Baking Cupcakes, Santa, Dog And Football Our Weekly Photos – Week 48

It’s been a busy week here, how has your week been? Last weekend I left you with last week’s weekly post where we had a busy weekend too. Saturday Aria had a party for a school friend which she really enjoyed. It was nice to watch her play with her friends and really join in. She’s grown a lot in confidence this last year. She may be one of the youngest in her class, but it hasn’t stopped her. The boys helped their Dad install a new light for their Grandparents while we were away. I was supposed to be at my writing group, but we did a remote one this month. Everyone has a lot at this time of year. We had a neighbours child round for a bit in the evening to give them a bit of a break, she’s always calm here and enjoys playing with Aria.

Sunday it was a football match for Lucas. Tyler came with me was as always dressed for the occasion.  He’s always dribbling a ball at his feet as you can see in the photo. This really captures him. Aria stayed with my mum and Oreo. I did get a quick snap of Oreo before we left. He’s not really got bigger, so I think that’s about him now. I even captured him and Twilight giving each other a kiss. We watched the Netflix Christmas film, The Santa Chronicles which was really good. We all enjoyed it. A lovely way to start the festive films. Have you watched it? Gymnastics for Aria in the evening.

The weather has been cold and very wet this week, no pretty skies and so much rain. Monday, was work and school for us, football training in the evening. Nothing exciting. Tuesday, I finished work early to do the school run and help set up some stuff for the school Christmas fayre the next day. Aria and I made some cupcakes for the school fayre. She loves licking the spoon, who doesn’t. It is the best bit isn’t it? It Wednesday was a bit of am up and down day, in the evening I headed from work straight to school to help at the fayre. It was really busy and seemed to be a huge success. The kids sung at the start, there was lots of biz and buzz and Santa even arrived. Isn’t he the best Santa? Aria went to see Santa and even spoke to him which is a first. I didn’t get a nice photo of her sitting with him, but this was a huge moment and it was lovely. Lucas came to help too which was nice of him. Football training was cancelled due to the weather so that helped.

Thursday I was knackered as it was late by the time we got in from school after tidying up. It was a bit different at work on Thursday as we had a pizza lunch and handed in our secret Santa gifts due to a work colleague going to Australia for a month. Lucky him. He got to take his secret Santa gift with him. Friday was another wet day and busy trying to catch up, I’m so behind with the blog as I’ve been struggling with extra laptop time.

Football has been cancelled this weekend due to the weather which is a shame but gives Robert a well-deserved rest. On the NaNoWriMo front, I didn’t get my 50,000 words, anywhere near, but I did get some done, so it’s better than none isn’t it?

This weekend we plan to put the Christmas tree up, watch some Christmas films and shift a migraine. What about you?

    Well done on your NaNoWriMo! Writing 50,000 words sounds crazy, to even write any at all with your busy life is an achievement. I love the football photo and how cute is Oreo?! Father Christmas is amazing. He must be the real one, right?

    Fabulous photos this week, it would be hard to choose a favourite, but that is a fab Santa, I’m so glad Aria spoke to him. I hope you are feeling better now and the headaches have subsided. I have to agree, licking the spoon is the best, my three fight over it. Have a great week xx

    50,000 words is a real achievement. You must feel so satisfied. Little Aria looks like she is listening very intently to Santa, I hope Santa can find what she is after this year!

    Lovely photos.
    Whem I think of your boys I always imagine them with a football at their feet.
    It’s been wet here too. I am so sick of the rain.
    What a special moment, Aria talking to Santa.

    I have no idea how you cope with football every week, not sure I could! You’re always so busy. It sounds like Aria has come so far x
