I’m back to my old ways this week, waiting until the end of the week to write my Living Arrows post. I actually took these pictures last week but then never got round to posting them!
We’ve been back in the school routine this week and enjoying the lovely weather we’ve been having. Hopefully it will stick around for the bank holiday weekend!
I mentioned last time about Gabe’s wobbly teeth – he’s lost two since then, but the top front one is still hanging on for the moment!
Toby has got his first big chapter book as his school reading book and it’s lovely to see him getting stuck into it. I always had my head in a book when I was his age, although I didn’t have any of the distractions of technology that the boys have so I’m glad we’ve still managed to encourage them to love reading too.
We haven’t got many plans for this weekend – Barry is away for a few nights of peace and quiet on his own in Northumbria so me and the boys are going to see my mum and then have a bit of chill time at home I think. I hope you have a lovely weekend whatever you’re up to.
This is my ninth year taking part in this linky celebrating childhood, based on a poem by Kahlil Gibran, “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” .

It’s so nice to see kids getting into books. What’s Toby reading? It looks like a huge book! x
It’s called Who Let the Gods Out? – it’s a modern story but somehow connected to Greek gods and mythology from what I can gather 🙂
Hope you have had a great bank holiday weekend. That’s an epic book, it’s lovely when they get stuck into a good one isn’t it? Hope the teeth are all okay and that it’s come out x
Hope you have had a great bank holiday weekend. That’s an epic book, it’s lovely when they get stuck into a good one isn’t it? Hope the teeth are okay and it’s fallen out now x
I love it when they find a book that hooks them in! Gabe is looking very grown up in this photo! x
