Goodbye Summer Holidays

We all went to the local markets out on the beach today which was lovely. We saw the most amazing things washed up on the beach from the floods. The biggest thing we saw was a huge concrete pontoon washed ashore. It was just a massive piece of concrete. The boys jumped on the Nemo jumping castle with Brandon looking after Bailey every time they went up the stairs and then down the slide in the jumping castle. We walked around for awhile looking at all the stalls before we then bought some lunch. The 2 boys, daddy and I found a cool position under the shade of a great big tree and listened to some great didgeridoo music while we attempted to eat some lunch. I say attempted because the 2 boys didn't sit they just walked around and around while daddy and I tried to feed them and ourselves. Interesting times.

We headed home and were hoping the boys would both sleep but only Bailey did. Brandon just stayed incredibly cranky and angry. We are not quite sure what is happening in his little mind. Daddy and I think it may be a combination between seeing TV footage of all the floods and its destruction, knowing that he is about to go to kindergarten on his own, and continually wetting his bed at night. Somehow we will manage to work it all out with him. The afternoon was spent with Brandon and Bailey jumping on the trampoline with daddy and then myself. The 2 boys and I had a great time jumping. I am sure I would be so very skinny with all this jumping that I do if I just could stop eating Musk Sticks. Never I say.

So we jumped and jumped and I jumped with the boys until they decided they had to jump naked. Then I was out. They jumped together and laughed and laughed. They were having a great time. When they are nude the laughter level increases dramatically. Then the 2 boys got creative and decided to pour their apple juice out of their bottles down the slippery slide. It meant that being naked they would slide quicker, and yes they can both confirm that they slide MUCH quicker down the slide when apple juice is dribbling down it. Unfortunately the rest of the afternoon and evening was spent with Brandon angry and cranky and yelling and screaming and taking all his clothes off and hiding under the table so that we don't see him. I am sure he did it to gross my out but while under the table he grabbed a half eaten sausage that Bailey had chewed and spat out on the floor and ate it.  And that's how the night went. Again the 2 boys decided that they needed heaps more food before bed.

Well it's been 3 weeks since we started our holidays. It truly feels like an eternity. Hopefully 2011 will be a prosperous and health and happy year for us all. Maybe this will be the year that I retire and do our property development full time as planned. Well I say goodbye to our summer holidays. We have had fun.
