We are almost there. The boys have only got three more days of school to go, and one of those is mostly going to be spent at the panto! They are both exhausted though so I’m glad we’re on the home stretch now.

Another week has flown by and we’re another week closer to Christmas and then the end of the year. This week the boys have had more nativity rehearsals, I did a bit of Christmas crafting, it was the school Christmas fair and we ended the week with putting the tree up and a visit to Nana and Grandad.

I’m super late with this week’s Living Arrows post. This always seems to happen as we get towards the end of the year but I don’t think I’ve missed a week for at least a couple of years so I’m not about to start now!

After another normal week in the Toby Goes Bananas house we did something a bit different on Saturday night. After tea we got the boys into their pyjamas but then put their onesies on top, got them into coats and hats and walked into town for our local Christmas lights switch on.

How are we over half way through November already? I think this time of year always go so fast though because as soon as Halloween is done everyone starts looking to Christmas and it’s here before you know it!

I can’t believe it’s Monday again already – are the weeks just flying for anyone else at the moment? I feel like I’m a bit of a stuck record with these posts sometimes – mostly our weeks are the same from one week to the next!

It’s not very long since I wrote last week’s Living Arrows post so this is going to be a quick one. I’ve just noticed we’re on week 44 already – how are there only 8 weeks left until the end of the year?!

After a lovely half term break, Toby and Gabe are now back at school. I love this half term with all the build up to Christmas – I can’t wait for this year’s nativity, it’s the only time they’ll do it together as it’s only Key Stage 1 that do one at their school. But anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself, back to half term!

Last week Toby and Gabe finished school on Thursday. They had an inset day on Friday so half term started early for us. On Friday morning we packed up the car and headed up to the Lake District for the weekend.
