Birthday weekend

 






It's been a busy weekend with lots of time with the family ahead of the new restrictions coming into force today. We were at Christchurch Ski Centre on Saturday morning for Joseph's birthday party, a few days early but great timing as it turns out. The children played in the park for hours with little supervision which was lovely. They are getting that bit older. 
The afternoon saw us back home where there was a big gathering of fmaily and Glen's friends to celebrate his birthday. It was nearly 2 by the time I was in bed but the lovely thing was waking up on Sunday to find the house tidy and the kitchen clear. We had put aside some space for empty cans and bottles and it proved a good move. They were full but it meant we started the day without the usual scattering of half empty cans etc. In fact the whole evening was great. We had a good time without it getting out of hand and the children loved it too.
There were a lot of sore heads the next morning so we had the children for the morning and we got Maisy out for a walk whilst we did a little litter pick and visited the park. The children went down to the park three or four times during the day and are increasingly able to look after themselves and one another. 
Today - beach day!!!

Beach walk

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
