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.

I don’t know what it’s been like where you are but it feels like it hasn’t stopped raining for weeks up here on the Fylde coast! We’ve had some very soggy school runs, although I have to admit we have been taking the slightly drier option of using the car.

It’s another late Living Arrows post from me this week – mostly because I didn’t have any pictures to use! We really haven’t been up to much recently, just getting through the days with two very tired boys…

Is it just me or are the weeks absolutely flying past at the moment? It feels like the boys only just went back to school but it’s October tomorrow already and we break up for half term in less than three weeks!

Well after last week’s post, and in fact a lot of the posts over the summer where I was struggling with the boys’ behaviour and squabbling, I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to hear we’ve had a much better week all round!

We’re definitely back into the school routine here, and after all the tears from Gabe on his first few days at school, last week was much more successful. He is doing full days now too and apart from being absolutely shattered he seems to be enjoying it.
