    I took a lazy day to the next level and me and youngest had a nap this afternoon :o weather isn't sunny today but definitely a lot milder than it has been and dry!

    Smalls home from school. We have to make an Easter bonnet for homework.

    Some sort of chicken and pasta for dinner with all the last ends of salad. Enough left over for tomorrow's pack lunch too. Means I can get bread from the supermarket tomorrow rather than the corner shop in the morning.

    Hoping we all can have an early night tonight.

    Thank you for stopping in :)
