Kids free day

Yesterday was a public holiday here in Japan (Shubun no hi - Spring Day). It is a day for the admiration of nature and the love of living things. So everyone in my family had a day off.

Mako and I had a plan to go into town to do some shopping. We were brave and thinking of taking 3 of the kids with us. But we thought maybe our little sister Shinobu might be crazy enough to agree to look after all 5 kids (including her own 2) and she was!!

So we went out just the two of us and spent a whole day shopping like crazy people!
What a great relaxing day for us!! And the kids were all happy playing together when we got home.

Runa (10 years old) told me she put Oliver to sleep and fed him some lunch too!

Kids free = Stress free day : )
