It’s week 2 of Living Arrows for 2019 and we are back to reality with a bump! Toby went back to school on Monday and Gabe was back at nursery too. Actually, despite my fears last week they were both fine! Gabe cried a little bit when I dropped him off on Monday but just ran in the other two days he was there, and Toby was absolutely fine too. Fingers crossed it continues this week!
We haven’t done much this weekend. I think the boys needed to decompress a bit after being back at school and swimming lessons and everything else we do in a normal week.
This week’s pictures were taken in the bath yesterday – the boys only have a bath once a week (and a shower at their swimming lessons) and we always do it during the day at the weekend. It’s much less stressful for everyone than trying to squeeze it in before bedtime, and it means Toby and Gabe can stay in and play for as long as they want.

Oh these are lovely, I love a good bath photo! Hope this week at school goes as well as last week did! x #LivingArrows
The first week back to ‘normal’ after the festive season is always a tough one. I’m glad you and the boys have found your equilibrium! xTx #livingarrows
Love their smiles in the photos! I couldn’t agree more re: baths/showers. Mine shower every other day (roughly) and it works out so much better for our routine. #LivingArrows
Glad to hear they both had a good start to the new term. I love the way your boys smile with their eyes x #LivingArrows
We don’t do bedtime showers either! I totally agree about it not being worth the stress.
We tend to do bath and shower time during the day too or straight after school, I can’t stand the rush before bedtime. The boys look very happy, I hope they enjoyed their relaxed weekend x #livingarrows
We only do bath time 2-3 times a week too and then we normally do it after tea – normally messy meals too!
I think a lazy weekend sounds perfect after a week back at school. We did the complete opposite – I think it’s going to take us a while to get back into the swing of school! x
We had a lazy weekend too, Holly especially really needed it. I’m finding the weeks long and the cold weather isn’t helping x
Good idea on having a bath during the day. I may try that one as it’s always a stress here too!ovely pictures of them and glad the return to the routine went okay for you x
What lovely photos. A chilled weekend is exactly what’s needed some times.
We’re really in need of a chilled weekend, as being back in routine is quite tiring in January for them. Great cheeky bath time grin! #livingarrows
