Living Arrows 4/52 ~Team Stein

4/ 52 Living Arrows

“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”. Kahlil Gibran

I hate to have a little whinge, as I’m sure no one really wants to hear my moanings.  But I’m going to, as every week isn’t going to go by swimmingly! We have all taken it in turns to be out of sorts, meaning that 4 out of 5 school days I had one or two off at home with me.  Not easy as on one of those days I was also unwell.   With a clingy Florence who wasn’t keen on sleeping through again, it’s been a tougher than normal week.  At least though we managed to improve on this by the end of the week, when we were all feeling much better.  On Saturday, after swimming and gym, we took the kids for milkshakes whilst we had coffee, they were really well behaved in the cafe, so it felt like a parenting win.

Then a really very breezy walk to blow away the weeks germs and a play in the park.  I’m glad we braved the winds as it made up for a week being cooped up.

    We have some pretty awful weeks and I only have two children to juggle. I think at times like these we all really need to focus on the good bits – love the photos! x
