The last month has whizzed by in a whirr of after school clubs, extra curricular activities and wishing there were more hours in the day. I remember when I was at school that I never thought I spent enough time at home and now I never think my wn children spend enough time at home….
Wow. What a busy month we have had. The youngest finished nursery and the other two finished Year One and Year five. September is going to be here before I know it and the craziness will begin again except I’ll have to remember PE kits for three rather than two. We started off the summer…
I’m a bit late with this month’s Siblings post because I have struggled knowing what day it is. I keep thinking it is the beginning of July not that we are half way through. It’s been another month of sunny days and farm picnics. Hay has been made and we have moved around the various…
Summer seems to have finally arrived at the farm and the children have certainly been celebrating and making the most of it. Paddling pools, ice lollies and lots of outdoor playing has been wonderful them (and the drying of washing equally wonderful for me). One of the biggest bits of news this month is our…
Looking back at photos from the last month, it doesn’t feel like much has happened at all. We’ve just been plodding along with life. The first half of the month saw it feel very spring-like and we got outside a lot. The boys enjoyed going off with Daddy climbing trees and generally playing outside at…
It’s that time of the month again to have a look at what the siblings have been up to the last month. Even though they had only been in school for a few weeks before the Easter holidays began, I think they were all tired and in need of a break. We are lambing so…
Home school continued as we entered the start of our siblings month. It was still interspersed with a lot of outdoor time, mainly as a bargaining tool so that school work would get done if I promised they could go outside later. In the last month, we have celebrated the farmer’s birthday and then the…
The first half of birthday season is over at the farm with the second half taking place at the end of this month. Between the 18th of January and the 2nd of March, all three children and the farmer celebrate their birthdays so it is a cake-heavy busy time. With no parties or formal celebrations…
It has been all about the C word at the farm this last month and, for once I don’t mean Covid. Christmas seems to have begun even earlier this year but, due to the nature of my children in general and the youngest in particular, I resisted in following the crowd and didn’t put the…
It’s been a funny old month for the siblings. Mainly because my daughter was off on half term for one week and then the boys were off the week after. While it meant that I got some lovely one-on-one time with my eldest, it also meant the siblings didn’t get a week together. On the…
