I’m not going to write too much this week because, if I’m honest, I’d rather forget last week happened!
Barry was in Germany with work all week. Gabe got a temperature on Tuesday night, managed to survive a day at nursery on Wednesday (he had to, I was working), and then pretty much wouldn’t be put down, even to sleep for the next 48 hours. Thankfully my mum came to help all day on Thursday, and my dad came to the rescue at 7pm after I’d managed to break our bed (I knew there was a reason we moved to live near them!)
Anyway, Barry came home on Friday and then we both had colds and Toby got a temperature too. We all seem to be mostly recovered now but all in all it’s been a pretty rubbish week!
Gabe’s picture this week was taken at about midnight on Wednesday – it’s dark and grainy but sometimes I think it’s important we show the reality of parenthood. He had just stopped wailing and fallen asleep, while I watched Planet Earth on the iPlayer…
And I took Toby’s photo when he was sitting up on the window sill in our kitchen/diner playing with the new star I got this week. It’s supposed to be a Christmas decoration but I like it so I think we might have it there all year round.
Here’s hoping this week is a better one…
Oh such a cute piccy with the decoration, we have some lights in a pot wrapped around some twigs that have become ‘all year round’ decs.
Oh no sounds like a tough week. I agree it’s good to capture all moments of parenthood/childhood. Lovely picture of Toby X #LivingArrows
Sounds like a very tough week. I agree it’s very important to capture all aspects of parenthood. Loving Toby’s picture. Xx #livingarrows
I love Toby’s picture & poor Gabe. I have lots of dark grainy photos from the eary hours. #LivingArrows
Aw, sorry you’ve had a rough week. We’ve all been there. Hang in there mama! Hope you are all feeling better now. Love the star picture. And yes you are right – it’s good to capture all moments of parenthood. x

That photo of Toby is just so cute – and I hope Gabe’s sleep improves soon x
Oh no! That sounds like a tough week, hope you have a better one this week! #LivingArrows
Oh poor Gabe and poor you! I hope next week is better, having a poorly child is so exhausting. I love the star, I think definitely keep it up all year!
oh no I am sorry to hear that you have all been poorly. I hope everyone is better now.
I love the star, I think I would keep it up all year round too!
