We’re back to the normal school routine this morning, after a really quite lovely half term break.
It was one of those strange weeks that felt really long, but in a really good way.
We didn’t even really do all that much, but Steve had the week off work and so we got several jobs around the house done that we’d been meaning to tackle for ages. We took the children to the British Heart Foundation shop in town, to hunt for a new chest of drawers for their bedroom. Not the most exciting thing to do but they both actually enjoyed themselves, wandering round, opening doors and drawers and testing out various sofas.
Then midweek we spent a lovely few hours with some friends in Brynmill park.
The boys ran around and played together, catching imaginary pokémon with their imaginary pokéballs. The girls climbed on the climbing frame and whizzed down the slide. Nerys even braved the fireman’s pole a couple of times.
She was so proud of herself when she did it all on her own.
Although after doing it a few times she then started to almost panic and refused to do it any more. It was like she had it for a moment there, but then just lost it again. And then the fear crept back in.
I have no doubt she’ll be back up there trying again next time we’re at the park though!
Along with park trips and furniture shopping we managed a wonderfully quiet day at home and a visit to the Gower Heritage Centre during our half term.
All in all, it was a really lovely week, just spending time together and having a break from the normal routine.
Back to it now though, for a few weeks at least. Roll on Easter I say.
Sounds like a lovely week and who can beat a trip to the park #LivingArrows
It was a really lovely week! x
Oh what an achievement! Troy has only just learnt this and is always SO proud of himself! x
I remember the first time Alice did it on her own, they are just so proud of themselves aren’t they? x
My eldest hasn’t mastered this yet. I bet she was very proud.

She was so proud! I do wonder if she’ll do again next time though or if the fear of it will come back! x
It sounds like you’ve had a lovely time!

Monkey is Pokemon mad! Sounds like the sort of game he likes to play. I am still scared of the fireman pole to this day so I am super impressed! I hope she is brave enough to do it again soon x #LivingArrows
Oh bless her. Mine do that too – where they can do something fine one minute but then somehow get the fear and won’t do it anymore! #LivingArrows
