If only the whole weekend’s weather had been like this?!
Enjoyable, rewarding & tiring weekend with 12 cubs from our pack at the brilliant Scout Centre at Lochgoilhead.
Absolutely fantastic staff too.
Cubs loved it, my boy is totally knackered!

Classic dad sports behaviour…
My boys wanted to play some older boys at football & asked me to join in.
Pulled hamstring, lost 5-4. ⚽️😳😂

So boy no.2 made a new ‘do not disturb’ sign for the wee playroom / office / pile of sh1te room. Though his sign says ‘please go away we are working.’ 😂 This is me in the pic & I’m sure he just called me a d1ck! He’s 6…..
If the shoe fits…… 🤷🏻😂

Very Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there!
Whatever the day brings, I hope you manage to have a great day!
I blew a gasket running a 10k this morning 🥵🏃‍♂️, but luckily these 2 wonderful wee lads were there to greet me at the end. 💙💙

Fajita burgers!
New invention or not?! 🤔
Cooked off 🧅 🧄 🫑 🍄 & added smoked paprika.
Mixed in with lean beef into burgers & baked in the oven for about 20 mins.
My boys then made up the rolls & extra bits & pieces themselves & scoffed the lot!
@nandosuk added for grown ups

As my (much) better half, works this Hogmanay & I try & get our 2 very tired wee cheeky monkeys down to sleep, I felt it was only right to treat myself to a wee 🍺 & 🎥🍿.
Here’s to a safer, happier, healthier & more normal 2022 for us all.
A very happy new year to you & yours.

[Colin W H Reid @ColinWHReid]

Really powerful.
Guys we need to educate our boys from a young age & all take responsibility to do better and be better. Call it out, don’t stand for it. #IsThisOK

[Scottish Dad @ScottishDadLife]

That wee d1ck is back!
Festive countdown is on….. yay….

Nothing says ‘parenting’ on a late Friday evening more than cold kids left over spag bol, 2 stale cheese finger rolls while watching a day old recording of Masterchef & it’s culinary delights!
Tuck in! 😁 😋 🤤

Self-isolation healthier cookies made with boy no.1. Quick, easy & tasty (so I’m told as I still don’t have my taste & smell back…😭) How do they ‘stack up’ @AMummyToo ? (See what I did there? 😉)

Stay safe.

Parenting snack issues…
I had a school night ‘empty’ last night as my wife & 2 wee boys were away for the night. They took the car, so the only (social distanced) snacks I could offer were Banana popcorn, trail mix (I had made for trg) & pomme bears!
Got some funny looks! 😂😳🤦‍♂️

[Scottish Dad @ScottishDadLife]

Amazingly managed to avoid the score until I got a chance to sit down & watch it after boys asleep. Quiet, 2 cold drinks & ‘Dad’s Dinner’, left over turkey burgers made for the boys. What a result for @lionsofficial against @sarugby Be wary of a wounded Bok next wk tho’. Oooft!

[Scottish Dad @ScottishDadLife]

A very Happy Father’s Day to you all! 💙💙 #myboys #FathersDay2021 #fathersday
