Styling it out

Grandpa rather bravely came over to look after the boys as I had a meeting to go to at lunch time.  I thought it would be prudent to make sure we got out this morning to make sure they'd run off some energy by the time Grandpa arrived.  

So we went over to a local wood to 'look for treasure' and find some sticks.  The eldest got a bit cold so requisitioned my body-warmer (I don't think he was too worried about me....) - I think he carried the look off pretty well. The youngest got quite into looking for treasure, and pronounced that we were looking for 'pirate treasure'.  

Meeting was interesting, but more importantly, Grandpa survived being in charge.  The boys were delighted to have him to lunch and the eldest showed him all kinds of things around the house that he was proud of (including the swarfega under the kitchen sink that we bought last weekend - amazing what they remember!).
