Our Week.

Making:
 Peach cream pie. Notes on Science and English textbooks. Lists, always. 

Cooking:
 Chicken pitta pockets. Gammon, egg and chips. Carrot soup. 

Drinking:
 ALL THE COFFEE. 

Eating: Nothing right now, surprisingly. Being so busy in the evenings has almost curbed my rubbish evening snacking habits, woohoo. 

Reading:
 The children's novel Skellig. All the picture books. Daniel's reading book, every day. A bunch of poetry books. I'm reading more now than I have in a long time, and I'm loving it. 

Playing: Football. Trains. Monkey Around. Superheroes. Diggers. All the games. 

Drawing: up a plan of action for all aspects of my life, from housework to blogging to studying. 

Wanting:
 A fur rug, a huge bookshelf and a waste paper bin for the office. I bought a chair yesterday in IKEA and it's got me dreaming. 

Wearing: Stripes, jumpers, scarves, plaid & ankle boots. Hello fall. I'm playing along with a few style challenges on IG too which is fun. 

Looking:
 forward to another day off tomorrow! We have an INSET day at school, so we're going to chill out, pop to the library and do some baking. Fingers crossed for a lie in too, I can dream. 

Wasting:
 less time mindlessly watching television. Colin and I have just started watching Suits (which is really good!) but with all the other jobs I have to do I'm not watching much else.  

Enjoying:
 Spending more quality time with the boys, doing activities and 'learning' with D. 

Liking:
 Experimenting with mixing patterns. Taking a little time for myself and not feeling guilty.  Getting creative with food. Twitter, despite a hiatus for a few weeks. 

Loving: 
Salted caramel coffee syrup. Looking through old photos, even just a few weeks old. Curling up on the sofa with C to watch a show. Making memories. 

Hoping:
 I will pick up my camera more this week. I always say I will, but it has been gathering dust for the last couple of weeks and I feel pretty bad about it. 

Marveling:
 at how stubborn my youngest is, I have never realised quite how stubborn I am either until now. Face offs over bedtimes are still happening on a daily basis. Someone promise me it will get better soon, or send me boxes of wine. 

Teaching: myself patience, Joshua good choices and Daniel how to hold a pen and form letters 'correctly'. Cursive is such a faff. 

Bee.
