Glorious Chaos and Thanks Barbara D.

Childcare centres were allowed to open here yesterday so we were thrilled to have these 2 precious boys spend the say with us after almost 3 months apart. Chaos reigned as they rediscovered their toys and tried to play with everything here. Aidan kept saying Nan Nan and Up, wanting lots of cuddles and Jake played with all his puzzles and wanted me to read all of his favourite books.
It was a lovely sunny spring day and we spent all afternoon in the backyard with Jake playing soccer and in the sand pit. Aidan joined us after his nap and he loved the water activity table and running around on the lawn. We all had a lovely day and they went home very happy after eating mandarins off our tree, and a bit wet but nicely worn out from play. We hope to do it again at the end of the week and get back into our routine again in the next week or so.
I also received a very large parcel again from Barbara Dawson (Vic) who donated 4 lovely quilt tops with fabric for backing and lots of lovely prepared bindings which will save me lots of time.
Thankfully the Covid numbers continue to decline and hopefully we can enjoy a bit more freedom soon.

  


 Hugs, Jan Mac

How exciting to have your favorite boys back!
I haven't gotten hugs from my grandchildren since February. Thank goodness for FaceTime.

It's fun to see how excited the boys were to see their stuff. I bet you had a huge smile on all day and went to bed with one on your face. What a wonderful 'mess' in the house. I am so happy for you.

So lovely to see two happy boys, reuniting with favourite toys/stories/activities and, of course, Granny and Grandpa! Fingers crossed your Covid restrictions are soon lifted.
