Birthday week, that is. Just in case you missed it the last 3 years when I have said it: if you have a choice, maybe don't have ALL 3 of your children's birthdays fall in the space of a week. The frenetic (and not always good) energy that accompanies so much party planning, expectation, organisation and sugar consumption could probably power much of Scotland this week. That said, we are half way through day 1 and I haven't cried yet, so I suppose that is an improvement on previous years.

Kicking off Birthday Week is wee miss animal-obsessed, tae kwan do loving Georgia, who turns 4 today. Four years old!! How that happened, I simply don't know. Happy Birthday, Cookie.
