Dorothy the Dinosaur's dance party.....

The big build up, all week, to tonight was the fact Dorothy the Dinosaur was coming to town... anything we needed to do, she had to do or else she wasn't going to see Dorothy... and it worked... (although - I wasn' t the only mother using that tactic.... another mother at the festival tonight told her daughter that Dorothy couldn't come until she'd done wee's....)

We decided to arrive early, knowing that the night was going to be packed... we got some seats - and put blankets down on the ground for the kids..... apparently this doesn't actually mean anything to any of the other indecent mothers who turned up late and pushed the blankets away and then sat down....

Waiting for the show...

Jade looking really thrilled at the whole waiting process.....

Marcus always seems excited!

Jade dancing on my lap.....

We ended up resorting to all 3 kids dancing on people's laps so that they could see... cause more and more people just kept pushing infront of us - and standing infront of us (adults too) - some people just have no manners..... but the kids didn't really care at the end of the day.... Jade managed to do most of the dances on my lap... and she was happy with that.. and every now and then she'd sit on my chest.... (yes... apparently i'm a chair!)

Anyway, it's been a long day - and I need sleep... signing off....
