Our First Saturday

We returned from Munchie's house with the knowledge that Daddie, Mommie and Munchie would all be arriving for a visit at our house the next day.  Mommie and Daddie were bringing some information I needed, and Munchie wanted to get re-acquainted with the toys at our house - the ones he hadn't seen for three months.  When he arrived he hurried into the parlour - that's where his toys live at our house - and contemplated which toy to play with first.

He checked them all out thoroughly and then realized he hadn't had a ride on Pooh yet, so he grabbed the stuffed Pooh and went for a ride.  He did this by himself - we did not help.  Too cute!

Then he made a tour of the house with that noisy popcorn-maker that Auntie Denise had sent over for him....I think I should send him over to her house with it!  *smile*

After all this activity, he needed a rest and decided to climb into a chair and join in the general conversation.   He wasn't quite tall enough to do this at Christmas time, and was quite proud of himself!

Shortly after supper, our little Munchie began to exhibit signs of being worn out from all this activity and Mommie whisked him upstairs to get ready for bed.  He reappeared shortly clad in his pyjamas, to give us all a goodnight hug and kiss.

The new day dawned bright and early.  Munchie woke up about the same time I did, and then he went in to wake up Poppa.  We snuck downstairs and let Mommie and Daddie have a sleep-in.  When they got up we all went out for breakfast.  I forgot to take my camera with me - rats! 

After an afternoon nap, Poppa put Munchie's jacket on and the two of them headed outside to do some work out there.  The chosen project was to clean the cover on the hot tub.  Oops!  Where is Munchie - I know he went outside with Poppa.

Oh I see him!  He must have been cleaning at the back of the hot tub!  So, Poppa brushed and Munchie wiped.

Then Munchie brushed and Poppa wiped.

And eventually they turned that dull, weathered leather surface into a lovely shining hot tub cover again!  Didn't they do a great job?

Next thing we knew supper was finished, and Mommie, Daddie and Munchie were in the car heading for home.

Knitting?  Of course I am.  Here is the latest piece of blue lace. 

It is called English Lace and doesn't really show up to its best in this photo, but it is quite pretty.  My knitting time is not so plentiful at home - there are other things I need to do - but I have managed to finish Auntie Denise's socks.  They look like this.

And...when Squeegie determined that I was writing a blog post, he insisted that it was about time he got a new picture on the blog.....so I quickly snapped this one, while he was sitting with Poppa and Taffy watching TV.

And now - for the picture of the day along with Auntie Colleen's commentary regarding this shot taken by Uncle Shaun.
