Who knew Ronan Keating would be right all along?
Life is rollercoaster. At least lockdown life seems to be.
I think it’s fair to say one minute I am up looking at all the ordinary moments like it’s the first time, seeing the magic in every detail. The next I am down, crying over making yet another meal whilst the children argue about tidying up AGAIN.
With the last of the sunshine set to be imminently replaced with a whole week of rain. Thereby threatening to change what we have all found to be our new lockdown normal…the garden life! Eddy decided to take a moment to be spontaneous.
That is as spontaneous as life under lock and key gets.
Which meant…camping in the garden.
For her 9th birthday Eva decided she wanted a sleepover. Easy right?
We’ve never actually had a sleepover at all. She likes her space when she sleeps and the closest she’s ever got is camping with Eddy and another family where she shared her tent with a friend. Yet here she was asking for not one, not two, but SEVEN of her friends to sleepover at our house. Not JUST a sleepover *insert M&S advert voiceover here*. No. A sleepover party.
