Having Fun

I hope you all have had as much fun as JT over the Christmas holidays.

There has been fun in the snow....


Fun with grandparents.....


Fun with new toys .....


And fun with boxes....


HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Wrapping Presents

This is for all you people who are complaining about having presents to wrap.



I could send you a little help. He's especially good at putting the ribbon on.



Christmas wrapping has just taken a little longer than usual this year!

Bringing You a Smile

Getting a photo out of Jacob these days has been near to impossible. Once he sees the camera he either charges at it quicker than I can get the shutter closer or refuses to look at me no matter how many silly antics I do. So I thought I'd just share the one good photo I did manage to get.

Big Girl's Blouse

Now who's this pretty little girl?



Special precautionary measures are required when JT is drawing!





The pen lids provide almost as much fun as the pens.....





What are you looking at?

An Autumnal Walk

Having spent many days (and even weeks) recently couch-ridden due to sickness, Mummy and JT finally got out for a walk in the leaves.



You have no idea how much fun leaves can be..........





Here, you try Mummy.....



Can I eat them?

Fun On The Couch

JT has recently learned how to climb up on the couch....



and boy is he having fun!



Jumping up and down is so much fun....



but the best bit is teasing Mummy!

Lawnmower Troubles

The next time you buy me a lawnmower Auntie L will you please buy me one that fits in the washing machine.....



It just won't go in!



What do I do now?



I'll just go and mow the couch instead.

A Man's Work is Never Done

Some serious ground work has been taking place here this week.

On Monday there were stones to be dug....



and shovelled into the trailer......



Wonder what this tastes like?



Then yesterday there was a lawnmower to be fixed......



then the grass had to be mowed....



even the stones had to be mowed!



And finally there were stones to be moved and they were hard work!



All in a week's work.

Wee Granny

This is JT's Great Granny. 



She is affectionately known as 'Wee Granny' by some of her great grandchildren because of her stature.  She will be 91 in November and has 35 great-grandchildren.  We called to visit her yesterday.

'Wee Granny' is very hard of hearing, so she shouts very loudly and this scared Jacob. 

But then she produced cars.............



and they were friends.

Tractor Troubles

We bought JT a tractor when we were away on our wee break. It is providing hours of fun (albeit in minutes at a time).





There is just one problem......



the slurry tanker keeps disconnecting from the tractor.



Then when he pulls the tractor the tanker doesn't come with it......


(notice the sound effects coming from his lips)

and this happens.....



So Mummy comes to the rescue and fixes it and the whole thing starts again!
