I'm not sure if I'm suffering from some form of post traumatic stress disorder from the chaos of the sale or what but this week, the kids seem to be especially cranky, whiny & I'm having a hard time being patient. By 9:30 yesterday I was desperate for something to do! I phoned my dear cousin-in-law, only to get voicemail. In the vain hope that she might be around or back home soon, I left a message begging to let us come visit. Luckily for me, she phoned back later & was willing to grant my request. After lunch we headed over & had a great visit.
The girls are so taken with little BJ! They kept huddling around her, cradling her head very gently and fawning over her. One of their newest expressions is "awww that's so cute!" & that got used a few times! The girls got lots of stories read to them thanks to Shona & Shona's wonderful friend Melissa. They love to check out BJ's books whenever we go there & always bug Shona to read to them.
Today we headed off for playgroup and the kids played & played. We got home, had some lunch & then headed out for a walk. We weren't even out the door when R-guy met us. He came along & brought his old junked lawnmower for the walk. The girls thought he was hilarious when he kept crashing his trash into puddles & ditches, making big splashes and getting soaked when he had to go in after it. We played in the woods for awhile & R-guy had gone across a huge puddle & wanted them to come too but it was too deep & too wide for them to jump over. He started gathering up rocks to make a path for them to cross. Once he had enough, they were across in no time. Then they helped him add to it & then they started gathering branches & sticks to make another bridge (one apparently wasn't enough!)
