Boys will be boys!

It is official, Mia is on heat and Bruno's maleness has kicked in or should i say jumped in/on and he is EXHAUSTED after day 2! I am learning about the birds and bees in "dog" land as I am not sure how long this will go on for!!! I hope for Bruno's sake it is quick. Hope has become very interested in the whole shebang and continues to ask many long winded questions, "Mom, how does Bruno know he is a boy?" I was sure daddy would fill her in on all the details during story and bed time as after all he is - a boy and gets exhausted!

My girls afternoon play date with their "girlfriends" was rudely interrupted as the FOUR BOYS from next door were adamant that "Grade 2 sucks!" Talor was horrified as she actually had a fantastic first day back at school. She sat for ages when she got home unveiling to us all her new books, pencil crayons etc.

Enough said, the girls declared war - and from that moment on weapons were drawn. Respective Moms hosepipes were laoded and children took their positions. Nicholas on top of gate post(good spot) with one mighty powerful hosepipe and 3 brothers flanked on his right with another loaded hosepipe.

The girls way out smarted the boys however as although they only had one weapon(hosepipe) they had many other weapons of mass destruction - hysterical laughter, boogie boards to sheild bodies and faces, a bucket and of course a clever Mom who jumped over the wall to switch OFF the weapons! The boys faces as the water trickled to a standstill was priceless!

Soaked, still full of hysteria they dripped inside for pampering( long showers/baths) and padkos!

Things that make me smile...
I saw and spoke to Gail(my niece) on skype (England)
the look of exhaustion on Bruno's'face
the "little" new grade ones

Today I am grateful for...
my girls are happy
the laughter of children
cuppa tea (regular 5 Roses)
digital cameras
