Busy Lives : Active Girls : Country Kids

Dear Blog,

Life has been a little bit busy of late and you have been a little neglected. I apologise.

You see, I have these two adorably energetic daughters who seem determined to do every activity going at the present time!

Our weekends are no longer our own. Gymnastics takes over our Saturdays (although very proud of my girls this weekend in their display - have a look at my Instagram feed for indulgent proud mum moments) and suddenly swimming has taken over our Sundays but somehow this weekend we managed to get outside and enjoy the lovely weather.

I stopped working for a few hours (yes this is a true fact) and we went for a stroll .....

A certain small person insisted on bringing her "babies" (that had been in her doctors surgery earlier that day) for a walk too!

Then today we have been out sorting through the logs on the farm (with a toddler dressed like a cow - obviously).

Although she was insistent that the shavings were porridge oats, not wood shavings!

We were trying to work out how old this tree was ....... can you tell?

So you see my dear little blog, while I have neglected you, we have been busy building strong, athletic children and indulging their passions and curiosity. I know I apologised earlier for my absence but if the truth be told, I am not really sorry, I am just happy to be having time with my children.

  3. I've started to spend much more time away from the laptop lately as well - I just want to enjoy as much of the kids as I can before they get to the age where they'd rather be with their friends.

  4. Sounds like you have been out having a wonderful time together, I love the imaginations of your children, of course those wood chippings were porridge oats! Thank you for sharing an insight into your adventures on Country Kids

  8. I love your #sorrynotsorry attitude! I think a lot of struggle with keeping up the blogging and others as the kids get older, but there's really nothing more important than them and they grow up far too quickly. Glad to see you are building such healthy individuals and enjoying being with them!

  10. My poor blog is neglected too because I am too busy having fun with the kids and not time to share about it. Glad you are having fun with the girls and love that your toddler went out as a cow.

  13. I think my blog has been somewhat neglected of late, but then when the weather has been as glorious as it has been I've found that I just needed to be outside doing stuff instead. I do love your little cow lumberjack!
