Beltane Blessings

Things that are making me smile today:

My boy telling me 'a big four year old is coming in' before he enters the kitchen
My littlest girl snuggling in and giving me a great big bear hug
My biggest girl asking me to help her find ways to relax and de-stress (she's cracked the concept fifteen years before I did...)
Making Beltane crowns for the children at Forest School

Sharing a sunny morning in the woods and dancing around the Maypole (well, more like crawling, really. One in the sling and one on my back, threading his may ribbon around my neck. Maybe I'm lying about the smiling with this one. It was a nice idea.)
Singing spring songs
Watching all of the children making cards for Daddy's birthday - even the tiniest girl can draw a picture (of sorts...) now

Things that would make me smile more:

Not having just burned the pitta breads so that they now resemble bullets and have to go straight in the bin.
Getting some sleep. Any amount would be an improvement on the last three weeks. 
Having two minutes to write a blog post without having one child on my lap trying to dismantle the computer and the other standing on the chair behind me, apparently trying to break my neck in a very loving way.
Not being yelled at and made demands of constantly for hours and days on end.


Hmm, I feel very much in need of those ways of relaxing and de-stressing myself at the moment! Breathe. Breathe more. Does anyone have a contact number for Mary Poppins?

Beltane Blessings to you all, sending love and attempting positive thoughts!xxx
