Bliss...?

Is there anything more blissful than sitting out in your not so sunny garden watching your mad child play?

The garden was lovely, blue skies, sunshine...that was until we decided it would be a good day for sitting out!  All of a sudden it's overcast and, when the breeze picks up, a lil chilly too. But it's not dampening Brandon's spirits.

He is enjoying being out in the fresh air, playing with his various bikes that he has, every now and again stopping to go down his slide or, if some unwitting wildlife flies or crawls into his line of vision, terrorizing it until it either moves on or dies from fright!! So far a worm has been poked, prodded and screamed at, a butterfly has been chased and a ladybird has been followed...that was until it decided to fly away, which resulted in Brandon taking to his heels, turning round and giving the offending bug (or rather blank spot of sky) the filthiest look I have seen on him to date (and one I would have been proud to call my own).

The peace, other than the odd shout from Brandon, has now been shattered by some pneumatic drill that my neighbors have started up...time to retreat indoors now me thinks for some lunch and, no doubt, if Brandon has his way, Finding Nemo, followed by Toy Stories 1, 2 and 3!

The films I can cope with, it's the lunch that makes me jealous. When Brandon hasn't had a day at nursery he has a "snack plate" for lunch which usually comprises: a few chocolate buttons, a banana and/or a satsuma, wotsits/quavers, cheese and a small yogurt...lucky him! I usually sit watching, green eyed as I "enjoy" my Slim-Fast Shake or Bar but today, when we're all run out of milk and shake powder, I'll be quite happy as I sit and eat my Chicken Super Noodles!! :-)

Looking forward to, hopefully, a quiet afternoon with the boy. He's at nursery all day tomorrow, over to the neighbor's house tomorrow after nursery for dinner and a play-date for Brandon and her little boy, my parents are up on Thursday with my niece and then Friday Brandon's at nursery in the afternoon so I'm getting my hair colored and Matt's gonna pick the boy up from nursery. Busy mummy me! 

That is all in the Mummy's mind at the moment so  T.T.F.N
