Small woke me at 7:15am this morning and I asked him to make his own breakfast as I wanted a shower. The boys have now decided they want to make their breakfast everyday (hallelujah, though the reason is because they watch TV whilst eating. However it does make them eat earlier, get ready earlier and be out of the house on time - hallelujah again).
Huffle took a day off today and after a leisurely breakfast, the four of us headed for a local Mall to buy Grandad and Smallest their owed birthday presents. Grandad wanted to go in The Bay (an expensive department store) and here he found a Tommy Hillfiger top and then bought a Wayne Gretzky top in Sears whilst Grandma and I stopped for cup of tea. Our next shop was Best Buy in another town where we replaced my phone charger for one that worked and he bought himself a Tablet plus Chrome Cast to enable us to watch Kodi on there plus use it upstairs on our other TV. He was very happy with his purchases. Grandma and Grandad bought Smallest's birthday presents. An electronic 'Simon' and 'Bananagram'. We all played 'simon' when he got home. Grandma has the top score so far of 12, Smallest 11, me 10 and Grandad and Huffle a poor 6.
While we were in the toy shop, Grandad got friendly with the stuffed animals and he particularly fell in love with a sparkly eyed owl.
We chose one of our favourite burger places for lunch as Grandma and Grandad hadn't been there before (plus there was a Frozen Yoghurt shop next door). After a lovely lunch we had a walk around the Vintage Garage place so Huffle could check out the garden robots and then a quick trip in the Hardware shop before eating some Frozen Yoghurt. It was in here we learnt of Prince's death. Victoria Wood yesterday too. Then I heard about Choppers, the last PGTips chimp died at Twycross Zoo. Goodness this has been hell of a year for celebrities dying. So sad.
While we were out I got a phone call from Small at school asking if I could bring the Tuba in. His lesson was NOW (11am) and we were 30 minutes drive away. I took it back for him when we got home around 3pm, too late for his lesson but at least it's there now.
Grandad made dinner for the boys. A one pot dinner of bacon, sausage, egg and beans. They loved it and finished their 10/10 dinner with treacle pudding for one and 2 donuts for the other (naughty Grandad).

After dinner we all played Banagrams. It was just like the game we play called Take Two but slightly different. It got quite silly.
