feeling happy

we've had a great half-term with the girls - we decided last sunday to go away for a couple of days to edinburgh. we've never been away with the girls before and they loved staying in a hotel.
we went to jedburgh abbey on the way there and had a picnic, we went out for dinner at night which the girls loved because we don't often inflict them on restaurants and the we spent all day on wednesday at the zoo. They were so good, despite the travelling and periods of starvation (muuumm we're starving, can we have something to eat nooooowwww) although there was an icecream request/desire/need by Alice refused after a foot stamping incident at the zoo but she survived and hopefully learnt a lesson.
And then we abandoned our girls with their lovely we-want-to-spend-time-with-our grandchildren- grandparents for two days - the girls were spoiled rotten and entertained 24/7 while we got some sleep and went shopping!!


Life feels good and I'm grabbing onto it before I hit my next low again
