The early bird...

gets up in the dark.

After having L laying on top of me during the night and fidgeting, I didnt get a lot of sleep. I was a little bit relieved when she fell out of bed at 4am as I was able to let the blood return to my legs and get up to start the long long day.

I took this photo in the dark in the early hours. I think I could have got a much better shot but I was worried about my camera being too noisy. Sounds silly now, but it sounded so loud to me.

We took J to work at 6:30 with all the girls in the back in their PJs. We came back in time for a quick brekkie and got to school 45 mins early so the girls could have a group shot done while the school photographer was there. Well that was the plan but L decided she wanted to hold on to my leg instead. Can't wait to see those shots ;-)

Dropping J to work meant we had the car for the day so we got to attend Messy Play. Not been for months and L got right stuck in by painting herself red to her armpits.

After school E had her horseriding lesson. Still lacking in confidence, my mum came to watch her. If we can cope with the rush of an early dinner, I think this new lesson will work much better for her.


By the time we got J from work M was actually crying with tiredness. She got into bed and sobbed herself to sleep poor love. I followed to bed shortly after.
