31 December 2015

Sleep, glorious Sleep!

So the past two nights have been better.  Nowhere near going through the night yet, but at least I've really been able to switch off and konk out, as opposed to just dozing between fussing babies, waking toddlers, etc.

Yesterday we went to Holyrood Palace.  It's very much like any other grand country house you could visit, though definately smaller than the likes of Chatsworth and Castle Howard.  Very homely feeling though and crawling with guides *everywhere*!  My favorite thing was seeing the views to Holyrood Park out the back windows.  Felicity's favorite thing was rolling on the lush red carpets in the throne room and grand gallery.  Oh yes, and splashing in the gravel and puddles out back in the Holyrood Abbey - she played on the rock-bed remains of one of the pillars (basically now like 5-6 stones sitting on the ground) for almost 15 minutes.  Our tickets are good for a year, so I'll probably take the kiddos back and try to listen to more of the audio commentary when it's not quite so busy.

The spaceship bouncer

Felicity made her own bouncer out of a cushion and a plastic box



Very busy

Christmas morning!


Opening the stockings after breakfast



Moving too fast for a proper picture of the Elsa dress....

Thanks for the socks, Jean!

Totally crashed enroute to Simon's parents



And the train track that lasted all afternoon....
Titus was fascinated by the moving train (and thanks for the socks for him too, Jean!)
