3 years ago the perfect Sunday for me would have been to wake up early and head down the gym for a workout or go out for a run. Then have brekkie, clean the car, mow the gardens, watch a grand prix and chill out with a Sunday roast. 3 years later and this is far from the perfect Sunday for me as its all about the boys.
This Sunday wasn't massively different from last week. Up bright and early to get the boys to football club. The good news hear is that Joshua will be moving up to the next class at 10 o'clock starting next week, so we do not have to rush around so much on a Sunday morning. The bad news is there is still no sign of Brandon being able to officially start. After football club I managed to squeeze in a quick cheeky workout before taking them both swimming. Whilst I was in the gym the two boys run riot for 45 mins in the soft play area.
After swimming it was home for lunch which was followed by some painting and then some role playing. Both boys decided they wanted to dress up, Josh as a Police Man and Brandon as a Fireman. So to further enhance their role playing I grabbed a big sheet from the airing cupboard which we draped over the kitchen table to make a play den.
Anyone here was Mr Fuzz driving around in his police car, arresting me for running around the house too fast.
And here is Mr Fireman Sam who was bashing everything with an toy axe.
Mr Fuzz calling the Fireman to let them know there was a fire to attend too.
In the afternoon both boys were asking if they could go out in the bike trailer. So despite a very tiring morning off we set. I decided to take them over to the Wickford Church off Runwell Rd. Unfortunately it was closed so we only got to see it from the outside. However on the way back we decided to explore the Wickford Memorial Park for the first time.

Now I have to confess I have lived in Wickford for over 10 years and have not been to the Memorial Park. What a mistake? It is probably one of the better parks in our area and has basket ball courts, a big park / play area, crazy golf, ice cream parlour, a bit of woodland and a nice river flowing through to name just a few bits. Despite today being a bit chilly, both boys loved playing in the park and time seemed to fly past. Next thing I know Tina is calling the mobile saying dinner is ready and we have a 20 min cycle to get home (doh!). Despite blasting home on the cycle Brandon managed to fall asleep in the trailer, albeit only for about 10 mins.
Anyway here are just a few snaps from the Memorial Park.
Brandon only braved this slide once, Joshua was up and down like a yo-yo.
You won't be surprised to hear Joshua climbed up on this all on his own.
The two boys racing each other down the extra wide slide.
Brandon is addicted to swings. The picture doesn't really show it but these swings were pretty "free" swinging and consequently went very high. All Brandon kepy saying was "higher", "higher" as usual.
