Blue skies....

It's getting brighter! The weather is definitely getting milder and the winds are not as fierce! :). It's been a lovely day today weather wise. I've had a bit of a busy one, all kids are back at school so it was an early start today. Then into town to return a parcel for my mum. It's shocking the cost of postage!! Into the pharmacy to collect all the medication and then off to the bank to pay all the bills and then on to the shoe shop to purchase ANOTHER pair of shoes for the onion! That kid goes through shoes every two weeks! I wonder what on earth she does in them!! Finally into primark a chain store to pick up bigger pjs as she has also had another growth spurt and outgrown even the ones only purchased at Christmas!

After all my running around I popped into see my sister who lives two doors up from my parents for a quick coffee as she is off on her holidays tomorrow!! Cuba no less!! I confess I'm a little jealous but she has no children and can afford such luxuries. I, however, have the luxury off three small people who bring me no end of sunshine and variety :) and suffering and heartache! But it's worth it! this view is from her door step and my parents caravan can be seen on their drive just in the corner :). I thought the skies looked stunning today. I tried to get a picture the other way towards old smokey but it was too hazy and on my iPhone not clear enough for my liking.

After my coffee break at the big sis' I then baked the kids more cookies as I promised them a treat after their visit to their dads (bribing them to go see him does feel so wrong!) We now have two full tins of chocolate chip and fudge cookies but I can't see them lasting long! The bf took me out for an early dinner so no cooking or washing up for me this evening (happy days!) to round off the day the kids returned a little unsettled again and complaining of smelling funny after being at their dads so it was baths before bedtime and cookies and milk and cuddles and kisses. We also had news from the casting agency and unfortunately he that is the teenager was not selected for the main part this time but they are keeping him in mind for something else. They also said they were very impressed with his screen test so it wasn't all negative news :)

Wow it's been a busy one for someone taking it easy!! :D

I hope you've all had a sunny Monday :)
