A photo a day, every day, for a year! This is my post for the year 2023 Week 20, 21 and 22. These weeks keep flying by I honestly don’t know where the time goes! The past few weeks have been busy with me doing lots of running about. We also had the May half term which gave me a rest from the usual school run routine.
Project 365 – 2023 Week 20
Day 133
Ethan’s swimming club gave them all coronation medals today.
Day 134
As a family, we have been to London’s South Bank a few times. We have never taken the children on the London Eye. Ethan has always asked about it so his birthday treat was visiting the London Eye today. We also visited the London Aquarium.
Day 135
My mum is adding to my garden again. She brought us some rose bushes. She knows I just want plants that don’t need my attention just some space and water.
Day 136
Little E really wants to stay at the LEGOLAND Hotel for her birthday. We have been many times before but I think she was too young to remember our last trip. I was looking into prices today.
Day 137
I’m still reading The Maze Runner books. I’m not really reading at home at the moment. My head is elsewhere in the evenings. I’m not sure if perhaps I’m finding them a hard read but I do enjoy them when I’m reading the books.
Day 138
We stopped at the shop on the way home from school. We all got a sweet treat.
Day 139
I noticed they had Kipling cakes in the shop yesterday and I wanted them! But I was good and didn’t pick them up. But I’m really having sweet treat cravings at the moment and Darren run out to get us some.
Project 365 – 2023 Week 21
Day 140
I saw someone mention on Facebook that the Harry Potter films have been added to Netflix. That was our weekend viewing sorted. They even added the Fantastic Beasts films but we had to buy the third one from Amazon to complete the full set.
Day 141
Our runner is finally set up in the garage. I have started the Couch to 5K app again. I’m determined to finish it this time.
Day 142
This term Little E will be having changing me lessons at school. I went into the school today to look at what they would be learning. I think I will get some questions.
Day 143
I got an exciting message from Ethan’s teacher today. She has taught him how to do subtractions. She asked me to see if he would show me at home. This is what he did without any help. I know it’s simple maths but it is such an achievement for him.
Day 144
Still making my way through the book when Little E is at her dance class.
Day 145
As Ethan puts it a special treat of McDonalds for the children after school. For some reason, Little E always gets the best drinks!
Day 146
Little E wanted to take this selfie on the way home from school.
Project 365 – 2023 Week 22
Day 147
I have to do three runs a week with the Couch to 5K app. I have stuck to it so far.
Day 148
A roast dinner on a Sunday. We normally have them on a Monday but my meal plan was a bit different this week.
Day 149
I took Little E to see the new Little Mermaid film today. We met up with her friend from her old school. I was 9 when my mum took my friend and me to see this film. Little E will be 9 in a few weeks.
Day 150
I’m trying to reduce Little E’s screen time, much to her dismay. But it did get the children to play games together again. Hungry Hippos is always a favourite of them both.
Day 151
I completed another run today.
Day 152
The children went out with their Nana and Pappy today. They visited the new Jurassic Pier attraction at Clacton Pier.
Day 153
Little E brought home a dinosaur egg for Jurassic Pier. She has to leave it in the water for 48 hours to hatch.
That was our 2023 Week 20, 21 and 22 adventure. You can read about weeks 17, 18 and 19 here.
You have had a busy few weeks. It sounds like you have all had a lot of fun.
Good luck with the couch to 5k, it sounds like you are doing really well. x
