This week has been a mixed bag! We are all still struggling with the lurgy that the girl gave us all. It has totally wiped me out and I have constantly bloodshot eyes! That said, I have made progress on the dissertation. Not enough, but definitely a start. This week I have no childcare, so I won't be able to get stuck in at all. We have had a good weekend though. On Saturday we went to my Grandma's to watch the Grand National. On Sunday we went for a walk around Embsay reservoir, which was a wonderfully easy walk with the kids but got us out and about and we had fun spotting toads!
Here is what has made me happy this week...

- I bravely decided the kids could do some painting and I have to admit that I joined in too.
- The girl did what she does best and got incredibly messy! She had fun though.
- This amazingly atmospheric sky! Somehow we managed not to get wet! It was a wonderful walk around Embsay reservoir, which I shall post a full write up of soon.
- Watching these toads. They were everywhere and travelling in twos. The one on the top is considerably smaller than the other, so we assumed they were all carrying their young!
- The boy's excitement when he saw these bunny footprints at school on his last day! Although it did prompt me to write this post on the Easter bunny.
- Making our own Easter eggs. Who knew it would be so easy?
- My new handbag. I ordered this direct from the shop and my uncle brought it back from Goa from me!
- I am excited to try these zipzicles, they are reusable ice pop containers. So we can fill them with smoothies and the kids can have them frozen once the weather warms up!
- The lambs have finally arrived up at the childminder's house. Although they were rather a long way away in the field, so I couldn't get a close-up!
- My kids on their bikes. I love how in sync they are even without looking at each other. Obviously the boy won the race, because he has pedals!
