Today is MD stateside.
The hus-creature is a little bummed out because the gift he ordered for me (last weekend, and paid for 2-day expedited shipping on) hasn’t arrived.
I would have been sad but look what I got:
This is #1 Son’s handiwork 💕
And this was from TT. She asked Nanoo to help her and he kept his artwork in line with hers 💗💗
So gift or no gift, I am blessed today.
We also had an invite to go see Libida, Faux, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd so off we toddled to New Hampshire.
Since we last visited, they have acquired:
- A new tiny Westie puppy named Fearghas.
- A new baby boy goat named Starlord
- A new baby boy Alpaca named Cable – he already lives with Knit and Purl
So I got to play with two out of the three.
And oh my gosh Fearghas is just the cutest little bundle of floppy eared fluff ever
TT adored the animals. So much so that she spent the entire visit more or less outside and didn’t ask for her tablet once.
Sadly I wasn’t as lucky with #1 Son, as 1st and 2nd also play Minecraft on XBox so they spent much of the visit playing that together. But although his visit wasn’t screen free, he was playing with other children in his general age bracket. So I count that as a success.
We tried to pet a chicken. She wasn’t keen
And even now I’m not certain whether I mean TT or the chicken 😂🤣
We showed her the ducks and their sprinkler. The ducks love the sprinkler 💕
Here is the wonderful bundle that is Fearghas:
He sat on my head 💕
And I finally got to properly play and cuddle the wonderful mutt that is his big brother Connor:
He is a very smiley pupper but I didn’t manage to catch his grin.
#1 Son did go outside briefly when he spotted that the Faux-lets had a battery powered ride on tractor thing:
They even let him drive it which was really nice of them. TT had a little go too (it helped us get her in the car!)
We stayed long enough that it became mucking out and feeding time.
I got to bottle feed Starlord 💕💕💕💕💕
Oh it was awesome and he’s just so cute – and very chatty bless him. Yes I am ecstatic over bottle feeding a goat!!!
We also had a little play on the Faux-let’s play set:
Then as it was 17:00 we decided we should leave – it meant the kids would have a late bedtime but they had had so much fun it was more than worth it 😍
We had two abortive attempts at dinner – apparently eateries etc are only signposted before the relevant highway/interstate exit. After that? You’re on your own kids!
So we got almost all the way back to Melrose and stopped at Friendlys.
I love their ice cream sundaes
TT ate broccoli:
And #1 Son has double cheese sliders and a diy sundae:
TT was too exhausted to eat more than a few bites of her ice cream poor wee* thing.
So the small people’s are abed and the hus-creature and I rounded off the evening with the Beta Co-op of StarDew Valley. I love that game 💕
* slight segue but the poor lass has “not my toilet” fear so we managed to persuade her to do wee wees at Aunty Libida’s after four hours and she held her poop until after put down for bedtime (20:30)
