I remember a couple of years ago, actually last year AND the year before (Feb 2014 daisies 2013 daisy picking), both years feeling really Summery when Aaron picked me daisies. I am pleased to say this has begun in earnest, so you can relax that Spring is definitely underway with Summer round the corner :-)
Excuse the crusty nose, but we all have the lurgy in this house presently. His nose gets like that at school as they expect them to be independent. Suffice to say, yesterday and today I have got through quite a few wipes to clean him up after the school run! Today in the morning I even put a pack of tissues in EACH pocket of his school trousers and it still happened...
Despite me and Daddy both having Spring flus, Daddy indulged Aaron in a kick about in the park, as the weather was too good to ignore.
There's little I love more than watching them play footie. It warms every cockle of my heart and I get to unwind knowing they are both briefly occupied and I am not needed for a few minutes. And breathe! :-)
Love hearing the football tips that Daddy passes onto Aaron that will put him in good stead for football coaching starting once again in April - Aaron's looking forward to it already. Bless! I love our cycles to and from just as much as watching the football. I enjoyed giving it up once the evenings got cold and dark though, but with the clocks going forward soon, we're ready to adopt all our Spring Summer routines once again! Yee haw!
So, a few weeks ago I was blogging how Aaron was making me go to the park every day after school. Well yesterday and today we were back to that once again. Last night (Thurs 19th March) we went there straight after school at 15:15 yet we were not home till 18:45 at which point my fingers were numb! Tonight thankfully we were home soon after 18:00. It was a warm evening this evening but only until 17:00. My last hour in the park a chill had set in, which Aaron running around does not notice.
I've made a video, I hope you enjoy it:
My favourite photo from tonight, has to be this one. Aaron and his classmate. Both #CountryKids
I'm hooking this post up with #CountryKids over at Coombe Mill.
Wow, that's a good time spent at the park in this chilly weather! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, boy was it chilly. Worse still I just cannot locate my gloves. Bbbbbrrr xx
DeleteI love heading out after school with my boys too. It must feel so nice to get back on the bikes again #countrykids
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely getting outdoors once again as this Winter we really hibernated xx
DeleteMy little ones also want to go to the park every day after school. We went for the past two days and they just love running around with their friends! Beautiful photo at the end! #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I took 74 photos but that's by far my favourite. Lucky, I always meet him after school with food, so that's how he has the energy to do 3 hours. I even do that when we're going straight home as he can eat a horse at the school gates x
DeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time out and about - love the photo of Aaron with the daisies.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. It's becoming an annual tradition his need to give me daisies. He takes it very seriously and I adore his attitude about it even more than the daisies themselves :-) xx
DeleteWhat a gorgeous video, those boys are having such fun together, a beautiful friendship blossoming there and so lovely to see the longer evenings again, I always feel like I regain a few hours in my life in summer. A lovely reminder of the summer sun we all enjoy. Thank you for sharing a different perspective on the park with me on Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It wasn't even planned. They just got bored of the slide and swings and wanted to go to the stunt park. The minute I saw the sun like a huge gold disc in the sky I thought I just have to capture this. Aaron has been obssessed about the Eclipse though. Love too that the evenings are lengthening. It does feel like it gives us more hours in the day. Bring it on! xxxxxxx
DeleteCan't wait till we can go to the park after school again, all the parks are still under a lot of snow! It must be so lovely to be out and about again. Love that last photo x #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! Snow! You must be somewhere else. Let me visit you right back now LOL xxx
DeleteYes, it's Mum Turned Mom, of COURSE you are somewhere else LOL! x
DeleteThat first photo is gorgeous, your little boy is beautiful. It's lovely to get out to the park, clear away those winter cobwebs x
ReplyDeleteI think the crusty nose is cute! My son usually have crusty nose too from food and snot =P
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post. I also love seeing my son and his dad bond. Theres something beautiful in that relationship and I try to just soak everything up!
