Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-10-04

2009-10-04 23:05 (Kristen) We got up, puttered (or played video games), then got dressed to meet Simon and his parents Peter and Leslie for brunch. Liam mourned his DS having been left in the car, but his steady requests for bits of Simon's breakfast indicated that he was more hungry than actually cranky. We had fun with Simon and his family. I'd asked Liam what toys he thought Simon was going to bring with him, and Liam replied, fairly quickly, "Cars." He was right. The boys shared a very large hamburger, and then we said our goodbyes before going to pick Daniel up at a nearby subway station. Every year around this time, we go out to Daniel's armourer to pick up new pieces of armor for him, or to fix/replace bits that are too small or need repairs. Jim lives about an hour away from our house, and the boys had fun with Daniel sitting between then for the trip. Once there, we got Daniel fixed up, and bought Jamie a pair of bracers and a little breastplate of his own. He now has Daniel's old shield, and is very pleased by this. The next generation of armoured children in our lives... Liam isn't interested in it yet, but I imagine that he will be in a short period of time. We drove back, dropped Daniel off at home, saw John's parents briefly, and then hung about the house doing much of what we did earlier in the day. Ross dropped by with some Finnish pancakes for us that Tom had made, and which we made short work of. Yum. Liam hadn't run around enough today, I think, so he took a very long time to fall asleep, with much flopping and turning to and fro. Jamie took a while too, but I'm not entirely sure why (and neither was he).
