Things still going really well...
We took the boys to the farm on Friday with their foster carer - they loved the calves, particularly when one of them licked McGrew's tummy! McGrew and Cuthbert both climbed to the top of a wooden fort in the playpark at the farm, and then shouted at the top of their voices ' mummy, look at me!' - Luckily Mrs D had her sunglasses on, to hide the tears of joy!
Yesterday we went to the local park by ourselves and spent ages playing football, going down the slide (and reminding McGrew that you go up the ladder and down the slide, rather than up the slide!) and generally having fun. Then to the duck pond to feed the ducks and pick brambles on the way back to the foster carer's - though I've never know ducks to have been fed cherry scones before! One of the highlights of yesterday was both McGrew and Cuthbert shouting to me 'daddy, can I go on your shoulders?' - which of course they did, though one at a time!!
We ended yesterday by bathing the boys and then putting them to bed after reading them a story.... It's great!
Today, we were up at the crack to make sure we were with the boys for breakfast... then we took them out in the car ourselves to a maize maze! Despite losing McGrew for a few minutes, we did get them all back in one piece... And then lunch, which went better than we had thought it would - so well, in fact, that McGrew and Cuthbert were both allowed pudding for behaving so well!
We've three days left now before we go home, and the boys come up to see our house and get to know where we live next weekend.... The plan is they'll then be at home with us for ever from the 26th....
We can't wait!

Wonderful. Even when they are *really* naughty, *really* messy, as infuriating as they can think of, and squabble till you rhead hurts - they are a gift! Wonderful to read!
