Well, we’ve made it through our first full week of home school / remote learning or whatever you want to call it. As I mentioned last week the boys are relatively happy to get on with the work that their teachers set each day but they both need a lot of help with most things – I’ve no idea how parents who are trying to work themselves are managing it, because for me it’s almost a full time job!

Well, things have changed again since last week’s post haven’t they? I think we probably all knew another lockdown was coming but I thought we might get a few more days before they announced it. The boys managed to get back to school on Monday – they were happy they got to see their friends for one day at least!

Here we are again – Week 1 of Living Arrows for the eighth time now! Before I start I just wanted to say thanks to Donna at What the Redhead Said for continuing to host this linky and to all the people who come and read these posts each week. I’m really hoping that as this year goes on we’ll have some more exciting adventures to share but for now things are carrying on in much the same way as most of 2020…

So here we are. The last Living Arrows post of 2020. When I wrote my first post of the year back in January, like the rest of us, I had no idea what was to come.

Well, we made it to the end of term, now I’m just crossing everything that we don’t get a message to say either of the boys has to self-isolate this week. We don’t have any big plans but still being in Tier 3 we’re hoping to see my mum, dad and brother on Christmas Day. With the way things are at the moment though anything could change in the next 5 days couldn’t it?

Have you got itchy feet? Are you bored of your home? Considering we’ve all spent so much of our time staring at our own four walls this year, it’s no wonder that we might be feeling a little sick of them.

My boys have loved Super Mario for ages now, and when they got a Nintendo Switch for their birthdays in the summer they couldn’t wait to start playing Mario games themselves. One of their favourites is Mario Kart, so when we were offered the chance to review Mario Kart Live Home Circuit I knew they would love it!

Although we haven’t done much of anything at home for the last week, the boys have been doing lots of Christmassy things at school. Last week they even had a flying visit from Father Christmas who arrived in an actual helicopter!

Barry and I met in 2010 and got married two years later so this year we celebrated our eighth anniversary. Your eighth wedding anniversary might not sound as exciting as your tenth or fortieth initially, but it’s just as important to many couples. Eight years together is no small feat, and it’s a sign that you’re well on your way to an eternity in each other’s arms.
