1st September - 7th September 2014 - One Picture Everyday For One Year

This week has seen us say goodbye to Sherwood Forest and hello normality. The hubby returned to work and Joseph returned to school in year 5! It was back to just the twins and I again.

This week has also seen sore throats and colds which have resulted in disturbed nights, tired people and tears. But at the same time there has been a calmness in the twins since Joseph has returned to school.

Here is our week in pictures...

Monday 1st September 2014

On Monday we said goodbye to this lovely view. This was the view we had each morning and I loved standing outside, first thing, just taking in the fresh air and peacefulness. When we got home we collected Dotty from the cattery. I hadn't realised how much we had missed her until we collected her.

Tuesday 2nd September 2014

Whilst we were away I treated myself to a few Elemis products. I have never spent so much on skincare but this is my attempt to start looking after myself more and doing something for me. So on Tuesday I started by having a bit of a pamper evening.

Wednesday 3rd September 2014

My auntie recently gave the twins a little bench which was her grand children's. My dad has been busy restoring it and he got it finished while we were away and left it as a surprise in our garden. On Wednesday the twins played in the garden and loved taking a rest on their bench. Joseph returned to school on Wednesday. He is now in year 5 and growing up quickly,

Thursday 4th September 2014

On Thursday I decided to go out and I took the twins to Costa. This is something which I have never done on my own before. It would either be a success or disaster! I am delighted to say that it was a success, they were so good. They sat and had a babyccino and biscuit while I enjoyed a cappuccino and flapjack. It was so lovely, we will definitely be doing it again!

Friday 5th September 2014

Dotty makes us all chuckle so much. She is a cat who is full of character. I had to take this picture of her sitting on the hubby's bedside table taking a drink. We went for a ride out to see the hubby during his lunch break today. We also saw my mother in law so we had a busy afternoon!

Saturday 6th September 2014

Saturday I woke up full of cold and with a sore throat. After getting up the hubby looked after the children so that I could go back to bed. After doing a bit of baking I was exhausted so he took the children shopping so that  I could get some rest.

25th August 2014 - 31st August 2014 - One Picture Everyday For One Year

I am a few days later than normal as we have been away for the week. Our week in pictures is from our fantastic holiday to Sherwood Forest Center Parcs. We had an amazing week away and I will be blogging about it during the week. But here are a few pictures of our time away.

Here is our week in pictures...

Monday 25th August 2014

Monday was the day we set off on our holiday. The car was packed to capacity and off we set on a rainy Monday. 

Tuesday 26th August 2014

Waking up to this view was bliss! It was so peaceful, I wish everyday started with this view! I started the day with an hour of me time at the spa having a facial. We went on to visit to the Robin Hood visitors centre and a lovely walk through the forest.

Wednesday 27th August 2014

Wednesday was all about the Gruffalo! The Gruffalo books are a favourite of ours. The twins loved the large wooden Gruffalo and Taylor kept running and saying "Cuddle Gruffalo!".

Thursday 28th August 2014

Not a great quality picture but I love it! On Thursday my mother in law sat in with the children so that the hubby and I could take some time out and go out for a meal. It was a lovely evening.

Friday 29th August 2014

Friday was a hard day. Friday was the anniversary of loosing my beloved grandad. I can't believe that a year has passed without him. I am so pleased that we were away and my family kept me going. I started the day with a spa morning which was lovely but I just wanted to be close to my hubby and children. Whilst we were away we hired bikes and took a ride to the country club. The twins loved their rides in the trailer and we are seriously considering getting one so we can continue going out on the bikes.

Saturday 30th August 2014

Over the holiday it was great having some time with Joseph. We often went swimming the two of us and enjoyed going on the flumes and round the rapids together. Saturday was spent swimming, cycling and eating!

Sunday 31st August 2014

Whilst away I have discovered that I love cycling! Before this holiday I had not ridden a bike in about, dare I say it, 20 years! But I have loved the freedom that it has given us. On Sunday we enjoyed taking the children swimming for the last time, cycling around the resort, eating out and having another swim once the children were in bed while my mother in law looked after them. We even started thinking about our next holiday!

As I am a couple of days late I am unable to share my week in pictures with The Boy and Me - Project 365 however I will link back next week. 

I am sharing my week with the lovely Aby from You Baby Me Mummy who is hosting The Week That Was Captured for the lovely Hannah from Make Do and Push.

I am also sharing with the lovely Helen at Actually Mummy - Expressions.
