Day 3!!

Last night wasn't fun!! I got the kids off to bed around 8. We did have a surprise visit from D and E, which are my brother n law and his wife. That was fun, and really nice. It was the after's that wasn't fun!!! Anyway, the kids were asleep, so I got to visit for a little bit. Around 10, the kids started to wake up. I ended up being up with them until after 2 am. I think that maybe their little bodies just thought that they needed a nap. They were WIDE awake. Eventually, we all got back to sleep at around 2:30, in my mother n laws front room, (big slumber party), and we did so without waking my in-laws up...thank goodness.

This morning, I woke everyone up pretty early. We had a nice breakfast then headed up to London on the train. We spent the day at Crystal Palace Park. It was a beautiful day today. 65 and sunny. I have realized that i didn't pack enough warm clothes for the kids, but they aren't really complaining. Anyway, Crystal Palace Park has life size dinosaurs all over it! The kids thought that was great. We had a picnic lunch, and then let them play for a while as we waited for the petting zoo to open. The kids loved that too, Although Liam was frightened of the pigs!! We ended the afternoon with an ice cream and then headed back to the train for our trip home. Did I mention that this was during rush hour, with two very sleepy boys that I was trying to keep awake? Other than poor Callum having a horrible melt down, that i will blame on jet lag, we had a wonderful day!! We came home, had dinner and i did some school work with the kids. Alex did explain to me on several occasions that it is summer, and she didn't feel that she should have to do school work, but that didn't stop me:0) We should have nice weather again tomorrow, but the weekend isn't looking so good!! Hope everyone is having a great week!! I wish that I could post pics, but I don't have my camera cord!! Sorry!!
