Summer Holidays, Day 25/47
Day 25/47 It was a pretty typical first day back from our holiday away today, catching up on washing, doing lawns and having a tidy up in the garden. (Seven lettuces picked from the veggie garden all ready to eat, so salads on the menu for the next couple of weeks!) I even managed to clean the car inside and out, so it's been a busy day!
It has also been a typical day for the boys. As I've mentioned before, Austin is my outside boy. From the moment he gets up, he's keen to get outside. So he's more than happy to 'help' out in the garden - or drag me away from it to put him up and down the slide! Of course, if there's water or watering involved, even better! So as soon as he saw me washing the car this afternoon, he was there, and hose in hand.
Hayden, however, often prefers to stay inside doing his own thing, drawing, making something, playing with his toys, or playing one of the many 'imaginary' games he makes up at the moment. He does enjoy coming outside for a while, especially if we're playing a game together, but he's never been obsessed with being outdoors like Austin is. Today he was more than happy to stay inside and decorate a big box and pretend he was a transformer with it. Later this afternoon he decided he wanted to write letters to his grandparents. He loves to checking the mail box every day and has quickly worked out that if he sends mail, there's more of a chance he might get mail in return!
So today it's my inside boy and my outside boy : )
