Rainbow Sky, Panto, Christmas Tree and Nativity Our Weekly Photos – Week 50

Well, since we spoke last week in my weekly post I have been dipping my toe back into social media. It was nice, I’ve missed everyone. How have you been? Last weekend was a relatively quiet one, some Christmas movies, shopping, etc Saturday. On Sunday we had a football match for Robert and Lucas team. It was a 9 am kickoff and boy was it cold. By the time it was finished, I think it took the rest of the day to heat up. Christmas card writing was the task for today. Aria was loving writing them for her little school friends. Then back out to gymnastics in the evening. All in all, a nice, but not an exciting weekend.

Monday was school and work. Aria has been working hard on learning her lines for the nativity at the end of the week. We saw a beautiful sunrise in the morning. It is so dark when I drop Lucas off at the bus stop for school, it means that I sometimes get to see the sun come up. Isn’t the rainbow sky incredible? I couldn’t believe it. This made up for scraping the ice off the car. I think that helps with the pretty colours.

The weather is still very cold come Tuesday. Tyler was doing the music for the carol singers at the school at the library and hospice. He enjoyed being at both and meeting some of the people in the hospice too. There were lots of questions when he got home. Football training is still on this week, but it’s been tough with the weather.

Wednesday, I did school hours at work so I could pick up the kids from school so we could go and see a Panto. We were invited to the opening night of Cinderella at the SEC in Glasgow. It’d been years since I’d seen a Panto. The kids go every year to a local one with the school, but it was lovely to go to a big Panto in the city. The Krankies were the stars and it was very funny, if not a bit aimed at the adult audience at times. Aria loved all the singing and there were a few The Greatest Showman tunes used, so she was found dancing in her seat. The boys thought wee Jimmy Krankie was hilarious. We all had a great night and will definitely be going again. If you get a chance, go see it especially with tweens, teens and adults. As you can see in the photos above, it was a good night. A bit of a late night, however, on a school night.

It was school and work on Thursday with Aria doing her dress rehearsal for the nativity.  Tyler got to watch it and said it was fab. It was my last day of work for a few weeks which is good, but it was a super busy day. I am looking forward to the break and don’t go back until the kids go back after the Christmas holidays. I know there will still be a few emails and calls from work, but that’s not so bad. I really need the time to actually get some Christmas organisation, gifts and birthday organisation done.

Friday morning arrived and Aria was super excited. We headed to school to watch the highlight of the festive calendar, the school Nativity. Aria was a Wiseman and she was brilliant. She said all her lines loud and clear and sung her little heart out. We were so proud. It has shown how much she has come on this last year. All the kids did brilliantly. And the staff of course.

The afternoon Robert and I went to the shopping centre. I went to get my eyes tested just to find out if they could be the eyesight issues and light sensitivity I have been experiencing with the migraines. Unfortunately, they aren’t. But, it’s good to rule it out. Sunglasses for a little while longer. We did fit in a late breakfast together before we picked the kids up from school. We have a bit of a busy weekend ahead with our work Christmas night out this evening, both Robert and I work together so we get to go to our work night out together. Robert’s mum and dad are watching the kids for us, so that’s good. We also have a football match super early tomorrow morning, if it’s not called off with the amber weather warning. Then, we have a trip to see Santa. Do you have any fun Christmas plans for this weekend?
