I didn’t go to Cybermummy11 though WILL be there next year people! My weekend was a bit different. We recently had a bit of a scare when our youngest (Taylor – 7m) was rushed to hospital with suspected meningitis (you can read about that here if you are interested, if nothing else there is some great pictorial info on signs and symptoms). Horrific isn’t the word and to be honest, I’ve not coped with it very well. Taylor is absolutely fine. Mummy, well lets just say I have been a bit clingy of him ie I won’t let him out of my sight. Next week I am being brave and he is going for a visit with my Mum for a few hours, otherwise it will get silly and I’ll never be able to leave him at all.
Anyway, slightly off course! As a result of the scare I have done a bit of a double-take. I am trying to work less on a weekend and when the kids are about. Don’t get me wrong, they are far from neglected as I tend to work in snippets from between 5am and 11pm during quiet occupied times, and naps lol. I needed to refocus on family weekends and simple fun, and that is what this picture is about. Taking advantage of the dry weather we set off, Taylor in the pushchair, Kieran with his backpack and his ” i-spy” book and just explored our local area. Simple, fun (cheap ahem) and real quality family time. Poor Daddy missed out on this one as he’d been left behind working through a list of jobs left for him.
So there you are, my weekend, simple, fun and family orientated.
This is my entry into the fantastic ongoing Gallery run by the gorgeous Tara at Sticky Fingers! The prompt this week has been The Weekend so pop along and see what everyone else got up to and how they managed to capture it!
