My birthday began at 12 mn when I came home from work and went to the basement to empty the tumble drier, as I was doing that I heard the dreaded sound of drip drip drip . We have been renovating the basement and they had crimped a pipe, but was now leaking. So I woke James up and we were hunting around with head torches to find the leak. Eventually we found it, got a bucket and turned the water off. So then I was getting ready for bed and i hear the sounds of tiny footsteps and the door to Heather's bedroom opening, she scrambled into our bed eager to ask if it was my birthday yet, she proceeded to then tell me about the big yellow cake that she had bought and a pressie in a nice bag. I told her that the sooner she gets to sleep the sooner it will be my birthday and that she should keep the cake as a surprise for the morning!! Two hours it took her to get back to sleep with her arm wrapped round my neck !!!
That day we went to see some horses with the kids in Banff and then went to an outdoor hot tub, the weather had got cold and as we got into the hot tub it started to snow. The kids loved it and Heather is really enjoying the water at the moment, ducking under and trying to see what she can see with her goggles on. We followed that with a nice lunch at one of the hotels which was lovely. then home for a late afternoon movie for the kids.So all in all it was a nice family day.
