Pitter patter

I came home from bootcamp tonight (don't get me started on how much pain I'm in as a result of that torture) and within 5 seconds of walking in the door I hear the pitter patter of little feet running around upstairs.  OK, maybe pitter patter is a bit generous - it was more like a small herd of elephants galloping across the savannah.

But that herd of elephants was Aidan and Shannon running down the stairs to welcome me home with big hugs.  That made all the pain from bootcamp disappear (at least for a minute or two!!)

For lack of anything else inspirational to say, here are some pictures of the little rascals:

Quinn and Shannon playing N64, while wearing their goggles (don't ask):

Aidan had a field trip to the fire hall with Beavers. He loved the shiny firetrucks, and more importantly- the BIG tools!! (typical male):
