After a spell of poorliness and pcr tests, it was really nice to have a pretty normal week last week with everyone back at school.
The children both still seemed a bit worn out at the start of the week, but were happy to be at school and able to go to drama class and scouts.
It was Rhys’ first week at scouts after moving up from cubs, and he seems to have mixed feelings about it. I think it was a really quite different experience from what he was used to at cubs, and it’s always strange when you move to a new situation with lots of people you don’t know.
So we’ve agreed to give it a few more weeks before making any decisions about if he wants to keep it up long-term.
Nerys is still really enjoying her drama class and we’re all really looking forward to seeing the short show that they’re working on for Christmas.
It looks like a really fun show from what I’ve seen and I can’t wait to see all the children up on the stage enjoying themselves.
I took this week’s living arrows photo at the weekend when Nerys and I left the boys at home and went out for a little trip to Cwmdonkin park.
The weather had been a bit wet overnight so we weren’t sure if she would be able to play on much at the park, but actually when we got there it was all fine. So she had a great time on the swings and the roundabout, before we both got a bit chilly and decided to head back home.
We spent the walk home talking about our plans for the next month, from visiting Father Christmas with Nana and Pops, to driving to Kent to see my parents, my siblings and all the cousins on my side of the family.
I’m just keeping everything crossed that nothing happens over the next few weeks that stops these things from happening. Everything got closed down so suddenly last year, part of me is really quite wary of planning too much and pinning too much hope on the plans we have made.
Anyone else feeling that way this year?
