Half term has arrived.
Typically I managed to pick up a cold that I have been struggling to shake off this week, so we haven’t done anything we had planned.
Here is our week:
Sunday 12th February
My planned first day of the half term holiday didn’t go to plan. The kids had rehearsals for another show in March and I got a desperate phone call from work as they had a lot of staff of sick, so I ended up working the afternoon, but I did manage a relaxing bath with one of my Lush Christmas bath bombs before I went in.
Monday 13th February
We were invited to meet our new nephew today, so enjoyed lots of new baby cuddles. They have asked not to share his name and pictures online, but I do have this one of Barney and Lilah that Abbey sent me today., all dressed in Valentines PJ’s.
Tuesday 14th February
Happy Valentine’s Day and I am down with the lurgy – a cold and a cough.
We were invited to review a local arcade and with Eliza out with her friends trampolining, Isaac brought a friend along to join us.
It wasn’t a romantic day out, but we all had fun trying to out-do each other on the arcade machines.
Wednesday 15th February
I was definitely feeling worse today, so we didn’t go anywhere, other than dropping Eliza off (again). She is out with friends almost every day of the holiday’s – I think this is my life now, permanently Mum’s taxi!!
My husband did buy me some flowers yesterday……. I was more impressed with them than my card!
Thursday 16th February
I am still not feeling 100%, but definitely on the mend.
Willow has been going mad this week, wanting to spend lots of time out of her vivarium. She has a particular fondness for hiding under our unit, where we struggle to get her out, so my husband blocked it up. Didn’t stop her trying to get to it though.
Friday 17th February
Cannot believe half term is almost over and we have barely done anything, definitely none of the days out we had planned.
We did manage to get out of the house for some fresh air, with a stroll along the beach and a visit to a local arcade, where the kids managed to get rid of all their 2ps’.
Saturday 18th February
The day I have been looking forward to for a while……. a trip to Sussex to see Callan, Chelsea and Barney.
Sadly the weather wasn’t on our side, but we went out for lunch in the local Haskins and it was lovely to see Barney so awake and interacting with everyone.
How was your week?
I cant believe your half term is finished our in the highlands is this week. I was in the South and everywhere was so busy that must be why.
Oh no! I hope you are feeling better now!
Aww! The Valentine’s pj’s on the little one’s are so cute.
I sometimes feel quite glad that I don’t drive so I can’t be a taxi. hehehe x
Lovely to have cuddles with your new nephew and with Barney. That photo of Barney and Lilah is gorgeous. The trips to the arcade looked like fun and those flowers are so pretty. #project365
Lovely flowers!
Why do colds always happen at half term! We were feeling rough too.
