Half term is over (well it will be tomorrow – Toby has an INSET day today) and I have to admit we’ve not had the most exciting of weeks. The weather was pretty awful for the first part of the week – we did manage our first ever trip to the library so hopefully we’ll keep that up, and on Wednesday we went to the shop where we got our wedding cupcakes from to get Valentine’s cupcakes for us all.

Siblings // Toby and Gabe in February (2018)

Crazy brothers giggling together

After January lasting for an eternity we seem to have got to the middle of February remarkably quickly! When I wrote last month’s Siblings post Toby had only been back at school a week and it’s already half term!

Living Arrows 4/53 (2018)

Toby enjoying his ice cream

It’s been a quiet week here – the weather has been horrible, pretty much constant rain, so we haven’t done much. Gabe and I made it to stay and play at our local gymnastics gym on Wednesday – I used to take both boys but we haven’t been since the summer. Gabe really enjoyed himself so we’ll definitely make an effort to go again. Read more
