This week has seen the return of the sunshine and some warmer weather. It’s been good to be able to get the washing out on the line once again and feel like summer has returned. The girls have been enjoying having the paddling pool out again in the garden. While we don’t tend to let rain stop us from getting out and about, we have certainly spent more time outside this week. We need to make the most of this summer weather while it lasts!
We’re still waiting to hear about a date for Jessica’s surgery. I’m beginning to think that this will probably now take place sometime in the Autumn. As a result, I’m starting to think a little ahead again – trying to plan for the start of the new school year and thinking about Jessica’s birthday. We haven’t put any plans in place yet for a birthday party as everything was so uncertain. Her birthday is now less than three weeks away though so we really do need to start organising if she’s going to have a party.
Things I have loved this week:
- Catching up with a friend over several cups of tea and watching our girls having fun together.
- Baking lots of cakes with the fruit picked from my in-laws’ garden.
- Doing a fundraising coffee morning for Little Hearts Matter.
- An afternoon exploring and doing a treasure trail with hubby and our girls.
- Watching the girls racing each other up and down the alleyway next to our garden on their bikes.
- Watching the girls having fun doing footprint and handprint painting in the garden.
- Seeing the sunflowers starting to bloom in the garden.
- Meeting a friend for lunch at the Rural Activities Garden Centre.
Yes to sunshine and not letting the rain stop the fun. Your girls look so grown up in the last photo. Sounds like they are enjoying their summer. Handprinting in the garden is fun. Our sunflowers are starting to bloom too. Makes it easier to remember it’s summer, even when we have thunder and lightening, which is going on as I write this! #wotw
Thank you Cheryl. It’s lovely to see the sunflowers in the garden 🙂
It has been warmer hasn’t it….We have still had a couple of wet days here and today we keep having showers but the sun is shining and it really seems to lift my mood. Lovely photos. It looks like you have been having a lot of fun! #WotW
It’s amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine makes 🙂
Wow, what a busy week. I love the feet painting, I bet that was a lot of fun X #wotw
Thank you – the girls loved it 🙂
What a lovely week you have had, I’m glad you’ve had nice weather. We’ve had a couple of not too bad days, but we’ve also had more than our fair share of rain too. I love that photo of all the girls together, beautiful xx
Thank you Anne, I love that photo too 🙂
Lovely #wotw. And I love that last photo of your girls – gorgeous!
Thank you Ann. I love that photo too 🙂
It sounds like you had a good week. It feels like it always rains in August. I’m glad that you can do a little planning now #WotW
Thanks Jane. It does help being able to look a little ahead again.
We have had sunshine but on and off, we have also had rain every day which makes it so hard to plan. It must be odd life being on hold but am glad you are feeling you can plan for Jessica’s Birthday, fingers crossed for another sunny week x
Thanks Sarah, we’re still in limbo but being able to look ahead a little helps x
I love the girls matching Shopkins dresses how sweet. We have had a mixed bag of weather so very envious that you got so much sunshine and managed to get outside lots. The girls look like they have had a lovely time. #WotW
Thank you Angela – it was a lovely week on the whole 🙂
