The grandparents suggested it a while ago, to give us some extra time to build the house (I think they are keener then we are for us to move in!). The idea took a little getting used to for me - the boys are after all only 5 and 4, and they still need their mummy. Hopefully when they are 25 and 24 they'll still need their mummy. Paul was keen on the idea from the start - not that he wouldn't miss them, but as he has the ability to think removed from his emotions, he saw straight away how good it would be for them, and for him to be able to work on the house without being distracted every 10 minutes to help them make mud bricks, or bang in some nails, or build them a car out of scrap wood (now you can understand why the house is taking so long to build!!).
So anyway, the boys stayed an extra week and we came home. We didn't really get that much extra done on the house, but we did manage to have some nice quality time with Isaac, who was totally lost without his brothers. He'd wander around the house a bit, get the lego out, build a few things, put the lego away, *sigh*. He was happy when they came home.
And the boys had a great time in Canberra. They were taken here, there and everywhere by their grandparents and aunts, got to play with their mummy's and aunty's old lego, and played on Uncle Steve's Wii. They LOVE Uncle Steve. But then he's so much fun...
Who wouldn't love Uncle Steve??!!
