Project 365 2022 – Week 24

It has been a busy week of activities.

My only evening’s off are Friday and Sunday, although I am still playing Mum’s taxi for the kids.

We are on countdown to Father’s Day, Sebby’s birthday on Monday and mine on Tuesday, so it has been a busy week of party prep and planning.

Here is our week:

Sunday 12th June

After the wedding celebrations the day before, it was back to earth (and work), with a bump.

Thankfully, I had a later start and when I left, the workmen were already hard at work ripping out all of the old fridges. Although working through a refit is tough, it is nice to see it all happening.

Monday 13th June

I covered holiday at the preschool, so got to go in and see how Lilah was getting on. She barely noticed I was there, although did confuse some of the kids when she called me Nana.

Eliza and Isaac had scouts in the evening and tonight’s adventure saw them abseiling 60ft from Alum Chine Suspension Bridge.

Isaac literally flew down, but thankfully Eliza took a slower pace, so I actually got a good photo of her. I went onto the bridge to look over and I have to admit, I wouldn’t have done it!

Tuesday 14th June

Another work day for me, but back at Tesco. Thankfully I got to see some sun when I took Eliza and her friend to their surf lifesaving session.

They enjoyed a cooling frolic in the sea after their session.

Wednesday 15th June

A preschool day today and it was so hot we had to keep the kids inside after lunch. I did see this beauty on the way home from school.

Thursday 16th June

Our Indian Flower Mantis has shed recently and we noticed that she is starting to change colour and get her markings now.

She is also big enough to see properly and I managed to film her catching her dinner – check out my TikTok video here.

Friday 17th June

The hottest day of the year so far, so we treated the kids to a barbecue for dinner.

We even ate it outside!

Saturday 18th June

It is Sebby’s 9th birthday on Monday and I wanted to avoid a party on Father’s Day, so we held his party today.

He was going to have a gaming party, but since the weather has started improving, he has been playing outside with his friends having Nerf battles, so a Nerf Party was the perfect choice.

I am now under instruction to buy more bullets for home, so they can recreate their battles in the park.

After the party we had to drop Isaac to the beach and popped into Tesco, where Sebby was invited to sit on the Blood donor motorbike.

  1. It sounds like a busy week.
    Oh wow! The workmen did look busy in the shop and the kids are so brave abseiling. The Indian Flower Mantis looks so interesting. Happy birthday to Sebby, I hope he had a great party and has a great day on Monday x

  2. That’s brilliant they got to do abseilling, brave, I’m not sure I’d do it now (although as a child I’d not have blinked!). Happy birthday Sebby, glad he had a good party. Nerf battles always go down well

  3. The birthday party looks fun and a fab bonus of sitting on the bike. The abseiling looks great also, but not something you’d catch me doing. Hope the refit at work is going well

  4. Those are great photos of Isaac and Eliza abseiling. Looks like they enjoyed it. I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to do something like that either! Love the photo of the stag beetle. We sometimes see them in the garden. Sebby’s party looked like a lot of fun – hope he had a good birthday. #project365
