Still Busy

     On Sunday morning, after a little play time....

.... we opened the doors on Poppa's "big, red truck" and strapped little Curtie .....

.... into the car seat.  He asked to take this bear with him - it usually stays in his crib - for some reason he took a liking to it that morning.  Then.....

.... Munchie climbed into his brand new car seat (that he had picked out himself) and he even buckled himself into it!  He had come with Poppa and I to the store on Saturday afternoon to find a car seat so Curtis could ride in Poppa's truck - but when he saw the car seats, he wanted this one for himself and agreed to let Curtis have his old one.  He liked this one - it sits up a little higher and he could see outside even better than he could in the old one.  He looks comfy.  Once we had them all buckled and strapped we headed into town for breakfast at MacDonald's.   Both little boys ate their food up nicely, so....

.... we let them loose in the playground for a long time.  It kept them busy and happy and all we had to do was watch - and occasionally rescue Curtie from some predicament he had gotten himself into and couldn't get out.  They seemed to have a good time and by the time we bundled them back into the truck they were quite willing to sit quietly on the way home.  As it turned out Mommy and Daddy followed us into the driveway.  They wanted to get home and while both little boys were tired seemed a good time for the drive, so....

... Mommy and I packed their little suitcases, put on their jackets and their sunglasses and soon we were waving goodbye to our little boys as they drove away.  See you soon boys!
     A couple of sidebars.........

.... this is our little niece - Trinity.  You'll remember her modelling her pink fuzzy hat in a previous post.  She had an unfortunate incident at a recent ballet class and broke her leg in two places below the knee.  This poor little girl is just four years old and will be on bed-rest for a whole month.  Granny is there taking good care of her and I know she'll be fine, but we feel so bad for this captivating little lady... Nanna & Poppa love you Trin!
     And.... yes I have been knitting and reading since we returned from Florida....

.... but I'll save that for another blog.
