Pancakes, birthdays and more spots

So we've had a run of the mill week. Jessica went back to school on Tuesday (so that she didn't have to flash her spots changing for P.E. on Monday!), and we all had pancakes for pudding. The girls weren't really up for hot pans, so they just stuck to the bit they're good at, eating (or if you're Maddy, wiping all the toppings off with your finger and giving the actual pancake to anyone who'll have it... nice!). We then had another couple of days normality before the girls were off for half-term! A long week for Jess! A visit to Harry's house, nothing much else until phone calls to Grandma and Courtney with singing a-plenty and bed.

We went to ballet classes, bumbled around for a bit and then headed off to Nana's for the night. The girls stayed there while Nick and I went for dinner to celebrate Janet's 60th birthday, and by all accounts, while we were living it up, Maddy was having her own special kind of party resulting in Nana and Grampy sleeping separately on account of the lack of room. Then last night our reasoning for such an awful night became a reality. Madeline now has the pox too so we all breathe a sigh of relief and feel better for the decision to keep the girls and Courtney separate!

Anyway, off to find the Piriton and calomine lotion!....
