Boys weekend
A few weeks ago Katrina had to go down to Christchurch to clear Granny's house as it has been sold, so Jack and Guy had a boys weekend at home together and did lots of fun things.
First was a trip to the pool. Guy was a bit uncertain to start with but once they were in the water he was off! He was paddling around under his own steam and loved every moment. He also enjoyed a nice shower afterward.
Then a visit to the planting site where Guy tumbled over a few times, grazed his knee and got some big bruises. He's wearing some little turquoise plastic sandals that belonged to his girlfriends Ellen and Fiona and he loves them. He often refuses to wear any other footwear and says "handles, handles" if you ask him to get his shoes.
Then it was nature appreciation at Otari Wiltons Bush, a favourite spot of ours.
The boys had a wonderful weekend. Poor Daddy was struggling with the winter virus that laid Katrina low for a few weeks, but he had to keep soldiering on. But were they happy to see Mummy when she came home? Jack was because he'd been so unwell, but as for Guy . . . . Poor Guy got woken up to go and collect Katrina, so was quite sad about that, and when Jack asked who Guy could see at the airport he said "trolley". So there you go, the first sight of Mummy for 4 days, and Guy was much more interested in her luggage trolley. . .
