the car to drive to the library. Our local library has moved to a new location. The new space is OK. Not as big an area for little kids to play and read and draw but still good. Brandon played with a big boy who must have been about 8 years old. They played on the library computers together and Brandon was in great fits of laughter listening to this big boy. Bailey just kept running between the aisles. There was one moment for about 10seconds where I didn't know where Bailey had suddenly gone. I ran straight up to the library entrance/exit and worked my way back very quickly. My heart had stopped I am sure. Then I saw him. The good little boy was just standing near a lounge in the kids section waiting for me. It was literally 10 seconds but my gosh it felt like eternity.

There isn't anywhere to eat some food any more at the library so the 2 boys and I borrowed 12 books and aBarney DVD and then went back to the car and ate some morning tea/lunch. Once we got the car moving both boys eventually fell asleep. I knew that they would. I knew that they needed to. Today it was actually Brandon that fell asleep almost straight away, while Bailey read and read his Thomas The Tank Engine library book.

The 2 boys hardly slept so by the time I had put them in bed and unpacked the car, they were both awake again. The afternoon was spent playing in the kids bedrooms and in the toy room. The boys watched the Barney DVD. Absolutely riverting. Once daddy came home I flew off to get ready for work. The boys spent the afternoon playing outside on the trampoline with a very tired and exhausted daddy. We all just have to hang in there for 1 more week..

Both boys love the library. They looked like they were having a great time. It was my turn to put Brandon to bed tonight so we read quite a few of the library books. I just know that we will be reading the rest of the collection bright and early in the morning. What a great way to start the day.
