This week has seen more of the fabulous sunshine, which makes me very happy. But my title this week is not about making the most of the sun, although nice weather in this country does tend to warrant that response. This time im referring to making the most of the the last few days when i have my fourth child with me throughout school terms. She is starting school in september and currently attends nursery in the morning. This all comes to an end in a few short weeks, i think she has 10 days left at nursery.
Since the weather has been so gorgeous I have been wanting to just do some chilled, relaxed mornings out with them both. While its still cool and before the lunchtime sleepy crabbyness hits. So we have been skipping a few mornings of nursery…they haven’t started charging yet for not going! It also safely navigates round the sticky issue of my daughter’s indigance at not being invited to go to a friends house every.single.day! Its not a part of the day i enjoy and to be honest not taking her avoids the almighty tantrum i just dont have the energy to deal with.
So instead we are exploring some parks with a picnic rug, some strawberries and little brioche rolls and playing games and chasing butterflies. 🙂
These are happy little moments that i will remember once she gets sucked into the school system. It connects us again and prevents me having to do a hundred drop offs a day and okay it breaks the rules a little but while i still can I will do it!
Ha!! Always a little bit of a rulebreaker!
These are really lovely! Can’t believe that little baby face is old enough for school!
What beautiful pictures Sarah, you really do capture the warm summer in all of them, love the little crocs shot, those adprable little girl feet x

I totally agree that rules are made to be broken on occasions. In the bigger picture quality time is more important. Looks like you made the ost of it. Great pictures
Stunning photos! Those curls are divine. Your girls look like they’re really enjoying being outside in such a beautiful environment for play. x
Aaaahh uch lovely, happy and sunny pictures. Love those curls too x.
Your photos are really beautiful. Love the gorgeous curls. My son starts full time in September too so we can kiss goodbye to weekday outings and it will hit us quite hard since his Dad works shifts and is only off one weekend a month 🙁
I’m with you on skipping nursery while you can – once they start school you won’t get the chance. I love your photos, they’re gorgeous.
I’m with you all the way! The pre-school years go so fast you have to stop and appreciate the time that you have with them while you can. Gorgeous pictures of the girls creating happy memories with you, thanks for sharing with Country Kids.
