What Good Weather













As my previous posts have stated, thank goodness! We finally are getting a few good days... And today must have been the best of them. We had such a lovely day with the boys - both were just angelic and neither cried... Bliss... We spent the morning at Ardgillian Castle and the playground there, time flew and Ben just loved the slides, but was even more taken with the sailing boats on the sea - he's taking more and more after his grandfather! He shouts "Boat!", "Boat!" at me all the time. Then we got home to get ready for John and Nicola coming over for a Braai. The weather held up and we got to eat outside. A real treat! :)

Unfortunately, Robin hasn't been with us this weekend, he is off competing in a Cisco Fitness/Team building Challenge with his company, which has meant night runs in the rain, canoeing in the dark, I believe he had to swim 400mtrs today - he's going to come back shattered.

Here are my beautiful boys :)...

Indian Summers



Finally! We seem to be having a reprieve from the wet weather and the last two weeks have been dry and bright... In that time the boys have been dragged from pillar to post outside... Every playground in a 50 mile radius has been visited (I can say that honestly cause we were up North in Newry and took him to a playground there) and every beach north of the liffy has seen some time too. Robin took Thursday and Friday off last week and we had a wonderful long weekend together... This week however, he is off on some corporate teambuilding challenge and will be away from Thursday to Sunday - I'm going to have my own teambuilding challenge on my hands at home with the two boys :)
