Fabulous Evening Treat

All day we have been looking forward to the 'We have finally moved into the Brand New Workshop' BBQ that Daddy's boss very kindly decided to throw. Not only would there be trucks, chippers and chainsaws to look at, but lots of food and other children to harass.

Maria found a five foot 'stop and slow' sign and spent most of the evening trying to find people to stop. When she couldn't convince any of the adults in the workshop to stop more than once, she went out to the adjacent bike path and waved the thing at innocent bystanders. After nearly impaling a short sited bike rider jousting style, Mummy put an end to her traffic stopping days, distracting her with promises of impending ice cream.

Sammy with totally in his element. Huge trucks, tons of chainsaws and a big giant room with lots of echos for raah-ing. He alternated between playing soccer with Daddy and the boys, wearing a safetly helmet complete with ear muffs and visor, and entertaining himself and others with sagas about 'poorly trees' and how Daddy climbs with ropes. He also 'borrowed' a toy chainsaw off another little boy and spent a vast deal of time trying to fell a traffic cone.

Bekah spent the time playing pass the parsel from one person to another, then falling asleep in her pram. When we got home however, she really livened up. Ignoring Mummy and Daddy's attempts to talk to her, she had a very long and involved conversation with the bedpost.

All in all, a fantastic evening!
