And This And This And Just This.

Brandon says this over and over again throughout the whole day. He just keeps going and going. He is relentless in everything that he does. I'm sure that when he is older he'll be a lawyer. He goes and goes until sometimes he just wears you down. It is admirable that he has so much enthusiasm and I love witnessing his excitement. At the moment Brandon likes to start art and craft activities with you just as we are all about to walk out the door for the day's adventures. He also likes to start art and craft activities as you're about to help Bailey go to the toilet, when you're about to serve up breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. But his most favourite time to start art and craft activities is when you are trying to get him into bed. In some part I think he is trying to assert his jurisdiction.

To be fair today I can't really say 'The 2 boys and I' because I worked all day, and I mean all day. So rightly my blog should be called 'The adventures of the 2 boys and their daddy'. As I worked and worked and worked I just watched the whole day slide away. The 2 boys and their daddy apparently had a great day. They didn't leave the house until 12pm to go off on their adventures. It took them 3 hours to get ready to leave the house. Now I thought that was hysterically funny, although the humour appeared to be lost on the others.

Firstly the boys and daddy went to Officeworks to get a new cartridge for the printer. Upon Brandon and Bailey's arrival home they also had lots of little things like rulers and notebooks and clips. All sorts of bits and pieces. After Officeworks, they went and had lunch at McDonald's, or Old McDonald's as Brandon calls it. My husband reported they all ate outside near the playground. Meanwhile back at home I had a perfectly quiet house to work from. It was bliss. Once I finished work it wasn't long before my 3 men returned home. I scooped up the little ones in one giant hug while engulfing my husband as well. The late afternoon was spent with my husband on the phone  while I was outside with the 2 boys. We ran around and made up games. It was great fun.

I cooked up dinner as Brandon started doing his art and craft. It is so absolutely predictable it's almost funny. But he did manage to eat his dinner eventually although his art and craft obsession continued on until 30 seconds before he jumped into bed. Bailey uttered the word food several times in his ploy to get up and out of his bed, but before he knew it he was sleeping soundly. I know that tomorrow as I serve up breakfast to the boys, they will be doing art and craft. They were at 6:30am this morning outside on the deck and I don't imagine tomorrow will be any different.
