Day 2 of having the boys is coming to an end, and what a busy day it's been! William woke us (James and I) up at 8 this morning, I wasn't too unhappy as I woke up with James's arms wrapped around my neck cuddling me. One happy daddy. We bathed and dressed, and ate breakfast. James spent a while in the tub, playing with his ducks and abubbles, having a great time with water play. We then all sat and watched cartoons. 11 quickly came round and James started dozing off next to me. And then with James asleep, William went shopping with grandad. Although I should have enjoyed the rest, I decide to set up an afternoon of fun. James, whilst here often plays with his cars, but we sadly don't have a fun environment for him to play with. So, with paint, flour, and water I made a paste. Went through the recycling and found some old boxes and newspaper. When William arrived home, we dressed him in an old shirt and our paper mache/box city was almost ready to start being made. I tool photos so will upload a separate blog of this craft. Whilst this was being undertaken, William wanted the Wizard of Oz on. So we made and sung along. Once completed, William went and played whilst James and I played shop. In this game, James loads up his trolly, says bye shuts the door, and then reopen's the door with a massive hello. He then proceeds to take everything out of the trolly. This goes on for a while. After an hour of play with James, my attention was back on William where we made cheesey bread rolls. Again photos were taken and a second blog will be posted for this. Time for a stop, we sat altogether and watched watership down. As quickly as that finished William and I started dinner, consisting of a cornbeef hash. Boys fed, we're now just chilling before they're back to their mum. So, yes fun but busy day! Again filled with fun..even if at time's it was so busy that my patience was close to being broken. Luckily a deep breath and all was fun!
