A fun, chillaxed bank holiday weekend was bookened with visits from two of my favourite people. On Thursday my nephew Noah, who turns one next month, called over so that his mum and I could have catch up chats. Then on Sunday I had a babysitting date with his big brother Ethan, while his mum and dad went on a date of their own to see Avengers Assemble (which, by the way, is very awesome).

Both of them make great company – Noah wants to share pretty much all his food with you, while three-year-old Ethan randomly bursts out with adorable things like “I love you so much!” and “Can you come over and play Super Mario on the Wii, four player?” He wasn’t a fan of my Connect4 tactics though, and kept scolding me for blocking him.
