Big Brothers & Boxes

What more does a boy need but big brothers and boxes?

Today I took delivery of my hubby's main Christmas present which the boys helped me wrap up. 

We were then left with a big empty box.

I went off to help Calum with some accordion after bathtime and came through a little while later to find James had made the box into a bespoke car for Alasdair.

The car stereo was playing his favourite song (Silver Wings)...

The boot (trunk) was full of toys.....

And he had asked for a tough car so James made it a Land Rover.

Inside the box he added a couple of comfy cushions, a teddy or two and then Alasdair spent the rest of the evening quite content in it, before parking it carefully at bedtime.

I'd love to share what the present in the box was, but as my hubs reads my blog then I mustn't! I'm very excited about it though and equally excited about the saving I made through an Amazon Black Friday week special deal!

Band of Brothers

I've often thought about how special it must be to be one of a few brothers.

The bond between brothers is a special one (as is that of sisters) and I love to see it in action between my boys.

Recently I have also been thinking about how much fun little Alasdair's life is when compared to that of our oldest son at the same age. 

Those days were special in their own way, as he had my undivided attention all day long, but having siblings is a whole different kind of fun.

I have this video below to prove my point.

A few weeks back I had sent the boys all upstairs to brush their teeth before bed. As I came up the stairs I heard this hilarious giggling. After watching from outside the room I grabbed my phone to record what was happening.

The footage is really dark, and you can hardly even see Alasdair, but it's the sound that matters in this one. His oldest brother, James, is entertaining him with one of his teddies.

It's one to cherish.
