Grateful Saturday - Joel

This Saturday I am grateful for my children.
They are the light of my life and they are my happy place.
I wrote the other day how I was in awe of four .


  1. They play together , more cooperatively and interact well with less intervention from me.
  2. It means I can sit down 'clean' for longer periods.
  3. I love the random conversations with them and how funny they are.

Aww, cute! Mr C who is nearly 2 has taken to singing at the top of his voice: "h-py birfday to ou - HOO-WAY"
