Photo mad wife and mummy of three+1, living the life I was meant to. Live the life you love, love the life you live!

It's the last day of school today for us, which me It's the last day of school today for us, which means it's my last 'official' day of work. When the children are home I will just be working as and when I am able to.
.
They were all very excited as they went into school this morning as I was told "we haven't got to do any work at all today". I'm already looking forward to picking them up and getting the Christmas holidays started.
.
Tomorrow I have a few little surprises up my sleeve for them and perhaps taking the dogs for a walk but other than that, I'm looking forward to a slower pace of life once again.
.
What are you looking forward to?

Ancient Greek day for Ollie today, perfect weather Ancient Greek day for Ollie today, perfect weather for wearing a flimsy dress to school πŸ₯ΆπŸ₯Ά
.
He was happy though and very excited for the day. Ollie absolutely LOVES his new teacher - think Mr Poppy but intelligent!!
.
It makes such a difference to their learning and enthusiasm for school, don't you find?
.
I still remember the teachers who made a difference to my education growing up, funnily enough one of them has the same name as Ollie's new favourite teacher.
.
What do you remember about your teachers from school?

Two more days and the children will be home for Ch Two more days and the children will be home for Christmas. I can't wait!!
.
On the one hand I am panicking about everything I still need to do but on the other I am just ready to have my family at home with me, doing crafts, watching Christmas films, baking, relaxing and perhaps eating lots of chocolate!!

Yes we received a special visit from Geoff Tinsel Yes we received a special visit from Geoff Tinsel the Elf from @xtramileentertainments to deliver some Christmas cheer, lots of giggles and yummy selection boxes. Although Lillie nearly didn't get hers because Geoff was reluctant to hand it over 🀣
.
My clever friend and neighbour had spotted them whilst looking for Santas Grotto alternatives so made a group booking and surprised the children on the street.
.
Waking up to a lifesize Elf outside your window gave a few of the adults a surprise too 🀣🀣
.
Geoff was an extremely cheeky Elf who had the kids giggling very loud. Especially when Albie told him that our Elf Finley had been in the blemder, Geoff carefully stepped away from the doorstep and said to his Elf friend that he didn't want to go in the blender too.
.
He loved our Ring doorbell and kept posing for the camera!!
.
This was just what was needed, 2020 might not have been the best but we keep making the best memories possible ❀️

No Christmas pantomime this year.
πŸŽ„
Oh no there isnt...
πŸŽ„
Oh yes there is... 🀣
πŸŽ„ 
Sorry it had to be done!!
πŸŽ„
We have come to @showcasecinemasuk this afternoon to watch Peter Duncan's homemade Jack and the Beanstalk.
πŸŽ„
Peter is an old hat at Pantomime and felt sad at the prospect of families missing out on their festive family tradition. So he decided to do something about it.
πŸŽ„
Over the Summer months after the first lockdown was lifted Peter and friends filmed Jack and the Beanstalk in his 'giant' back garden.
πŸŽ„
You can watch Jack and the Beanstalk at a Showcase cinema near you from this weekend or you can book it online to watch at home if you search PantoOnline.co.uk
πŸŽ„
Personally we have really enjoyed our trip to the cinema and feel confident that they have all the right safety measures in place. You don't have to have your face mask on in the theatre but we chose to wear ours. 
πŸŽ„
Covid might have made a mess of 2020 but it doesn't need to spoil all your Christmas traditions too.

#ad-gifted πŸŽ„ You may have noticed I have been #ad-gifted
πŸŽ„ 
You may have noticed I have been a bit quiet on the grid this week. Overwhelm has most definitely set in and I have become acutely aware of how little time there is before these darlings break up from school and how many jobs I still have outstanding.
πŸŽ„ 
I had all the best intentions of helping the boys to create their own designs for #ChristmasJumperDay today but time just didn't allow and they had to make do with shop bought instead.
πŸŽ„ 
We have still donated to @savechildrenuk because its a charity close to our hearts and they need the support of the nation. Even me and Simon have our Christmas Jumpers on and have donated. Did you?
πŸŽ„ 
We had kindly been gifted some lovely crafting goodies from @bakerrossltd and some yummy snacks to fuel us from @minicheddarsuk
πŸŽ„ 
Since we didn't manage to decorate our jumpers we will find other fun Christmas crafts to do with them instead over the weekend and will share our creations on here.
