Water Fight!

The boys have been making the most of this glorious sunshine over the last few days. On Saturday evening we had to drop Tina off in Southend for a hen night. As it was such a beautiful sunny evening we decided to head down on the beach for a while to build some sand castles and play in the water and generally have some fun. It almost felt like holiday season sitting on a scorching hot beach at around 8pm in the evening – its pretty rare you can have evenings like this in the good old UK.

As the weekend passed the temperatures continued to sore and yesterday was the hottest day of the year with temperatures topping 34 degrees. When I got home from work the boys were out in the garden running around and generally getting hot. So I filled up their sand play pit with water to help them cool down. This was absolutely hilarious as within about 5 minutes they were having a water fight. This was the first time the two boys have had a water fight with each other and it was absolutely wonderful to just sit back and watch them running around and throwing water over each other.

The garden soon became a mud bath and they were both slipping over getting covered in wet muddy grass – proper boys!!! Brandon gave as good as he got which was nice to see. I haven’t laughed so much in ages watching the pair of them going at it.

What an action shot.

Would you mess with this pirate?

To further add to the fun (and the wet muddy garden) I decided to get the sprinkler out and let the nuddie boys run in and out of the water jets. Oh to be young again and not have a care in the world……….

On a slightly different subject the boys have been having phase in sessions at their new nursery over the last week and a half. All seems to be going well and they are settling in nicely and already made some friends. They have already brought home their first art work from the new nursery which they were both very proud of. Anyway Friday is the big day when they both do their first full day and will no longer go to their current nursery.

To finish today’s blog update I think most people are aware that Joshua is a thumb sucker, but Brandon has his cloth. At times he gets very attached to his cloth regardless of how dirty and smelly they become and it can be a challenge to part it off of him to put in the washing machine. Despite having a drawer full of cloths he is no longer fooled by a sparkling new clean one. If you give him a fresh one he often throws it to the floor and says “I want yucky cloth!” How funny is that?
