This week has been a busy week and I’ve not had much of a chance to take photos. I did take a few and with the weather being so cold the skies have been lovely. How has your week been since I left you at last week’s weekly post?
Last Friday I had Lucas at his contact lens teaching session. It was the best session lets say, we decided to give it a break for a few weeks. To be honest, they were really patient and Lucas was too, but time will tell. Back to it in December. Aria and I went to see Frozen 2 at the cinema, we had booked it early on, got our popcorn and drinks and settle in the luxe seats to watch. I enjoyed Frozen and wasn’t sure it would be able to live up to the first. Wow, I was wrong. It was amazing. I sat there enthralled and amazed. I’m sure Aria enjoyed it too, but oh my it was awesome. Do go see it if you can and stay until the end of the credits for the extra bit. It is a lot darker and more grown-up than the first. Aria was a bit scared at times, but nothing major. I don’t want to spoil it, but I cannot wait to see it again. Tyler had gone ice-skating so Aria and I went to watch him as it’s just next to the cinema and then bring him home. I took the picture of Aria before we went out. She was very excited.
Saturday Tyler had football matches, we went to see it briefly before I took Aria to swimming lessons. Lunch and then some shopping for new blinds for the living room as the boys had been playing football in the living room and kindly tore them. The day just came and went. Next thing we knew it was Sunday. Lucas had football, but Aria, Tyler and I stayed in and had a pj day. It was nice. The boys won their 4th game in a row for the season, so they came home happy. We drew and watched some films before gymnastics and Tyler’s other training.
Monday comes round so quickly and it was back to work and school. Football and I’m a Celebrity watching in the evening. Both Tyler and Lucas are loving it, but it is a bit late to be honest, but it’s nice to watch something together as Lucas rarely watches tv shows.
Tuesday was much the same, work and I picked the kids up from school, but I had a ton of stuff to catch up on and some organising stuff to get for the Christmas fayre at school. I seem to be meeting myself going backwards these last few weeks.
Wednesday was a long, so long day at work. Lucas made some yummy pasta in home economics in school. He enjoyed it and said he’ll make it for us soon. I came home and read the two younger ones some of my book to help edit and see if they like it. Still editing away, but not getting a lot of time. I am trying to order the Christmas and birthday shopping during the night at 4am to be precise when I wake up with so much going on through my head. Helping out buying for the Grandparents too.
Another long day at school and work on Thursday and then straight home from work to help at the school Christmas fayre. It was a huge success and the kids had a great time. Our lovely local counsellor played Santa for us and I took Aria and a wee friend to see him when I got a break from the sweetie stall. Sweets are always super popular so I was knackered come the evening. Although, I was still awake during the night trying to get the early Black Friday deals for Christmas and birthday shopping. Not the best to buy in the middle of the night when you fall asleep before checking out.
The weather has been so cold, but it has meant it has been dry and the skies have been so pretty. I caught the sunrise above on Friday morning before work. I took the kids to school, then work, then picked them up, shopping, dinner and some more shopping in the evening. I really don’t know where the hours have gone.
I am looking forward to some time off work and some time to watch some cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. I do love them. I love Hallmark tv shows too.
There seem to be lots of illness just now. 4 out of 5 of us developed cold sores and my poor mum has shingles. She is ok so far. Hoping the frost will kill off the bugs.
What have you been up to? I am missing my writing and would just like to stop for a minute. So much going on here and in the background.
I have still yet to see Frozen 2. I am so tempted to go without my girls as they’re not too bothered with it.
I hope you all feel better soon. There has been a lot of warnings from my youngest girls school but she’s caught nothing yet. Eek!
It is so good. I think they’d be surprised as it’s much more grown up. Thank you. xx
That sounds like a very busy week! Christmas and birthday shopping at 4am doesn’t sound much fun at all. I hope things calm down for you all soon. It sounds like the right decision to take a break from the contact lenses for a while. Hopefully things will be easier when he goes back to it. x
Always busy it seems. I hope he will go ok next time we have an appointment xx
We’ve all been I’ll too – the silver lining is hopefully it’ll all be gone by Christmas! #MySundaySnapshot
Hope you are on the mend too xx
Oh dear, I hope your Mum is okay. I feel sad reading your post, my kids are now too old for Father Christmas and have no interest in Frozen 2. What’s a parent to do? I thought saying goodbye to Peppa Pig was bad enough!! x
Thank you. She is doing ok. Thank you lovely. Frozen 2 was really good. Aww bless xx
Love your pink sky pictures and little Aria is looking very ready for Christmas. I love all the things you can do with a daughter this age. Hope the illness pushes on through xx
Thank you. I do love to capture a pretty sky. It is such a nice time isn’t it? x
Santa looked so much like Euan’s Dad there I had to do a double take! 😀 He lets his beard grow a little long this time of year, I can’t think why 😉
Aww that is lovely. He’s such a nice man xx
Beautiful photos. Your weeks always sound so busy – but then I think mine are the same. Thats what small kids do I guess.
I hope your Mum is OK…
Thanks for linking up to #SilentSunday x
Thank you. She is going ok. Yes, you are a busy lady too xx
Busy week! Hope you and your family feel better soon. I also hope you can get back to your writing soon. Lovely photos, the pink sky looks fabulous!

Aww thank you lovely. It is so good x
Sweet pictures. I hear you on the illness thing, and the hecticness of this time of year. I feel my writing is so neglected too at the moment! :/
Yes, it is a difficult time of year for bugs xx
oh no at the shingles. hope your poor mum is not in pain with it
Yes you will meet yourself coming back one day you always sound so busy doing things with and for the children, I hope they appreciate it one day.

I hope it is a nightmare. One day I think it might. I hope they do xx
Oh no hope you are all feeling better now!
We have still to watch Frozen…waiting for the holidays so it is something to do in the hols.
That pink sky is stunning!
Frozen is such a good film. I hope you enjoy it xx
Oh dear to the illnesses going round, hope your mum doesn’t suffer too badly. I won’t be seeing Frozen 2, these are the times i’m glad I had boys and they’ve now all left home lol
She is doing ok thank you. It is really good xx
Hope youre all feeling better soon. I’ll have to wait until Frozen 2 is on TV as my son won’t go to see it 🙁 #365
It is really good, more mature and lovely story xx
Aria looking adorable as usual. Hmm I’m not a huuggee fan of Frozen but I’ll try watching Frozen 2 if I get the time. How sweet of the local counsellor to pose as Santa. I hope you all get well soon
He is such a lovely counsellor. It is a really good film xx
Oh no – we didn’t stay till the very end of the credits – damn! What happened? Thanks for linking up and for sharing your beautiful photos with #MySundaySnapshot.
There is a cute little bit. x
I cannot wait to see Frozen 2 – Athena has already seen it with her Nanny! I might have to wait for the DVD! x
It is really good. Different and more grown up x
We haven’t seen frozen yet, the boys are not that bothered by it. So I think I may end up going on my own. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well, I hope your mum is okay x
It is so good. Thank you x
