When it's good, it's really good!

[NotaDisneyMum]

DD and DSS are in the garden, playing hockey with a marble and two garden canes - their laughter is echoing through the house

That is all

That is lovely.

You have to cherish these moments of joy and remember them when it gets tough !

:) good news.

SoUnds perfect! I'm full of optimism for a good weekend with all 4 kids.
It feels just like a summer evening here!

Really pleased to hear that NADM.

I had a nice day the other day, I realised if I wanted a more cheerful time I would just bloody well go on and organise it even if DSS is in a grouch, asked a friend over with her kids. DSS was just brilliant with them (they're younger than him so he was all helpful and wise) and he had a really good evening.

It's great when they laugh
