Does anyone else feel like last week just flew by?
The children were back at school after the half term break, but it was just a four-day week for them with an inset day on Friday.
The days just went by so fast though and all of a sudden it’s Monday again.
The children seemed pretty tired after the first week back at school so we didn’t even really get up to much at the weekend, so I’m not sure why it seemed to go by so quickly.
Rhys spent most of Saturday at his friend’s house while the rest of us had a quiet day at home. Then Sunday was just swimming lessons and a little play at the park and quick trip to Tesco on the way back home.
Nerys wanted an ice lolly from the shop as a treat, and I managed to convince her that buying a box of these twister lollies was a better idea than getting a single calippo which was what she wanted. I think she was sold as soon as I told her there were five of these in the box to be honest.
So she had one on the walk home and then another one after her dinner. I think this might be an indication of the way things will be during the summer holidays this year!
I’m sure we’ve got a set of ice lolly moulds in the house somewhere. I might need to dig them out and see what different lollies we can make with them instead of buying them all the time.
Do you make your own ice lollies? What flavours do you tend to make?
I feel like the whole year is flying by! That first week back is always exhausting for the kids I find, it takes a while to get back into the swing of the school day. Our freezer is always stocked up with ice-lollies in preparation for the summer holidays, we do sometimes make our own using yogurt and pieces of fruit, it’s a healthier alternative and super tasty too. #livingarrows
Ooh you’ve reminded me to dig my moulds out, although its a bit cool for ice lollies now! Last week really went by fast #livingarrows
Athena and Troy are so tired at the moment – school is exhausting them! I’m hoping they perk up a bit when the sun finally comes back to play x
My girls were and still are exhausted from school. It’s always the busiest time of year at school x
Great idea! We have some moulds somewhere but Ive not made any for ages. I think the last time we made raspberry and watermelon. Although not mixed together just separately. The boys loved them x
Toby and Gabe are both shattered too, even though they’ve just had 10 days off! We make ice lollies sometimes – I used to use those baby fruit pouches but mostly the boys just want blackcurrant now 🙂
