Accidents, Girly Days And Haircuts Our Weekly Photos – Week 31

What an eventful week this has been. After I typed my weekly photos post last week, we ended up with a trip to A&E. Tyler was having fun outside playing on his little sister’s bike, he fell off, which would have been fine, but Lucas was racing him and crashed into him when he fell. His wheel ran over Tyler’s head. Cue lots of hysterical screaming, that was just Lucas who hadn’t even been hurt. Tyler was shaking like a leaf gripping on to a branch in a strong wind. We got him checked over and thankfully, nothing was broken. He had a huge lump at the side of his head, a bloody elbow, knee, bruise at the front of his head you can see above, but the problem was he had a gaping hole in the back of his head with blood oozing its way down his neck. A wee trip to minor injuries, some glue, a few hugs and no concussion later, we were good to head home. It was the first time that any of the kids have been really hurt and required a hospital visit so that was good going but explains the reaction given. Aria, well… she is going through a “phase” shall we say? She was screaming that Tyler had broken her bike. He didn’t, but she was adamant. Turned out he broke the reflector. Yes, the reflector, the one she would never need as she is 6 and not allowed out in the dark! Anyway, all was good in the end. With the exception of a very bruised Tyler on Saturday morning.

After an eventful Friday, we chilled on Saturday morning. I went into Glasgow to the GOMA museum for my Glasgow writing group. It is always lovely to meet up with everyone, hear how they are doing and I got some really helpful and insightful feedback on my work. I am really grateful to the group. In the evening Robert was out with some friends and the kids and I watched some tv together. Aria and I watched Spy Kids while her brothers played some Fifa. Once she was in bed, Tyler and I watched some Netflix, we enjoyed Family Reunion together and chilled for a bit.

Sunday was saw Aria, Tyler and I do some rollerskating. It is just at Glasgow Intu Braehead for the summer. If you are close by, I’d recommend a visit. It was so much fun. I hadn’t roller skated in years and I used to love it back in the ’80s.  Aria and Tyler enjoyed it, but Robert and Lucas couldn’t even stand. We didn’t stay too long as I was wary of Tyler’s head. We hope to go back next week before it ends.

Then, came Monday morning. Back to work and the boys had Football camp. Tyler had a great week there. Lucas enjoyed it too. Aria was enjoying her break from the boys it seemed. On Tuesday, after we dropped the boys at football we headed down to the shopping centre. We got our hair cut. I got a lot cut off mine, but it needed it. My health recently has really taken its toll on my hair and it felt horrible. Don’t even get me started on my skin, it’s all red, sore and covered in spots. My hair felt great and I spoke to the hairdresser lady about my issues and treated myself to some new products to help. Then, we got our nails painted. Aria has always wanted to have them done. We rarely get any one on one time that we can do these things since she started school. It was a wee treat and she loved them as you can see above. She picked the colours for both of us. What do you think? I also bought some stuff to help my skin. Coming home we had a lovely day, but I felt so guilty about spending the money on myself. I know I shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help it. I did feel better with my hair and hopefully, the skin will improve. Anyway, what do you think?

Wednesday and Thursday were back to work. It was so hot in the office and I was out at a few clients both days. I have struggled with work a lot recently, but Aria enjoyed being spoiled by her Gran and Granpa and playing with her cousins and their new wee puppy. She ended up grounded for the first time ever for not coming in and running away. Phase right? The boys enjoyed football and were both at training in the evening too. Thursday, was Robert’s nephews birthday and we headed to Robert’s sister’s to have some birthday dinner and a delicious cake to celebrate.

I was glad we got to Friday, although I’d had such a busy few days I hadn’t finished all the work I needed to do and had loads of blog stuff to catch up with too. Aria was playing outside most of the day, so I managed to make a small dent. The boys got to meet a football legend and came home on a high with signed shirts and boots. Aria is still going through a being horrible to everyone phase, here’s hoping it’s the heat and tiredness, right?

Robert and I are both off next week so it’s the start of our holidays. We aren’t going away, but doing some fun things like Go Karting, skating, cinema, etc. Things we want to do with the kids on their last full week of the summer holidays. It has flown by. They have three days off left, by the time we go back to work. I need to get the uniforms sorted too. I think I have most of it but need to do the stamping of the names, hanging up, etc. I’m looking forward to a nice week off. Hopefully, fit in some editing, yes, editing now of my novel.

How has your week been? Are summer holidays going well?
