Observations of us
Ben was very excited about Fathers Day this year. Ben and I talked about what we should do for Daddy and it included:
– A sleep in
– Presents
– Breakfast in bed – pancakes, fruit, coffee and juice
– Reading motorbike magazines
– Doing pretty much boy stuff all day long!
Poor Andrew I don’t think there was much of a sleep in. Ben was so excited he had to speed up the days events (especially the present opening!)
Andrew has long insisted that he does not snore….. but every night he falls asleep on the couch and makes noises that sound a lot like snoring. Bonnie doesn’t seem to mind. Sorry honey…love you xo. I think I might get into trouble for this one!!
Ben can not get enough of his Dad at the moment. He follows him around and they do lots of cool things together. Here he is helping change the tyre on the car. …. because Dad needed Ben’s muscles.
Dad snapped this one of Andrew and Ben doing wheelies on the motorbike. Apparently there were squeals of delight from Ben. Mmmmmm………just wondering where the helmets are? Yes, yes I am the fun police!!
Our move to the outskirts of Ipswich has brought back memories for Andrew of his country roots. Just before his birthday he mentioned to me that he had always wanted a stock whip. I purchased one for him for his birthday. When at the Ipswich Town and Country Centre, the sales attendant asked me what we intended to use the stock whip for. ‘Oh…. oh…… well we won’t be riding with it’ was my response while in my head picturing Andrew riding swinging his whip shouting ‘Ride like the wind Bulls Eye’. I am sure I must have had a huge smirk on my face. The sales attendant took a number of whips off the hooks, swung them strangely up the shop aisle before saying, ‘Yep this is the one, this will be great to crack around the horses and cattle but not to ride with’. So I nodded agreeing but thinking ‘yep sure thing, that’s exactly what we need for all the horses and cattle on our one acre’. I didn’t dare inform the sales attendant that we wanted it just to crack in the yard for fun and hang on the wall and look pretty!!
Andrew got a chance to break in the whip today…. I had to laugh. I walked out the back and there is Andrew sitting on the saw horse cracking the whip – hilarious!! He mentioned tonight that he has a sore shoulder – even more hilarious!!! Love you honey xoxo
Today Ben and I visited the model trains at Grandchester near Ipswich.
What a great little outing for the kids (and big kids).
Here is a little movie of Ben getting right into the spirit, he really loved the whole experience.
