Tuesday 25th July

All three of them in a pod!

Managed to get through the day with minimal bickering, so off to get a Mcflurry we went, after tea. Amazing that peace and harmony can be reached at such minimal cost as 1 euro and 90 centimos a piece!! This is what I call good value for money. They even gobbled up their salad quickly, without the usual moaning and groaning. I've promised a repeat trip tomorrow if they can behave nicely again.
The girls are still raving about their ponies, and it is so nice to see them so enthusiastic about something constructive, instead of obsessing about their sticker collections.
Lucy is still loving having them here, although it feels abit wierd for me because I don't have so much time with her, because she is either chasing her sisters about, or they want me for something.
Hop is having a really strenuous week at work and I could see that he just wanted to unwind a bit when he came in, so I let them play in the playhouse thingy at Macdonalds after their ice-creams. I swear they could hear Lucy laughing in Las Americas! She had an absolute whale of a time, once Emma showed her the way. Not a very clear photo, but it shows some of the exhuberant scampering and capering that went on!
I feel absolutely exhausted, but it is so hot at night, I don't think either me or Hop have slept properly all week. Emma, on the other hand rattles the windows with her snoring. Unbelievable racket!
