Last Sunday I had another dinner date with a friend, it was nice, but felt a bit guilty leaving the kids, they aren’t keen on me going out, especially when I’m with them all day. It’s different if I head out straight from work. I was only out a few hours and was there when the inevitable “mum” shouts come in the middle of the night.
We’d been out shopping for some new football boots for both the boys, their feet have grown and we’d put it off until the start of the new season which was today, Saturday. The boy were delighted with their boot and couldn’t wait to play.
Monday, was a tough day at work and I was glad to be home. I had some time off to make some pancakes on Tuesday, it mandatory isn’t it? We had them for all three meals. I do love pancakes as do the kids and we had a lot of fun following our traditional pancake recipe. The kids all tossed their own pancake and oldest tried to do a daddy pig and get it stuck to the ceiling, thankfully he didn’t succeed, but a lot of fun was had.
Work, school, nursery Wednesday and then on Thursday, I picked Aria up from nursery and we had a wee lunch date before heading to school for a school visit. They got to go in and get a story from one of their teachers. She went in no problem, wee star that she is. And we talked about reading, etc. I’m an old pro at this by now. Then it was after school club, which I don’t normally get to go to, which was fun.
Friday was working for me, but hubby took the boys to the wrestling in the evening which they had fun at. Tyler as a little bit wary of them, but enjoyed the show overall. This weekend it’s football and football. Oldest won his match today, Saturday and even scored. Tomorrow is Tyler’s first match of the season. It’s all go. It takes up a lot of out time at the weekend, but they love it and it’s what they want to do. Hubby runs the club now, and spend so much time coaching, learning and running the whole show. I think he does a fantastic job.
How has your week been? What have you been up to recently? Let me know in the comments below or drop me a message on my social media channels. Have a good weekend.

Well done to your oldest on winning his match and glad all went well with Aria’s school visit. Love the photos of the children tossing their pancakes 🙂
Ahh! The kids look so pleased with themselves and their pancakes…hehehe
You always have such busy weeks. Love the pancake shots, they are fab x
Love those football boots. They practically shine! Well done to your boy for scoring a goal. I’m in awe of your husband for running the club. My husband ran a team for five seasons and that was a lot of work, running the club must be even more work!
I love your photos as usual, the pancakes ones are fab! Why do we always feel guilty when we take time out for ourselves, us mums need it? x Have a great week x

Pancake day is one of our favourite of the year. Beautiful photos
Thank you for linking up
wow what fab football boots, my kids would’ve loved these when they were his age
I love that you managed pancakes for all 3 meals on Tuesday, and how adorable are the children helping to make them. Those football boots are epic, and lovely that you got an evening out with a friend. Us mums definitely need some friend time now and again x
I think Z would be very excited about new footy boots too. He loves his current bright orange ones. Sorry to hear you had a rough day at work. Hope next weeks much easier x
It looks like they had loads of fun with the pancakes – glad it didn’t get stuck to the ceiling!
Brilliant pancake photos, I love, love, love that you had them for every meal. That shows dedication 🙂 I like the football boots too, I know getting involved in children’s sports can be hugely time consuming but there’s lots of rewards for it too. Enjoy your week : )
I love pancakes too. I did have them 2 breakfasts running (to use up the leftover batter obviously!). sounds like a busy week and that Aria will get settled in well at school come the new year
I love pancakes but didn’t get chance to partake this year! #livingarrows
My daughter loves pancakes and insisted that we started early on Tuesday so I had to cook pancakes for breakfast!
Beautiful photos 🙂 I love the bright snazzy trainers 🙂

What a busy week darling and gorgeous pics, love Aria’s hair plaited and your boys are such cuties too. Gorgeous family. Love you ate pancakes in every meal too and what a star your husband is running the club. Xander is such a great little footballer but because Oliver doesn’t like it, it’s putting him off. I really want to get him into a club x
Love the fun pancake pictures. Well done having them for 3 meals in a day though – that’s dedication.
Those pancake photos are just the sweetest and I love that you had them for all three meals – we always have them instead of dinner but may have to have a hat-trick of them next year in your honour! x
Lovely photos! Those new football boots are fab 🙂 Sounds like a good week xx
Beautiful pics! Sounds like an awesome week!
funny how kids can be clingy sometimes.
Ours love their duplo bricks.
Glad they enjoyed their pancake tossing.
lovely pancake making photos – looks like you all had fun making them and then eating them! YUM! Those football boots look very jazzy. My two hate it when I go out too, it is. mot very often but there virtually cry and wont leave me alone! Jon has to prise them off me – even if I am only going for a couple of hours! x
Aw hun, how happy are your gorgeous kids huni. Thanks for linking up to #PointShoot xx

Fantastic pancakes! And those football boots are very cool! Thank you for sharing with #HappyDaysLinky x
I love those football boots – how colourful!! I think I might sign the girls up as they love a kick around with their dad. Thank you for joining in #HappyDaysLinky x
Another busy week! You deserve some time to yourself – so don’t feel guilty! I know it’s easier said than done though. Isn’t it funny how it’s harder to leave somehow when you are with them all the time? They look like amazing football boots! x
