Finally got the paddling pool out yesterday and it was so good!  Have kept it up and covered so Reuben can get back into it after school this afternoon.  Well, that’s if the heat isn’t too much.  I pegged up an old duvet cover on the washing line so we get a bit of shade as the sun gets intense in our south facing garden.  It’s great for getting my washing dried though! ☀️

Another weekend, another party! 🎉  Reuben enjoyed himself on the good old bouncy castle, balloon bashing with his friends and taking turns to break into the pinnâta.  So that was good fun.  I was just happy the hall wasn’t hot! (And also a tiny bit sad I didn’t get to ‘sample’ the bouncy castle. 🤪)

This morning’s plan to go buy a present for Reuben’s school friend took an interesting detour when the car engine decided to overheat.  Thankfully we were just over the roundabout from a Morrison’s garage so we were able to go get some coolant and let the car cool down.  So while Dad Sean sorted the car out I whipped out a picnic rug and suggested Reuben sit and have a roadside lunch!  I already had the drinks in my bag so Reubs picked out a Lunchables pack in the garage.  Thought it was quite comical us sat there on the floor, especially when I heard a rustling in the hedge and joked a rat was probably going to pop out and pinch a Lunchable!  Just hope the car doesn’t have a leak and we don’t have this funny business for our little summer holiday trips coming up.

It’s national ‘Hug an Ice Pack’ Day! 🧊 🥵

No make up today so I’m rocking the shiny 50 factor sun cream look.  Now I’m  scrutinising my somewhat blotchy looking freckles that’s making me look so old.🫣 

Stay cool today, folks.

Today it was Reuben’s last parents ‘stay and play’ for reception class before he starts year 1 in September.  Can’t believe how quick my lad is growing up and I am beyond proud of him.  We had lots of fun taking part in play activities and got to look through  Reuben’s workbooks, seeing how far his education has come along over the year.  Obviously I know he’s super smart 🤪, his reading keeps on surprising me.  But I’m just happy he can be himself amongst his school friends and watch him grow into an independent fine young man.  Love you being in my life, Reubidoos!

Piggy-sitting this deliciously cute squeaker this week!  Isn’t Edie lovely?! Hilariously, our Muffin isn’t interested in the slightest that another piggy’s in the house.  Even meeting her he’s not bothered!  Think Muffin must’ve reached old fart status. 😂

Look what we did this afternoon - actually took out our bikes! 🚲 This is the first time we’ve been out together, even though it was a week ago I got my bike, and two for Reuben’s.  The truth is we’ve both been nervous.  I hadn’t ridden a bike for something like 15 years, and Reuben has only come from messing on a balance bike and has been mega anxious about it.  I LOVE my bike.  I wanted one that was pretty for a change (as my last was a boys mountain bike) and this one ticks all the boxes.  It’s pastel mint colour, old fashioned aka heritage design and has an awesome basket.  But it is so strange to ride.  The frame is massive and heavy and riding upright is so different to the low posture on a mountain bike.  So I was wobbling all over the shop, though in my defence was partly because I wanted to stay near to Reuben so he could feel we were learning together and I wasn’t leaving him behind.  We have a way to go - Reuben can cycle off like a rocket but in his own style. 😄 Not quite mastered the circular motion of the pedals but who am I to say anything with my poor foot positioning and badly fitted helmet! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Dad Sean hasn’t got a new bike yet so he was our coach/photographer 😂. I best get practicing because Reuben will be leaving me behind before I know it.
