Family "Fun"




Last Friday school broke up for Myself, Hubby and the two kids.
Saturday saw me in town buying/treating the HGS* . We bought a pair of long shorts, a hoody, and two pairs of school trousers for the Autumn term. THe agreement was that he was only trying on the School trousers.

We got home and he went to try on the new shorts and informed me that they were broken and needed returning. Apparently the zip was missing...... yes you guessed it - they had a button fly. He had never heard of such a thing. Worse still he could not do the top two buttons!

Ten mins later Hubby and his Best Friend came home and all three were pushed into the kitchen and instructed to have "Man to Man" time to solve the problem!

Now my Daughter have taken to coming downstairs every morning and the first thing she does it bop the HGS around the head. Apparently it is to get ahead for the day!
Mind you he has worked out that the best way to get on your sister's nerves is to give her huge cuddles.

Yesterday the HGS had a bath first thing in the morning, he came downstairs and his hair looked like a haystack- he is growing it long! My daughter took him upstairs dried it, covered it with some sort of serum and then straightened it... the HGS did not have a choice. It looks good, although he is now walking looking at the ceiling all the time so he can see out from under his fringe.

*HGS= 12 year old Hair Greying Son
My daughter is now 15+

Thank goodness mine are long past that stage! But now I have the next generation to deal with. But it won't be for a while, Callum is only 5 months, and even if he'd like to grow his hair long, it's just not happening right now!

The HGS is having baths in the morning? Voluntarily? You're not having to hog-tie him down and drag him to it??

My word, things certainly have changed while you've been off blogdom lol

And did the men manage to figure out the problem? Can HGS now do up the top two buttons??

It's kinda cute to read that S is actually taking HGS under her wing and giving him points on refining himself, hair-wise anyway!
