So apparently going back to work pretty much full time doesn’t leave much time for anything else, especially writing blog posts! The last week seems to have flown by – with full days at school and they trying to fit everything else in in the few hours between coming home and bed time it feels like I barely have time to stop for more than five minutes!

Wow, I’m so late with this week’s Living Arrows post that it’s almost time for next week’s! The boys (and me!) went back to school on the 2nd September so we only had a couple of days that first week, and we’ve just done our first full week back.

It’s time for another quick Living Arrows post from me… I really need to get to bed because the boys (and me) are back to school tomorrow and I’m really trying to go to bed at a sensible time! I mentioned in my last post that we were about to go away for a camping weekend with friends and both of this week’s pictures were taken while we were away.

I’m super late with this week’s Living Arrows post – we had a busy week last week and then this week the boys have been having swimming lessons every lunchtime which somehow seems to make it hard to fit anything else into the day!

After our holiday two weeks ago we had a quieter week at home last week with a mixture of days at home and a few activities out of the house. To be honest the boys would quite happily just stay at home the whole time if they were allowed to just watch TV and play video games all the time but I do like to get them to do other things every once in a while!

We’ve had a very busy week since my last Living Arrows post – last Sunday we drove down to Windsor where we were staying in a hotel for a couple of nights so we could go to Legoland, then on Tuesday we made our way down to Dorset and spent the rest of the week camping…

So we’ve made it through week 2 of the holidays – only 4 more to go! Toby and Gabe are getting used to being at home together more now, so we’ve not had quite so much squabbling, and they’ve even started getting up a bit later than their usual 7 am which is a treat too!

We’re now half way through the second week of our summer holidays and I’m actually quite relieved that it’s been a bit cooler since the weekend! We really didn’t do much last week – mostly stayed at home, playing in the garden or trying to keep cool inside.

Hello! I’m back again. It’s only a few days since I wrote my last Living Arrows post but I wanted to try and get back on schedule. It’s the first day of the summer holidays here, and like much of the country it’s roasting! We are not massive lovers of the heat so at the moment we’re hiding inside with all the curtains shut…although Gabe has been asking to get the paddling pool out so I’m going to do that soon.

And so here we are, finally, on the last day of term. I know some schools don’t finish until next week but I’m very grateful that the boys break up on today. They did have to close one bubble at the boys’ school last weekend but thankfully both of mine have managed to stay in school until the last day.
