The last month has been a bit of a mixed bag for the children, from the fun of the half term holiday to the not-so-much-fun of coughs and colds and covid tests.
They’ve both been unwell this last week, with general poorliness turning into coughs and temperatures meaning we all had to stay put at home and take pcr tests. Luckily they all came back negative and I’m hoping we can all get back to the normal routine next week.
Things were definitely more fun back at the end of October during the holidays.
Rhys and Nerys got to spend time with their cousins who we hadn’t seen for around 2 years, which they really loved. They did a pumpkin carving activity at Gower Fresh at Poundffald farm and we all went swimming together at the LC which is always so much fun.
At the end of the half term week I took the children into town to have their eyes tested and then we headed over to the Spooks in the city event in Castle Square.
We joined in with the pumpkin parade, did a pumpkin trail around the town centre, and then Rhys and Nerys had a ride on the carousel.
It was a fab way to end the week and the children both enjoyed taking part in the spooky activities.
Now we’re (fingers crossed) over the worst of this latest bout of poorliness I’m looking forward to what the next month has in store.
Nerys will be working hard at her drama class, preparing for a little production in December. It’s the first time she’s done anything like it and she’s so excited to be part of it.
Rhys is also excited to be moving up to Scouts on Monday and seeing what sort of activities they get up to there.
The thing they’re both most looking forward to though is, big surprise, Christmas. And hopefully the next 6 weeks will be full of festive fun, from alternative school Christmas concerts, to visits to see Father Christmas and getting together with family for the first time in a long time.
