Last weekend was a good one, I left off my last weekly post when the boys had friends over. It was a really good day and the boys all played great. Aria joined in too. Having friends over for the kids is something I struggle with since I’m at work often and the weekends are filled with football and family time. I do feel a lot of mummy guilt over this, but I do the best I can. I even captured a lovely photo of Lucas on Friday, he’s a bit more difficult to catch on camera these days, but I really like this one.
Saturday I went and met the lovely Jennifer from MamaFurFur at a cafe and we chatted for what seemed like hours. It was so good to finally meet her after chatting on Twitter for a long time. We are travelling down to BlogOn together. Having lots in common with work, blogging and living in the same town certainly made things easier. We are both looking forward to going. In the evening Robert and I went out for dinner and to the cinema. A bit of adult company and being together was just what the doctor ordered. Robert had been feeling a bit stressed out with work and football club stuff, he needed some cheering up. So we went to Chiquitos for some food and cocktails and then to see Blockers, a comedy film, which was funny. It was a nice evening.
Sunday the boys and Robert went to watch hashtag united game which is one they watch online. They really enjoyed it and then they went to be mascots for a charity match. They didn’t quite enjoy it as much as they thought, but it was an experience. While the boys were out, Aria and I had a girl day together. We went to the cinema to watch Peter Rabbit. I enjoyed it, but Aria wasn’t as keen. There didn’t seem to be enough singing and dancing in it for her. She did, however, love The Greatest Showman. She knows what she likes that one. We did a bit of shopping and she got some nail varnish. We painted our nails and she went to bed before the boys came in. It was a lovely wee day.
Monday it was back to work. The kids did some crafting with my mum and then Tuesday I had the day off work. We did some baking, made some bracelets and did some crafts. You can check out some of our Flower Crafts, we even made a windmill. Tyler had training that night and Lucas joined in as they were short players.
Wednesday the kids went to Robert’s mum and dad’s and had the best day out ten pin bowling and out for dinner with them and their cousins. Such a fab day they had. Lucas had football training in the evening.
Thursday when I was at work, I was typing away on my laptop and looked out the window and saw the most incredible sight. I saw the baby deer in the photo above. It was beautiful. I work in a built-up area, but there is surrounding woodland. How adorable is Bambi?
Both Robert and I were off work Friday. I had some supermarket shopping and chores to do, while Robert was doing some football things with Lucas. Tyler was at his friends. We got a few things done, something’s we have to do these not so fun tasks. Purchasing a few items for Lucas up and coming school residential trip, sob! Friday evening we watched Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone together which was a great way to end the week.
This weekend Lucas has a football match tomorrow. Let’s hope it stays dry. We are also off to the Wallace Monument on Sunday. What are your plans for the weekend? How was your week been? Are you enjoying the Easter holidays? 
What a packed week! #MySundayPhoto
What a collection of lovely smiles… everyone looks happy with the weeks events.
Great photo of the deer too. I love to have them come to visit.
Have a great Sunday 😀
The kids are knackered having either had busy days out or busy days at daycare all week – it’s been meltdown central here over the past day or two. But they’ve been good overall. I think they’ll treat the return to school as something of a break!
Ah so I’ve missed another Blog on! One day I’ll get to one. Love the deer, it looks like a Roe Deer. Hope the football went well and enjoy the Monument tomorrow.
I think it sounds like you do tonnes with the kid’s so no need for mummy guilt. I also with the Easter hols haven’t seen Aiden’s friends from nursery and keep thinking I must arrange a play date. That is a lovely photo of Lucas, my boy has taken to often not wanting his photo taken so know how tricky it is. #365
The deer photos are beautiful. And happy kids!
How is Lucas going on a solo residential trip? Eek! But I’m sure he’ll love it. I can’t wait to see you at BlogOn, it’s been soooo long. And so cool you have deer visiting you at your office!
My girls can’t wait to get back to school not sure I ever felt like that haha! Fab shots. I was going to BlogOn sadly can’t make it due to ill health gutted I’m missing it fab conference #mysundayphoto
It sounds like you and the kids have had a lovely few days. Looking forward to seeing you at BlogOn! It’s not long now. x
What a beautiful visitor you had. It sounds like you’ve had a good week.
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I love the kids photo’s, the boys are growing up fast now and your little princess is adorable as ever. I love that you managed to catch a photo of deer outside your window. We have lots of grassland around here but I’ve never seen a deer.
Have a great weekend x
That deer is stunning. We headed to an NT property yesterday and today we are finally seeing Peter Rabbit
What a busy week Susan. It’s a shame when they reach the “I’m too cool for photos stage”
That’s a lovely photo of the deer. Amazing being that close to wild animals.

How lovely to look out and see the deer! Looking forward to seeing you at Blogon.
Great deer captures and your children are always delighful.
Wowsers – what fabulous photos! Thank you so much for linking up to #SilentSunday xx
It sounds like you had a really fun week….
Gorgeous photos, I really love the deer one’s x
Seeing deer in the wild always feels rather special to me. Gorgeous capture of Bambi x
Busy week, but sounds like lots of fun. We loved Peter Rabbit – but then N has always liked PR. I didn’t dare take him to the Greatest Showman – think he’d get bored. Will have to watch it myself at some point though
You’ve been busy! Great pictures. #silentsunday
no school holidays for me here these days, but i have enjoyed having Peter at home for a long weekend for Eid Al Miraj. sounds like it’s been a lovely week and nice that you and Robert managed some time together and got some jobs done
Amazing pictures of the deer! #365
So lovely that you have someone to travel to Blog On with! I am definitely going now – given myself a pep talk – so it will be lovely to see you x
It is difficult to arrange play dates when you work. I always feel guilty that little man can only have friends here on a Monday. Bambi is gorgeous, how lucky are you to have seen that and at work. I hope the football match was a success. Thank you for linking up to #pointshoot 📷 also popping in from #keepingitreal
awww lovely full of happiness X #pointshoot
So pleased you are coming down for BlogOn – you’ll have to introduce Mama Fur Fur to us 🙂
Hi Susan, don’t be too hard on yourself with Mum guilt. Just think by not having too many sleepovers you are keeping it special for your children! How lovely that you have a fellow blogger to travel to BlogOn with. I hope you have a fab time. Okay, I am a tad jealous!.. You have to laugh when we enjoy a children’s film more than the children. I remember loving Happy Feet, but my two were very unimpressed… Seeing that deer would have made my day. I got excited when I saw my first swallow of the year whilst at work.
Thank you for linking up with #keepingitreal.

Busy busy week. Nice for them to spend time with their cousins and their grandparents, valuable family time.
Glad you had a night out together, you deserve some down time.
Brilliant capture of the deer. I remember being at a homeopathy appointment and watching a fox out of the window behind the women, and was so tempted to whip out my phone and photograph it.
What a wonderful weekend! These kids are so cute. They really had fun!
