Project Life 2013: Week 26, 27 & 28

Where has the summer gone - it's been so lovely and sunny this year in the UK that I know we have not wanted to stay indoors for any of it. We truly have had a fabulous Summer Holiday.

I had done really well catching up just before the holidays and now look I am 11 weeks behind - ouch!!! Good job I am writing this after having a marathon scrapbook session at the weekend or I think I may have cried.

Right where shall I start......

My handy hints for helping to stay in control and focused during this time are: 

• I keep my album handy with post-it notes shows which is the week.
• I add tickets etc as I go.
• I have used my sketch book to document the daily events and draw sketches.
• I printed all the 4x6 photos at our local Tesco's again which has helped speed the process up loads.

Week 26

Double Page - This week has mainly been chilling out at home and the start

of Wimbledon fortnight, I can't wait.

Page 1 - Lots of tennis this week, which means the boys playing/working at home.

I love it when Tom gets his BIG box of cars out and starts playing.

We've also started to plan for the Summer Holidays and what Tom would

like to do over the 6 weeks.

 

Page 2 - We have chilled at home and enjoyed the sunshine and BBQ's for tea.

Friday it rained and rained. Somehow it stopped just in time for me to watch T20 cricket to be played Notts Outaws v Leicestershire Foxes. Tom loved playing

kwik cricket again for Hucknall. The Sunday photo has not come

out very well, when I have printed the photo I've managed to chop

Tom's head off (1 photo to be re-printed I think)

 - we had a fun day Geocaching in Bestwood Park.

Week 27

Double Page -  Where has July sprung from? This year is going by so so so quickly.

 

Page 1 - A quiet week at home. Tom loved making a box full of cookies at School.

We also nipped to Ikea for tea and shopping after school.

Tom jumped into a bed at Ikea to see if we would notice - very funny.

Friday was watching a Tennis match to see if British Andy Murray  would

make the final, nail biting but some excellent tennis played.

 

Page 2 - Saturday was visiting our friend Pam and having cuddles with her new

Grandson - Ellis. He is a really sweet baby and was very well behaved, well he did

sleep the whole day! Tom enjoyed playing with the boys as usual in the garden all day

in the beautiful sunshine. Sunday was the final of Wimbledon

where the boys played in the garden and I sat in front of the TV.

We all watched the end of the game to see

Andy Murray win - Bring it On, and Well Played Andy :) :)

 

 

Week 28

 

Double Page - Its been a busy week with teeth falling out and school activities. Unfortunately the tooth fairy was very busy and didn't make it to pick

Tom's tooth up in time the first night.

Tom decided he didn't want to take a chance the second night, so he

wrote her a letter - one of my fav pictures, and nicely written Tom.

Page 1 - This week Tom has been to Carsington Water on a trip with school.

Wednesday was Y6 production of Oliver, Tom loved joining in by singing in the choir. It was very good. Tom is also getting ready for his birthday by writing invites to his friends.

Page 2 - With Phil at work and Tom and I awake early we made it to the Next

sale on Saturday. Tom got lots and lots of lovely new clothes. It was so warm in town, that

afterwards Tom stripped off and ran around in the fountains in the Market Square.

Sunday we met my sister-in-law and had fun morning Ice Skating,

afterwards we went for a picnic at Wollaton Hall.
