My #R2BC and #WordOfTheWeek is..
By Jeannette | April 17, 2014
Nearly the end of the week and it’s been a (on the whole) good one.
I saw these in Next yesterday and I’ve yet to find a bit of wall space for them but they sum up our week perfectly:
And here’s why:
1. After initially crying (lots) because she said she’d miss school, D has been a happy, smiley, bundle of cuddles! Any anxieties have been dealt with immediately because she’s been able to tell me as opposed to bottling it up for a few hours until the end of the school day.
2. Similarly with T, he’s been more relaxed and there have been a few of his little shy smiles.
3. The pool has been out and that has prompted smiles, splashes and laughter. The law of sod has done its bit with cooler weather but it’s clean, full and there for better weather.
4. I was a bit worried about my father-in-law and his coping this week with it being firstly his birthday and then it would have been Hubbie’s mum’s. The first for both since she died. We took him in lunch and his present was a canvas frame of the two of them (bought, not a freebie). It made him smile.
5. Weather permitting, we’re having an Easter egg hunt in the garden on Sunday. Because T can get very competitive, I’ve got pink and blue eggs (yep, stereotyping) and they’ll both have separate maps, just makes things easier and ensures smiles with added chocolate!!
6. I had a happy clothes moment this week and not a sausage in sight (Wobbles Wednesday), that made me smile.

Have a lovely long weekend 🙂

That’s a lovely cheerful word to sum up your week! I guess it takes kids a few days to relax into any change of routine! #wotw
