School holiday fun…

Well to let you in on a little secret – school holidays haven’t been so much fun so far. Let’s see – there was the bike riding ‘adventure’ that consisted of short bursts of riding followed by prolonged episodes of shouting and kicking the bike. Then there was the biscuit making which also involved lots of shouting (although that was mostly from me). And then there’s the general day to day whinging and bickering that forms the soundtrack to our school holiday existence. Honestly yesterday I was contemplating how I hadn’t seen the dentist for a while and how peaceful his lovely chair would be compared to the mess and chaos that is life at home right now.

BUT I did manage to squeeze in a little bit of fun after Zoe’s shower last night. Who used to do this as a child?

Of course as much as Zoe loved her rags she woke several times complaining about them and then screamed at me today on more than one occasion that she DIDN’T WANT CURLS SHE WANTED PLAITS and to TAKE THEM OUT. Just quietly I think she did enjoy the ringlets – and I certainly enjoyed them more than bike riding or cooking biscuits. Here’s a late afternoon shot of the ringlets still looking pretty damn cute.

Here’s hoping the Easter Bunny brings us lots of chocolate and good humour for the next week ahead
