Our holidays have begun. I can't believe that finally this year is coming to an end. Hooray!! Daddy and I are so very excited. So are the boys. Brandon in particular is looking forward to going on holiday. Just before he went to sleep tonight he asked me if there would be crabs at the beach when we go on holidays. It was a bit unexpected because we hadn't been talking about crabs.
The 2 boys and I went and did some Christmas food shopping this morning. It was relatively pain free because we went to a brand new supermarket that was quiet, cool and the trolleys worked. The biggest commotion was little Bailey who did not want to get into the trolley in any way shape or form. He just wanted to stay in my arms. I knew he was tired and when he gets tired he just won't let go of me. Eventually he sat in the trolley. I used food as an incentive. It seemed to work.
Brandon managed to talk the whole shopping trip. Even when I eventually said that I would like 1 minute of quietness because I like quietness Brandon confirmed to me that he likes talking so he will keep talking. And so he did. Who knows when I'll ever get quietness or if I will ever get quietness again. We all survived the shopping so then we ventured home. Neither boy slept again today so it was full on all afternoon. We went outside to jump on the trampoline which I would have thought would tire them out, but no, they just kept jumping and so I joined them. And together we all jumped. We had lunch outside which was nice before we then ventured out the front to check the letterbox. Outside we were greeted by one of our neighbours who invited us over to have a look at her Christmas tree and lights and all of their miniature displays. While a very lovely gesture of kindness, it was one of the hardest things I did all day today. Bailey 's real name is destruction. Actually his true name is super destruction torpedo so imagine the potential chaos I was attempting to deflect.
Once we got home daddy arrived home soon after so then we all jumped on the trampoline. We just spent the day jumping on the trampoline. I went to work for the last time for 2010 while daddy jumped on the trampoline with the boys and somehow managed to feed them some dinner between jumps. Once I had finished work I was back jumping on that trampoline. The 2 boys pretty much bounced from the trampoline to the bath then to bed. I am sure that if it's not raining tomorrow we'll be back jumping.
