With the glorious weather we’ve been having this week, my word of the week has to be sunshine. Summer has well and truly arrived and we’ve been making the most of it! We’ve had the paddling pool and parasol out in the garden and have been enjoying ice lollies galore. Let’s hope this lovely weather lasts for a while.
Things I have loved this week
- Seeing how much fun Jessica had with her friends at her preschool leavers’ party.
- Having a fun time at the Friends of PICU Family Fun Day and catching up with Willow, who has the same heart condition as Jessica and was on the ward with her when they were both babies, and her mum.
- An afternoon with friends and watching the girls having a waterfight in the garden.
- Putting together our summer activities list and making plans for the summer.
- A day out at Odds Farm Park, feeding the animals and enjoying all the different play areas.
- Seeing all the Pretty Jessica roses blooming in the garden.
- Having hubby home for bedtime a couple of times this week.
- Watching the girls splashing about in the paddling pool in the garden.
- Getting out the paint so the girls could do some footprint and handprint painting in the garden.
Lovely!!!
I hope you didn’t need too many tissues at Jessica’s preschool graduation and I’m loving the rest of your week. It’s totally the simple things that mean the most to us – looked like a
Perfect few days.xxx
Thanks Gemma – I wasn’t too bad at the actual preschool leavers’ party, it was later that day that I got a bit emotional about it all although now I’m just focusing on enjoying the summer 🙂
The sunshine does make the week nicer, doesn’t it? So much outdoor time and love the girls’ happy faces in the paddling pool. Here’s hoping it lasts! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
It’s been so lovely to have that sunshine and we’ve loved having so much outdoor time this week 🙂
It sounds like you have had a lovely week, the sunshine just cheers me up so much! I think that is the coolest paddling pool I have ever seen!
Thanks Jenni – I always feel so much happier when the sun shines too, it’s amazing the difference it can make, isn’t it? 🙂
I love how everyone has been enjoying the glorious sunshine. Sadly it didn’t last down here in Cornwall, by Wednesday, it was gone. Hopefully it will be back soon 🙂 #wotw
Such a shame it didn’t last for you in Cornwall – hope the sunshine returns for you over the weekend 🙂
What other way to beat the heat than to swim in the pool! Its really amazing how sun can make us go out! Didnt enjoy the first 2 days of the heatwave but once we got use to it we love it! Today is my son’s last day of school and when holidays starts for us we are realkly going to go out and soak up the sun! #wotw
The pool was definitely essential this week! Hope you and your son enjoy the summer holidays 🙂
Ahh! What a wonderful week….The weather has been lovely.

Thank you Kate – it has been a lovely week 🙂
Firstly, how wonderful that all of your photos are outside this week – isn’t the weather superb?! And we’ve been spending time in our paddling pool and with water pistols, too, it’s the best way when it’s so hot!
I can’t believe that Jessica is ready to leave pre-school, she’s looking so grown up. I hope it wasn’t too emotional for you!
Have a lovely week

Thanks Tracey – we’ve certainly been making the most of the nice weather! I can’t quite believe Jessica has finished preschool either – the time seems to have gone by very quickly. Last week was a very emotional one but this week I’m back on an even keel again! Hope you have a lovely week too x
Looks like you’ve a fun week made brighter by the sunshine
Thank you Elaine, we certainly have 🙂
Ah you have really made the most of the weather. It really opens up so many more activities like garden and pool time! Love Jessica’s summe dress! She always looks so cute. Hope this is the start of an amazing summer xx #wotw

It seems to have disappeared this week – fingers crossed it comes back! The paddling pool is great – a little small for the girls now but I love the design 🙂
