Peter, Olivia and Noah had a lazy morning, nobody bothering to change out of their pyjamas after coming home late flight the Airport they'd all finished eating and they made their way into the living room where they played games and lego together until just after 11.
"I could do with going to the shop, getting a few things for dinner" Olivia said, "do you both want to get dressed and come with me? We might even stop off at the park on the way." Peter and Noah both agreed.
"I'm going to get dressed?"
"Okay" Peter said as he ruffled his head.
"Are we ready?" Olivia asked as she came out of the bedroom.
"We are" Peter nodded, smiling as she watched Peter help Noah with his shoes.
"Let's go then" Peter slipped on his jacket.
They strolled leisurely towards the park, Noah a next to them chatting happily.
Olivia settled on a bench once they were at the playground, unable to stop smiling as she watched Peter as he helped Noah up onto the climbing frame, Peter obviously enjoying being with Noah as much as he was enjoying having him with them.
"Are you okay?" Peter asked as Olivia as she looked over to where he was already pushing Noah on the swings.
"Of course" she smiled looking at Peter and seeing him raise his eyebrow.
"Come on Darling" Olivia encouraged Noah as he lagged behind, "I know you're tired but we're nearly home, if I could carry you then I would but I've got my hands full" she tried to explain. The planned fifteen minutes in the park on the way to the shops had turned into almost an hour and it was obvious that Noah was struggling with the walk home and Peter was carrying the shopping as well.
Neither adult was surprised when after the short walk back home Noah curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
"now how about I go and make you and I a cuppa once I've put the shopping away."
"Are you sure?"
Peter nodded, "certain, and if you're lucky, I might even bring you some cake with your cuppa"
Olivia laughed, "you're too good to me" she chuckled.
Peter winked cheekily as he went back to putting the shopping away, "nothing more than I think you deserve."
