Precious Moments

Queen's Birthday weekend  - and we had a visit from Simon, Jackie and Theo. Just meant for relaxing. We enjoyed taking over the daily responsibilities from Jackie and Simon - and I think they enjoyed that too!
Duncan was in charge of breakfast and by the time I got up Theo had had several pieces of toast. He wrinkled his nose up at one and said "Too much Marmite" I was in charge of baths in the evening and had to deal with a poo at one stage. Theo came to inpsect - he crinkled his nose and said "Too much Marmite!"

 He really loved his bubbles but unfortunately a nice relaxing bath did not guarantee that he would have an early night - especially on Friday night as he had slept for quite a bit of the journey down.

 The weather was very wet over the weekend and in the excitement to go out side in his gumboots he announced that he was going to "put on his gumpoos and jump in the cuddles" But he also used both gumboots and puddles correctly as well.

 He really pulled his weight in the housework stakes. And Camille was very impressed when we went for coffee that he put all the toys away when I announced that it was time to go. Same thing with the toys when we went out for brunch the next day.

 Theo did enjoy the piano and often played with a very delicate touch. "Grandma, you stand there and crap" he instructed. Needless to say I clapped.

 At school we had had a Flea Market Day and I bought some home made playdough which kept him occupied.

 The hens were also a great hit and had breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner while Theo was here. I was disapppointed that they hadn't laid an egg. It should be in the next week or two that they start laying.

 We have a little run for them now, and they have occasionally got out but always want to go in at night.

 Simon and Jackie got to go out for a short while while Theo and I hung out together. What enjoyable company he was too!

He looked such a Theo in his handknit sweaters and vests!
