We made it! It’s half term and I think we are all ready for it. The boys survived the last week of term without any drama though, apart from having to start wearing their new school shoes and Gabe complaining that his ‘felt funny’!

We have made it through another week, only 5 more days to go before we get to half term, and I think we’re all ready for the break! Toby and Gabe had a fun day at school on Friday for NSPCC Number Day, getting to wear their own clothes and doing lots of maths activities during the day.

I feel like I don’t have very much to write in these weekly Living Arrows posts at the moment. Life is just plodding on with school, work, and swimming lessons. This last week was a bit different for me though as I spent two nights in London, seeing three musicals for my Christmas present.

It’s Monday, which means it must be Living Arrows time. There’s not much to report here again this week. We’ve all got colds – well the boys and I have, Barry seems to have escaped it so far, so I’ve spent this weekend feeling a bit sorry for myself.

We’ve had another fairly standard week here. The boys are settled back into the school routine and apart from Gabe having a cold they’re both enjoying being back. The only school related drama was when it was raining at pick up time on Monday and I dared not to take Gabe’s umbrella for him!

And just like that we’re back to normal. Toby and Gabe have been back at school for a week and we’re pretty much settled back into our routine. There was a bit of grumbling from them both last week but on the whole it’s been quite stress-free.

Hello! Happy New Year and welcome to Week 1 of Living Arrows for 2020. I’ve been writing these weekly posts since the start of 2014 so I’m now heading into the seventh year of sharing a photo of each of the boys and a little bit about what we’ve been up to during the week.

So here we are, the last Living Arrows post of the year! I just want to start by saying a big thank you to Donna at What The Redhead Said for continuing to host this linky, and to everyone who reads and comments on my posts every week.

I’m writing this on Christmas Eve and Toby and Gabe are bouncing off the walls with excitement! We’ve already been out to soft play this morning to try and burn off some energy but I’m not sure it’s helped much!

We are almost there. The boys have only got three more days of school to go, and one of those is mostly going to be spent at the panto! They are both exhausted though so I’m glad we’re on the home stretch now.
