    Nai Nice glass of red tonight? Crack a decent bottle? Or a bubble bath?

    Lovely moments of joy everyone. I love them all!

    Mine for today...

    1: hot cross bun, fresh from the oven with lashings of butter.

    2: taking DD for her two yo check up and being told by the MCHN that she is a "delight of a child".

    Watching DS and the joy he takes when the dishwasher finishes. He drags a chair over to the drawers, fetches the cutlery holder out of the dishwasher and takes great care in putting the cutlery (minus the sharps don't worry) in the right places all up the same way. He plays with the spoons here and there but replaces them all the right way.

    Great post! x

    My moment right now, my DS 4years and my DD 2 years, both sitting down with my niece doing craft. Quiet and content
    Later it will be hectic before dinner time, but enjoyable again as Wednesday nights are mine and my DH night out.

    I think every parent needs a balance of enjoyable moments to go with those terrible moments

    I got a haircut and I love it! It's been the same for a long time, but today I got a fringe cut in and my hair is in a bob! Feeling the joy right there that I was brave enough to do it

    Mine for today has been my boys playing together having a ball with lots of laughter and fun that didn't end in fighting or someone crying, usually the littlest boy, or getting hurt.

    Hell no! Gotta spread the joy, that's the point!


    Another one for today (and you will think I am nuts) but I got a big kick out of cleaning out all DD1's old clothes, getting rid of all the 2s and and the scody stuff and washing, folding and putting away all the new winer clothes we bought together for her yesterday.

    I have discovered I can get just as good a kick out of retail therapy, even if I am not buying things for me! lol

    You made me grab my Iphone to make sure that wasn't in our game - Whew, although your 60 pointer is mighty impressive babe!!

    Mine today - watching DS's face light up as I printed off a poster of his beloved Murray (Wiggles) and blue-tak'd it to his bedroom wall, he kissed it goodnight - gorgeous!!!

    Today's moment... visiting a friend at her house, I'd taken a bag of toys as she doesn't have kids yet, only to see DD and DS peering out the window together watching the man installing their new grey water tank - apparently much more interesting than the boring toys. Very cute!

    Until DD pushed DS out of the way

    Nai - is DP ok???
