Day 5 in the quiet house..................

..................And it's not really quiet any more!!!!

The boys are HOME!!!!!!
The washing machine is going into overload and i am asking the weather gods for decent dry weather tomorrow so that i can put it all out and get it dried!!

Yesterday was a good day for them - they did some archery and some biking. The bikes they used were hand cranked bikes. Instead of you having pedals, you have the equivalent on the handle bars and you "pedal" with your hands!!
Later in they went bowling, which they enjoyed.

While Peter was watching a DVD, Paul sneeked off to pack the bags - he said it was good to get a bit of peace to do that. Welcome to MY world i thought!!

Today i got a call from Paul to say they were at the station, but the train was late. He said they'd phone again from Edinburgh. Louise and i headed into the station to find that the train was running 40 minutes late. So we waited.

The boys got off the train, both in one piece! Paul was a bit harrased - he'd asked for a little help from one of the staff in Newcastle and they rudly said "NO - i have to get this train away". So there was Paul trying to get Peter on the train, sort the bags, get to the seats (to find that someone had blagged them!!!) and settle Peter down. THankfully, the people who were sitting in the seats gave them up - don't think they wanted to argue!!!

So we got home - the cat was mighty pleased to see the boys - nose kisses all round!! Food and unpacking followed. And they've spent the evening chilling and showing us the photos. I will put some of them up when i  get organised!!!

So i'm going to chase the boys to bed soon - i think it has been a week of late nights and early mornings and sleep is needed!!!!
