Sunday – After a wet day of me baking and the boys running a riot around the house , bored from not being able to go on the trampoline, we went to thier Granma’s for roast dinner. Before it was ready the boys played outside in the muddy puddles and then took themselves off to look over this gate. I really love this photo.
Monday – I took Burton to the playgroup that Jenson and I normally attend when he is at Ladybirds. This afternoon we did some food shopping and normally Burton walks bext to the trolley but I found one with two seats in and he insisted on sitting next to Jenson. Lol I don’t think Jenson was too impressed by this!
Tuesday – this morning we had a visit from a (new) mobile hairdresser, something we have not had before. She cut both boys hair but it was Jenson’s first big boy haircut as previously I have trimmed his hair. He was so good and sat ever so still. This afternoon we had a visit from Burton’s new teacher who seems very lovely.
Wednesday – I took the boys to soft play this morning to meet some friends but unfortunately Burton was a bit full of the ‘fours’ shall we say! Nedless to say we ended up coming home sooner than I had planned and he had to go to his bed for a bit! This afternoon we played with the toys.
Thursday – Granma popped over for lunch and then this afternoon I took the boys to get thier feet measured. Jenson’s feet have increased from a size 5 (pre summer) to a size 7 now! I also bought Burton his first pair of school shoes *sighs* not long now!
Friday -Daddy took the day off today as origina,ly we had planed to visit Legoland as we have some tickets. However, due to Burton being abit of a bu**er this week in terms of this behaviour coupled with him already being tired and not wanting to knacker him out for school on Monday, we didnt go. So we had a lazy morning of watching a movie (we had been up since 6am mind you!) and then we had lunch out and then Burton and Daddy went swimming and Burton swam 25m unaided in the deep end! The photo is a bath one as I realised I hadn’t taken a photo all day!
Saturday – swimming lesson for Burton this morning and he is going to be moved up to stage 2 in a couple of weeks time. Daddy and Jenson also had a swim. Afterwards I popped to Tesco and then my Mum and Step Dad came for lunch . This afternoon we went to the park with the bikes for the boys and we also went to the playground. It was a lovely warm day with lots of sunshine – hurrah! Best day weatherwise in over a week.
And that was my week that was – my last one before Burton starts school. *sobs* Next week it is all change x
Bless Burton is looking so grown up. I bet he’ll be brilliant at school next week.
The first photo is my favourite with mud all up their backs, I was just the same as a boy
Bless him he looks a tad unhappy with his haircut!
Always love your pictures
First school shoes Aaahhh so grown up!!! Love the Garden gate one but all are lovely. You’ve reminded me we haven’t used our legoland Tickets yet either…we were going over summer but chickenpox stopped that. Best find out when husbands coming home xx
Wow, well done Burton! A future Olympic swimmer in the making there?! x
The gate photo is lovely, really lovely and it sounds like another really busy week for you. I hope Burtin settles into school okay this week and that you don’t get too upset when he goes
Hair cuts and school shoes, It can only be September!
I am dreading Joshua first hair cut, but when i finally get it done i hope he sits this still! So amazing shots this week x
Well done to Jenson on having his hair cut. z screamed the whole place down!! 🙂 I hope you and Burton have a really good week next week with school. Will be thinking of you tomorrow xx
love the muddy gate picture, that is what my children always looked like, but better muddy than bored and fighting.
gosh there seem to be a few off to school this summer, gone from toddler to big boys so quick. lol at Burtons face in the trolley, unimpressed definaetly
He looks happier about his new shoes than he does about his haircut!!
Love the picture of them climbing the gate
School shoes – I need to do that next week. Have been very relaxed about it this year and H is still in last years. I find that H’s behaviour can deteriorate in the summer holidays, but he gets back on track at school. I think the rules and the structure help with that. Maybe it will have a similar effect on Burton. Love the bike shot.
I love the 4th photo taken through the little castle window!
The first photo is so beautiful , you need to frame it x
The photo through the castle window is excellent. I hope Burton has a great time at school and I hope it doesn’t take too long for you to get used to the changes 🙂 xx
Haha, full of the ‘fours’ – they never told us about them did they, and there was me being all pleased when the ‘terrible twos’ passed 🙂
Shame about the weather but your 2 outdoor photos are lovely 🙂 hope the full of fours passes quickly!
Ooh your photos are gorgeous! I love the shot through the castle window – very clever! 🙂
I do love your ‘toy playing’ shots- you capture moments so perfectly.
Love them in front of the gate… such a way to sadly shut the gate on our lovely summer, and move into what will hopefully be a beautiful autumn.
I hope this week goes well for you all, and that Burton settles quickly into his new routine and enjoys his new adventure. xx
I love Jenson’s face in the Trolly Dolly picture..he looks most put out having his brother sat by him.
I used to be a Clarks childrens shoe fitter (many moons ago!!) I loved fitting the kiddies with their first school shoes.
Lovely garden gate picture!!
Aww bless I remember getting my daughters first school shoes! Was so emotional! Hope he does ok at school. x
Love the bottom photo of Burton with the clouds, and the photo of them in the trolley. Looking forward to seeing how your photos have changed this week.
Thanks for linking up to Project 365.

[…] 06/09/13 – I love this shot of the two boys. It was taken at the end of a warm day following some rain and the boys had been enjoying splashing in the puddles; Burton on his bike (note the mud stains on his clothes) and Jenson bare footed! It marked the end of a wonderful Summer and the start of a new season and a new chapter in our lives as Burton started school a week later. I just love the carefree abandonment of my boys in this photo and it sums them up well. […]
