We had a lovely weekend spending time with family and friends. On Saturday morning Jeanne and Kate came over for a couple of hours and Oliver and Kate had fun playing. It was funny because Oliver has had a ball popping machine for a few months which he has hated - crying every time we even show it to him, let alone switch it on. Anyway, Kate loved this toy so she was playing with it and now Oliver doesn't mind it at all and even asks for it to be put on!! Just shows what a bit of peer pressure can do :))
On Sunday we went to Emma Krumbee's apple orchard which is about an hour's drive away. Three of Sandy's grandkids came along as did Matt, Jennifer and Mikayla. The weather was fab and there was loads for the kids to do - a big hay pile, tractor and trailer rides, music where the kids could play along with a variety of instruments, play area, animals to feed....... Oliver was quite content to push his buggy around most of the time. He wasn't sure about any of the animals but had fun on a little bike in the play area. We bought some pumpkins which are now on the doorstep awaiting the callers on Halloween :)
In the afternoon we went to Matt and Jennifer's and took the kids out to the playground. They had fun on the swings and slides but, again, Oliver either wanted to push the buggy or just wander around. This walking thing is fun I guess!! In the evening we went out for dinner at Old Chicago. Without going into details, Oliver came home with no trousers on - oops!!!
Sadly Oliver has caught a cold which got progressively worse yesterday afternoon. He woke up every hour last night coughing and spluttering. It's very unlike him to be ill so it's sad to see and we are hoping it clears up in time for our trip to Myrtle Beach on Thursday. I'm not feeling the greatest either but I'll live!!
Very exciting that it's less than two weeks until Nanna Pan arrives - I've even added a countdown for it (thanks Katherine!!). We're really looking forward to it.
I'll post again when we get back from Jason and Jamie's wedding - we are bound to have some cute photos from that!!

Who could possibly sell these very cute kids??!!
