Last Thursday started out as a cool day that quickly warmed up. Craig had been dressed warmly in the morning but later, after kindy, refused to take off either of his two long-sleeved t-shirts. He even put the hood of the outer one over his head resulting in lots of sweat and some pretty messed-up hair. He seemed to like his new look, however.
The boys were awake relatively early on Saturday morning this week. That meant there was time to travel all the way to LA Cafe for brunch and be able to call it breakfast.
Mum was quite happy to be able to read the newspaper while Graham played his own little games. It was a very pleasant way to start the day.
But, during the walk home the early morning sunshine disappeared and dark, heavy clouds began to threaten. Craig only had time to play for a few minutes in one park before rain forced a mad dash home.
While Dad ran through the rain to get home, Graham fell asleep. He was quickly taken into the bedroom for a nap.
A late-ish lunch was had at the breakfast shop nearest home where Mum was quick to pick up another newspaper.
She wasn't too happy about all this taking of photos during one of her very few chances to relax. Craig thought it was all pretty funny.
Graham was ignoring that fun. He just wanted to get out of the pram. It doesn't show much in the photo but it actually started to pour down with rain while they sat there.
Fortunately, the rain stopped long enough later for an evening walk. Graham managed to find a place where he could get his hands really filthy.
Back at home there was only clean stuff to play with, Graham seemed to think that was boring.
On Sunday, Dad's job was to take the two boys out so that Mum could clean the floor at home in peace. The boys went all the way to Neihu where the boys had heaps of fun on one of their favourite little jungle gyms.
They had only stopped at Neihu because the sun was out when they were passing through. It was an unplanned stop but it worked out well. Graham and Craig were happy to be outdoors.
And their Mum was happy because she could have half a morning to herself. Not a bad result on what was otherwise a wet weekend.
