Living Arrows – 45/52

This week has been a pretty average week, full of work and sorting bits and bobs at home, nothing too exciting at all! But I make sure that even on the average days at home that the children and I do something with at least part of the day – go shopping, run some errands, go to the park or soft play. There are always jobs that need doing around the house but I can’t spend all day at home with the children, we are all happier when we’ve been out for a while.

But when we get home, and don’t have any other plans, we relax. The children often have lunch in the lounge and watch a bit of TV at the same time. This photo of LP is a pretty standard pose of hers at lunchtime – completely engrossed in Mickey Mouse and eating all the filling out of her sandwich before eating the bread. I have no idea why we even make it into a sandwich!

Little Man will have a nap whenever we get home and after that he will have his own relaxing time. Dressing gown, milk and a movie. He always takes a while to wake up properly after his nap and so he loves this cosy time and it’s nice for all of us to have a little bit of down time in the afternoon.

This coming week I am actually only working one day and I’m not back again after that until 21st November. This for me will feel like a huge break although it’s only using two days annual leave and I am planning on spending it having some quality time with the kids, a very welcome break from routine.
