Thanks for all your comments girls!
Today, being Sunday has been another busy day for me. Church as per usual.
Then grandsons Riley and Joshua came back to visit with us and everything was beautifully peaceful whilst they had lunch played a bit and Riley went for a well needed nap.
Then DH comes home and poor Joshua couldn't do anything right and ended up in tears wanting his Mumma. Poor darling!
DH just doesn't have a clue about thinking of a little 4yr olds feelings.
Of course it all turned out allright in the end but gee, he's hard work sometimes.
We had a wonderful evening celebrating my father-in-laws 90th birthday. Big Gramps as all the 'little people' call him. We all contributed food and took it to RSL park where he is a resident and got together, with him as the guest of honour, in one of their lovely rooms.
Of course, when we first got there I went to find Big Gramps. He was in bed! Still in his PJ's. In fact, this was 4:30pm and he had been in bed all day. I tried to explain to him what was happening (he had been told yesterday!), and he just couldn't work it out because his birthday is actually tomorrow. Why would we all be coming today. I had to write on a piece of paper that everyone is at work on Monday! He was rather surprised that we work on His birthday!
Once we got him organised we had a lot of fun watching him, watching everything happening around him. He can't really particpate in conversations anymore because he can't hear very well at all. Some of his great grandchildren wished him a happy birthday, but he didn't hear them. I got some great (I hope!) photos of him opening some presents with the help of several great-grandchildren.
At 6:30pm it was all over. We packed up, cleaned up and Big Gramps almost chased us out the door! I think he had had enough.
Another day has passed, full of great memories.
