Day 294 – Sunday 20th October
Horse riding week so went and saw the horses again when went to collect the eldest. It’s been a month since we went to see the horses as a fortnight ago it was raining so didn’t get out of the car. The horses were happy to get a polo again. While the eldest was at horse riding myself and Bee went to her friends house as she had just had a baby brother! Had forgotten how small babies are…..but I didn’t get broody!
Day 295 – Monday 21st October
A bit of a quiet day today. Did some general tidying up and put some things on Facebook to sell. Decided to see if anyone wanted a bunch of teddies that have just been shoved to the back of the cupboard.
Day 296 – Tuesday 22nd October
We had been invited to a halloween event which we declined attending as we don’t celebrate halloween and therefore not happy to promote it on my blog. The company were very understanding and instead we were invited to go to the local museum to take part in their events. We usually try to pay a visit to the museum anyway in the holidays so we went along and gave it a quick write up on the blog: Half Term Fun at Peterborough Museum.
Day 297 – Wednesday 23rd October
The day hubby returned from Pakistan after 4 weeks away. People kept saying that must have dragged and that I must have missed him. Honestly? The 4 weeks went by in a flash and I didn’t really miss him much. He was always at work and I did everything when it came to the kids anyway…I only really missed being able to call him to ask him to get the bread and the milk on the way home. Oh and to catch the spiders that got into the house. Bee though missed him a lot and was so excited to go collect him from the airport. She stood waiting by the arrivals door until he walked through.
Day 298 – Thursday 24th October
A quiet day. Rosie made use of the suitcases as a bed….and hubby’s car broke down when he went out. So he spent all day getting that sorted. Thankfully it wasn’t a big issue and got fixed pretty quickly once the mechanics got to it.
Day 299 – Friday 25th October
Bee was invited to go to soft play with her friend for a few hours. While she was with her friend, I decided to treat the eldest to the cinema and we watched Maleficent. It was nice to be able to spend some one on one time with her – I am making a conscious effort to try to make more time for her as well as Bee does tend to take up a lot of my time.
Day 300 – Saturday 26th October
Cheating a bit here as this photo was actually taken on Thursday but we were at karate today all morning again. They have really gone all out with all the decorations and one of the posters is a bit spooky with zombies..which I thought might be a bit too scary for the younger ones. But thought this skeleton was pretty funky. They were also giving out sweets after each lesson which I thought was nice. Then an afternoon of chilling and watching TV.
How lovely to spend some time with your eldest. It is hard to juggle the kids and spend time equally with them when they do so many different things. How lovely for Bee to have her dad home. I know I would miss my husband if he went away – I even missed him when he was away for one night. Although that was partly because I had to clean the kitchen myself!

Yes it definitely can be hard to juggle things!
I bet the horses were happy to see you coming with the Polo mints.
That’s good that the company were understanding and invited you to their museum!
Welcome back to your husband.
It’s nice that you got to spend some one on one time with your eldest! I really want to see Maleficent!

We enjoyed Maleficent…you should go watch it!
Beautiful horses! We don’t do much for Halloween, I might bake something scary-themed and carve a pumpkin, but that’s about it. We never go trick-or-treating.
It’s so sweet that Bee was missing her Dad.
Lovely that you have one-to-one time with your elder daughter.
Yes it was nice to spend time with her
Nice to be able to have an older child to go to the cinema with. I never get round to going for films I want to see as N won’t go, and it’s hard fitting in time. 4 weeks is nothing is it. It whizzes by so fast.
It certainly does whizz by!
I’m the same with my husband when he travels, it’s the going away that upsets me, not the actual being away. mainly because I’m left completely on my own and I know what you mean about having no one to pick up the milk and bread on their way home. Lovely to have some time with your eldest and the cinema.
Yes it was nice to have some time with her for once!
Ah how lovely! I’m terrified of small babies because I can’t hold them for very long because my arm is very weak but they are super snuggly Mashallah!

I have been out of practice for so long that even I was terrified holding a new born again!
It sounds like we have similar experiences with our husbands and their day to day impact. Glad he’s home though and the car issue wasn’t too serious in the end #365
Yes so glad re the car as couldn’t afford an expensive fix!
Its tough isn’t it. I find my youngest takes up a lot more time too. Bee must have been very excited by having her daddy home. Sorry to hear about the car.

She certainly was excited!
quite right to turn down an event if it is not your thing, but think you got the better deal, much prefer museums to Halloween
Nice to spend one on one time, not be long till she is not interested so make the most of it.
Glad Bee missed her dad and what a pain about his car, glad it was easy sorted .

Yes was such a relief that it was an easy fix
That is lovely you got to spend some time with your eldest. It can be hard to get some 121 or quality time with them. That is nice for Bee to have her Dad home. xx
Yes she is so pleased to have him home!
