The nephews visit for a few days .....

Man alive, a 3yr old and 7yr old are fun but hard work ..
.. although as Uncle, it was pretty much Go-Go for the 3-4 days they stayed over. Teaching Mark to skateboard in the rain was moist but fun (followed by a hot choc in the Broadface). Going swimming with both Mark and Joe was rewarding - especially the second time, when Joe was really getting into his swimming/splashing around. The 'special trip' to Woburn Safari Park also went down very well. A Black Bear pretty much nudged the car as it wandered pass and the monkey (actually there were two) on the roof was a real highlight 
At one point I ran to the gym prior to Lisa and the boys joining me for a swim in the pool. The idea was that they walked to the sport centre after a 10-minute delay to give me some time for a workout. Apparently the boys couldn't wait and so were out of the door pretty much 60seconds after I had left and then ran/dashed after me. Even the girl at the desk commented on the short length of my gym session
Again .... little guys are time consuming 
I think as they get bigger, I'm going to need a bigger apartment as suddenly a two-bedroom apartment feels really small when it's shared with two noisey boys
They're back home with their mum and dad now. Hopefully Mark will keep his skateboarding practice going and his dad will take him swimming from time-to-time
Going to have the a mellow day, with out having to worry about entertaining two little lads .... Yay!
