Well, Halloween’s now over, so Christmas is next on the agenda events wise which brings us almost at the end of this year’s Project 365. Â It’s now week 44, and I’m throwing in some random photos this week thanks to not really doing much with N mornings or evenings before work and nursery.
I’m sure noone really wants to look at the same picture of N watching Peppa Pig each morning! Â Here’s this week’s round up.
Sunday and we were at Hatton Adventure World for Pumpkin week. Â I’m not really a fan of guinea pigs, but seeing them en masse at the guinea pig village is quite cute.
Monday and I eventually got round to reading my subscription Essentials magazine. Â I used to read lots of magazines before having N, but then found I didn’t have time to read, plus I wasn’t fussed about most of the topics any longer. Â So I just stuck with Essentials. Â I also reminds me of my mum, because she used to read Essentials as well and I used to nick her copy to read when I was a lot younger. Â I’m not so keen on the freebie they threw in this month.
A brief walk on Tuesday lunchtime and I noticed how beautiful the Roman Catholic church near work looked above the other building. Â I didn’t filter this photo, but the colours were such that it felt quite ethereal.
On Wednesday I got really excited to receive our tickets for our Christmas steam engine ride with Thomas the Tank Engine in December. Â Of course N’s really excited…hopefully he’ll be able to wait another month before it’s our turn to go.
Thursday evening I set to work on our pumpkin. Â It was a bit bigger than I thought it was. Â It only just fitted on our window ledge. Â N was all for having a go himself, so while I was carving or sorting out the little things, N was trying to hack away at it. Â Luckily he didn’t get too far in, but maybe next year I’ll have to get him a small pumpkin to have a go himself properly.
Friday was Halloween and N was at nursery. Â I wasn’t sure that they were dressing up but N was happy to wear his Frankenstein t shirt. Â He insisted on ‘soft trousers’ with it, so looked a bit like he was in pyjamas all day. Â N wasn’t too sure about seeing the staff all dressed up – the room leader had to take her witch’s hat off!
Saturday was our NCT group’s halloween party. Â It was so lovely to see everyone, as I rarely catch up with them anymore, as I’m the only one working full time. Â N’s now a little unsure until he’s been there a while because he doesn’t really see the other children much either, especially now there’s quite a few younger siblings as well.
We had to do a rerun of the same photo we took when they were babies. Â So amazing how old they are now…and there were some smiles rather than the crying there was 3 years ago. Â N insisted on having his blanket in the photo – he keeps referring to it as his ‘baby’ and he was quite tired by this point, hence him looking like a bored and tired bookend! Â He also decided against wearing his spiderman dressing up outfit that he originally wanted to wear, so the trusty Frankenstein t shirt got worn again.
So a good top and tail for the week. Â I’m hoping that we don’t just get rain next week, so I can try and get out and find some photo opportunities.

Love the Frankenstein t-shirt, and that he wanted to wear his comfy trousers too! The guinea pig village is cute 🙂
Thankfully he’s got over his ‘comfy’ trousers phase. However smart the joggers, they still look fairly scruffy
