This week has been a mishmash of different moments – fun moments with the girls, busy moments doing jobs around the house, relaxing moments enjoying time out with hubby and bittersweet moments when the realisation of just how quickly my girls are growing up suddenly hits me once more. There have been two moments in particular with Jessica where I have realised this – one where I carried her up to bed and she suddenly seemed so very big in my arms and the second was when I filled in the form applying for her to start school next year.
This week has certainly felt like it has been a very full one and I’ve taken a bit of a step back on the blogging front as result – there has been so much else going on that I’ve not had much time to devote to the blog this week. As much as I love blogging though, it has been nice to have that step back and really focus on spending time with my family, time with my lovely hubby and focus on chipping away at all those little jobs that need doing around the house too.
Things I have loved this week:
- Watching the girls enjoying themselves at an outdoor stay and play session.
- Treating ourselves to a carvery and the squeals of delight from the girls as we arrived – you would have thought I’d been starving them all day!
- The fun of taking the girls to the toy shop and letting them spend their birthday money followed by an even more fun afternoon playing with their new toys (we’ve been adding to the collection of Bing things!)
- Carving a heart in a pumpkin as part of World Vision’s #CarveAHeart campaign.
- Going to Legoland with the girls’ friends H and E for the last day of the season.
- Relaxing at a spa day with my lovely hubby and enjoying time just as a couple whilst the girls had a lovely day with Grandma.
What a very busy and full week! Lovely to have time as a couple as well as enjoying time with the girls. too. My kids are often like that in restaurants, people must think they’re starved! Ah, filling in the school application is quite momentous, I hope you get the school that you want x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Thanks Jocelyn – it was funny to hear how excited they got about going out to eat! Lovely to link up to #WotW again 🙂
How lovely to have a spa day! You both look so happy and relaxed. Fingers crossed on the school front too – stressful time if I remember correctly.
Thanks Jo – it was a lovely day and hopefully the school application process won’t be too stressful 🙂
Must have nice to have a day at a spa with hubby. Your pumpkin looks fab. #WoTW
Thank you Karen – was pleased with how it turned out given my carving skills aren’t that great! 🙂
It sounds like a busy week for you!
Fantastic photos! How lovely to have some couple time at the spa!
Thanks Kim – that day at the spa was bliss! 🙂
There’s definitely been lots of lovely moments this week. #WoTW
Oh yes, there certainly were 🙂
Oh it may be a mishmash but what a lovely week, although I do know that when I completed Luke’s form for school it suddenly hit me that he was growing up and will soon no longer be my pre-schooler.
It’s great to see you and hubby spending time together after reading about you guys being apart for so long. I bet it was fabulous to spend some grown up time together,
Enjoy your weekend – this post has made me smile
xx
Thank you Tracey – I’m trying not to think too much about Jessica starting school – hopefully the time won’t go by too quickly! It was lovely to have that time together with hubby at the spa day, was much needed after him being away so much lately. 🙂
Sounds like a very busy, but also a lovely week. It must have been so nice to have some chilled out and relaxing time with the hubby too.xx #wotw
Thank you – it certainly felt like a very full week and the spa day was just blissful 🙂

Wow huni what a fab week! A cavery, spa and legoland! I totally get what you mean about them growing too quickly, it gets to me too x
Thanks Aby, it was a lovely week. It is scary how quickly time seems to go by, isn’t it? x
Ah I am so glad you enjoyed the spa day. I am so with you about those realisations that the kiddies are growing up, and glad the girls are enjoying their new toys too xx
Thanks Sarah – they do grow up too quickly don’t they – definitely a good reminder to stop and enjoy those little moments 🙂
Sounds like a lovely week. So good you got to spend some quality with the girls and also with your hubby 🙂 #HappyDays
