We have survived another week of the summer holidays! If I listed all the things we have been doing it would probably sound like we’ve been having a lovely time, and there have been some fun times but I’d be lying if I didn’t also tell you there there has been a lot of squabbling and quite a lot of shouting (mostly from me) too!

Well we have survived the first week of the summer holidays – even if it hasn’t actually been a full week! Like the rest of the country we’ve been having some crazy weather with temperatures reaching 34°C on Thursday and then pouring rain for the last few days! Read more
I’m a bit late with my Living Arrows post this week, but I didn’t take any pictures of Toby last week so I thought I might as well wait and use his ‘last day of Year 1’ photo for this week’s post. Toby finally broke up for the summer holidays today and he was definitely ready for it – it’s been a struggle to get him out of bed and ready to go the last week or two. Read more
Last week was all about Toby’s birthday in our house (and a bit about Gabe’s too even though it’s not for another 5 weeks!) On Thursday Toby turned 6 years old and he has been totally spoilt with presents and a brilliant party yesterday. Read more
This last week has seen us creeping closer to the school holidays. Gabe had a leavers’ party at nursery (even though he’s got another two weeks to go) – I wasn’t sure he was going to want to go as it wasn’t on one of his usual nursery days, but in the end he did and he really enjoyed it from what I could gather!

So, here we are at week 26, halfway through the year! Last week Gabe enjoyed his second taster session at school, and Toby was a superstar performing in his class assembly. They’re both still so tired though – we’re definitely on the countdown to the holidays here! Read more
I can’t believe there are only four weeks of the summer term left! Gabe had his first taster session last week, and really enjoyed himself by all accounts. He told me he ‘played with LEGO and dinosaurs, listened to a story, had a drink of blackcurrant, drew a picture, got a sticker…and had a wee’. Sounds like all the important bases were covered!

Another week done – I can’t believe we’re almost half way through the year already! After our long half term the boys had a full week back at school and nursery last week, and despite having just had a holiday they seemed to be very tired and emotional this weekend. Read more
Wow, I’m super late with this week’s Living Arrows post! Since my last posthalf term has been and gone, although Toby and Gabe only went back to school and nursery today. We had a fairly quiet first week; a trip to a play centre, a meal out for my birthday, a visit to the dentist, a visit to my mum and dad’s house where my brother and sister-in-law were staying, and Toby and I went swimming while Gabe had a day at nursery. Actually, when I write it all down it doesn’t seem quiet at all! Read more
