Brotherly concern

Today was a fun day at the college. A bouncy castle had been erected too. Much to Ewen's delight! Face painting had also been arranged amongst other activities. This was one that many of the kids took great advantage of, coming away looking like butterflies, clowns, Spiderman, and tigers to name but a few. Ewen refused, point blank, to have his face painted. As the afternoon passed, his reluctance wained. However, he couldn't decide what he wanted to be. At one point, he was going to be a car. Ewen painted as a tiger In the end he became a tiger. Watch this space for photos!!!

The braai came and went and the boys ate what they would. Dessert was an ice-cream / ice-lollie. We realised this when Ewen appeared requesting we remove the wrapper off the ice-lollie. Aware that Iain didn't have one, Ewen encouraged him to follow him in search of the students who were distributing ice-creams. Likewise, we encouraged Iain from a distance, though he stood with thumb in mouth and hand on ear--tired. Ewen found one of the students and brought the ice-lollie to me. Iain took one lick and didn't go any further. Not surprising really--it was quite sour. My snicker's ice-cream was fair game though. He must have eaten a good third it.
