Is it bed time yet?

I'm shattered. Absolutely pooped. Alton Towers with 2 and 1/2 kids (can't count the baby, as she only woke up for 20mins) and my legs hurt more than any tab or squad run, I was forced to do in the Royal Navy!! Where do they get their energy?!

Kids are mental!! They got up early, hardly slept on the journey and then didn't stop, for 5 hours!! I can't even blame sugar, as we are horrible Parents and took a picnic!  I'm sorry, but I can't afford to feed one person in there, let alone toddlers with bottomless pits, as stomach's !!

We went from Postman Pats parcel delivery, to the Go Jetters flying thing, to the Peter Rabbit hippy hop, back to Pats parcel car thing, to the Octonauts rollercoster and then back to the Go Jetters! All while Mr bloody Tumble played in the background. I will be hearing "Hello Hello, how are you?" in my bloody nightmares, for at least a week.

Since we've got back, they've been playing "ride attendant". Asking us to show them our height bands, before we have to sit on the sofa with our arms up, as they bring the safety rail down. We then have to act out the ride. What did I do to deserve this?!? I've walked 10,000 miles, listened to Mr Tumble and driven Pats round, 3 times... Please. I just wanna have a brew in peace, before I'm up all night with the baby, as she slept in the pram all day. Only waking once, to have her arse changed by the Peter rabbit ride (because I'm lazy and didn't wanna walk round looking for the baby changing, I just whipped the nappy off, while taking pictures of the other two on the ride!!)

They've gone to bed, with no fight and I'm pretty sure they're already snoring. The baby is awake and cooing away and I'm looking forward to being woken at 6am (This is me hoping and dreaming, as I'm sure I will be up at 3am, with the baby) and forced to ride their imaginary Theme Park ride, while Daddy relaxes at work!! 

As exhausted as I am, we had a great day and they loved it. We have Merlin Passes, so it won't be our last visit but for now, anyone wanna take two toddlers off my hands for about week, while I sleep?!?
