Just thinking

Was just thinking back to the holiday week. We went bowling and Eilidh and Christie helped the boys with their balls and it made life a lot easier while Caroline and I just chatted and made Cole laugh. It just made me realise just how grown up the girls are now that we're 7 years on. I remember when Caroline and I used to car share to go places with the girls and how much fun it was. Then we still sort of car shared with Murray. But when Cal came along we had to start going separately but the girls liked to go in each other's car. It's just amazing how much time has gone past and how things move on with considerable ease.

I'm definitely finding things easier now Murray and Eilidh can relate to each other more and although they still fight they do get on pretty well. I often can do a spur of the moment trip with them both and we don't need to think of things as much as I used to. People tend to forget that I used to have to have millions of changes of clothes for Murray and that I needed to ensure we were going somewhere that he could eat something which wouldn't cause a reaction. I've also been there that I have had 2 children to organise to go out and get sorted with. People just tend to look at me now and think I don't understand. But instead of complaining I got on with it. Caroline has 3 children and gets on with things great. I really take my hat off to her as it's hard enough with 2 never mind 3 with one being a baby.

Also been looking back on memories of childhood too. My friend Laura is moving to Kirkcaldy so I am excited about getting the train through to meet up with her and visit some places in fife. Fife holds great memories for me as it is where I used to holiday every year. I'd love to take my kids through and show them these places too.

Anyway looks like the washing machine is broken so best get on with trying to find out where I can get a new part for David to sort.
