Sleepover and birthdays

Nothing beats a Will sleepover, he is so full of energy and fun, here loving a new reading book. 
Making home made pizza with Grancha, licking the plastic spatula and feeling pleased with himself. 
Sunday the house looked like a toy shop, we watched Bob the builder Christmas special and had loads if fun. It was wet outside so no visit to the park. 
Loving his new toy, it's a car which transforms into a T Rex, he played with it loads, he played with a neighbours son in the week and loved his transformers, he was very careful and gave them back when asked, so Nanna thought he should have one of his own. 
Monday our oldest grandson Josh turned 15, how quickly the years pass, we met up with Josh, his younger brother Sam, and eldest daughter, plus younger daughter, Will and George for lunch at local cafe along the shoreline. 
 Sadly George was fast asleep, but I love this photo with 3 of my grandsons, Will loves being with his older cousins. 
Saturday was perfect for us, Will is such a good boy, not perfect, he can choose his moments, it's been 6 months since his last sleepover, we spent time in the garden, he does love to help me, all the soft fruit was picked and loads eaten, we looked in the greenhouse and watered plants, he also helped to fill the bird feeders a job he loves doing He was brilliant at bath time and bed time, he does go to bed a bit later, so both hubby and I were tired. We had a lazy evening, knowing it would be an early start on Sunday. 

Sunday was a very lazy day which started at 6.30am, and ended with an early night, it was a dull breezy day, with a few showers.Will stayed with us all morning but wanted lunch at home, so I got cuddles with George and time with daughter and SIL. Later I did manage to start my second sock, but did not touch the baby dress. 

Monday was a lazy morning, nothing much to do, sat on internet looking at a few knitting patterns, not purchased any, but gathering ideas. Did a bit of work keeping the garden tidy. I met my daughters for lunch at a local beach cafe, because it was a birthday we all had cake, Will sat between Josh and Sam, they all interact so well together. The sun came out so we could walk along the beach, the younger boys played on a wrecked boat for a while, it was pure heaven. Peaceful evening at home together, started a new book which  is already gripping.

Woke up the the expected very wet morning, it's so dark here we have lights on, so day inside, housework to be done.

  1. What a lovely few days you've had with your grandsons. They can be hard work when they're young and wanting your attention all the time but worth it. How lovely that the cousins could all get together too.

  2. What a lovely weekend spent with your boys! Mmmm birthday cake yum yum. We love pizza and we make our own too. It's been very wet here, so nothing done in the garden. We've been busy too. Hospital visits for chest X-ray appointments, waiting for results. We're a bit fed up of shielding and want to get back out there proper. Take care and have fun. Love, Jane x

  3. The sleepovers that I remember were very full on, my younger brothers and my son were very active. Now it is the dogs and they are much quieter, ready to go to bed and actuallly sleep at the drop of a hat. So happy to leap in to top gear first thing and have a romp round the garden while I drink tea and wake up.

  5. It looks like you had a good time and I am sure seeing your grandchildren is particularly precious after the last few months.
    Licking the spatula is the most important part of cooking.
