Project 366, 234/366 - Brave

We spent the afternoon at the library for a themed crafts event. After story time (Brave) the Mini Mes got to create a crown, an arrow book mark and then attempt archery which they were very good at. Here is Minxy in her crown complete with red Merida style hair!

My Week That Was...

The summer holidays seem to be flying by! Half way already eek - that means back to school and work in three weeks *boo, hiss* although we still have lots planned that I'm looking forward to.







Monday we had family over in the evening so we spent the day baking flapjacks (the Mini Mes keep requesting these), making our own mint choc and marshmallow ice cream and watching movies.

Tuesday was a quiet one at home with a bit of housework thrown in too. The Mini Mes seemed to wake on the wrong sides of their beds so staying in was a good decision with the rain too.

Wednesday we spent a lovely day at the zoo - you can read more about that here and see the lovely pictures. The sun shone, we met up with some friends that I've not seen since March 2010 and we enjoyed watching the various animals.

Thursday we had a bike ride to the shops and a bit of a chill day. The Mini Mes were both exhausted from the previous day.

Friday we headed to town first thing. We returned some library books and the Mini Mes collected their stickers, certificates and medals for completing the summer reading challenge. We popped to the pet shop and collected some holiday feeder for the fish and some treats for Spartan. We had a subways for lunch (yum) and in the evening we tested a product we received to review (the review and giveaway is scheduled for Friday while we are away!)

Saturday was a day at home with housework and a bit of packing. Sunday was pretty much the same ensuring everything was sorted ready for our few days break this week.

What did you get up to last week?

My week that was...

The change in weather from good to bad meant the majority of the week was spent indoors avoiding the rain, but we still managed to have a lovely week.

Monday we spent the morning watching a movie and the afternoon baking; Rice Krispies raspberry bites and flap jacks.

Tuesday we went to a mini beast event at the library. We thought it involved handling lizards and snakes like last year but it was a craft event.

Wednesday we went to the leisure centre for an Olympic craft event where the Mini Mes got to decorate t-shirts and biscuits. Afterwards we went to a Tangled craft event at the library and then we visited my friend and her children. In the evening the Mini Mes went to their dad's house for the evening so the Mr and I went to see Batman at the cinema.

Thursday we spent the morning making crystals and Zubber bracelets and then we had a Subways for lunch. The rest of the day was spent at home watching the Olympics and a movie.

Friday I had to wait in for a hamper delivery so the Mini Mes played nicely together and then we used some of the food from the hamper to make lunch. In the afternoon the Mini Mes went to their dads home for the weekend so I had a nice relaxing evening in with the Mr, wine and we watched Cruel Intentions.

Saturday after a lovely lay in we went to the cinema to see Ted followed by an evening at the pub for the quiz night. We were joined by my mum, my brother and his girlfriend. We came fourth and won £5... it's the taking part that counts, right?!

Sunday we did a little retail therapy and had breakfast in town with my mum. In the afternoon we headed to Tesco for the food shop and then spent the afternoon in doing bits and bobs around the house.
