Going Topless...

sorry to disapoint but nothing risque just putting the top down on the wrangle for the first time! The weather was so amazing yesterday that M decided to put the top down for our trip out to get a new olive tree. It only took about 20 min to put it down and it was fantastic riding with the sun on my face and the wind im my hair and jb blasting out of the stero. We took S from next door along for the ride and he just couldn't believe that someone was singing about a cheeseburger!! It was a lovely way to round off a lovely weekend. Saturday we pottered and then went to beacon hill country park for an amble. We clambered ove the bronze age hill fort and the boys did a bit of rock climbing. The views from the top were amazing, you could see for miles in every direction.
Sunday we headed down to M's parents, dogs and all. Sam had a blast hunting for eggs and playing with his cousins. We had fun catching up with everyone and relaxing in the sunshine. The dogs were amazingly well behaved, even Rogue. We stayed the night and the pups slept in their crate in the kitchen. We had expected lots of whinning but not a peep was heard. Sam made a new friend, a shield bug named shieldy who ended up living in a plastic pot supplied by nana. Shieldy survived very well and came home here to be released into our butterfly garden. Sam has now decided to collect insects whenever we go out and bring them home for the garden. Can't decide if this is a good thing or not. The garden is now looking much better as M, helped by the two sams has had a good sort out and done lots of planting. The lawn is still a mess but we have plans to deck over a lot of it so that should help with the mud next winter!!

Back to school today but as we are starting with science sam's shouldn't complain too much, that and the fact that we will be going out to toys r us later on a lego run should put him in a good mood.
