Back to school and back to normal this week after the ups and downs of half-term. It was nice to have more variety in my photos last week.
Here’s what we’ve been up to this week…
Day 152 – Sunday 1st June – after the excitement of the Wychwood Festival, we settled for a quiet day and our first barbecue this year. Our house has a built-in barbecue in the garden, which we were testing out.
Day 153 – Monday 2nd June – I interrupted a day of writing speculative emails to go and buy some cards – June is a busy month with lots of birthdays, plus anniversaries and Father’s Day.
Day 154 – Tuesday 3rd June – one of those days when not a lot happened, but at least my garden keeps surprising me with new mystery flowers!
Day 155 – Wednesday 4th June – it did nothing but rain all day. I’m not generally a fan of selfies, but I took this one when I was walking back from dropping the kids at school and I quite liked it.
Day 156 – Thursday 5th June – the sun was back out and I went into the garden to take yet more flower photos (I’ll share more in a separate post next week!).
Day 157 – Friday 6th June – my boys went on Scout camp together for the first time.
Day 158 – Saturday 7th June – with the boys away, we took advantage and did some reorganising of their bedrooms. Of course, they should really do it themselves, but the rooms had got into a bad way (his windowsill is still cluttered though!). After five months in the house, my younger son finally got a blind in his room.
Linking to Project 365 with TheBoyandMe Pop over to see what others have been doing with their week.

Nice to see you in front of the camera! I like the yellow hoodie 🙂 Lovely flowers and your boys’ bags are huuuuge!
June 8, 2014
Thanks very much 🙂 It’s not often I make it in front of the camera! Who would have thought two bags of that size could get filled just for a weekend?

Hehe Sarah you’re getting that flower bug aren’t you! I can’t help myself. Must have been great to have a BBQ and try it out for the first time in your new garden. Well done on the selfie, especially on such a soggy day. Hope the boys have a great time at scout camp.

I certainly am getting the flower bug! My garden is full of them and it’s always changing. Now I’m at home all the time, I like to wander round the garden and really look at the flowers. The boys had a really good time, thanks.

Hope the scout camp went well – I know you were worried about the weather. Love your mystery flower (hardy geranium).
June 8, 2014
Thanks, I’d never heard of a hardy geranium! (Only a normal one.) They had a few hours of rain, but that was all. They really enjoyed it.
June 8, 2014

I’ve always wanted a built in barbecue, hope it was nice

That bedroom with all the rubbish on the window sill looks a little like my eldest daughter’s! I do hope they had a fab time away on Cub Camp and their clothes don’t come back too damp and smelly after yesterday….
June 9, 2014
They created a load of washing each – even the clean clothes needed to go in! But they had a good time.
June 8, 2014
We need to have our first BBQ this year, I love them! I hope the boys had a nice time and the sun was shining for them 🙂 x

Love your week in photos!! …Especially the sausages!! One of the things I most regularly miss from UK!
…And wow, those are some serious rucksacks!
June 9, 2014
Thanks very much. I’m told the sausages were very nice (I wouldn’t know, I’m vegetarian!).
June 9, 2014
Oh that first photo so made me miss good English sausages – they don’t have the same type in the US! Beautiful flower pix
June 9, 2014
Thanks very much. I didn’t realise they didn’t have the same sausages in the US!

I like your glasses! Scout camps are so brilliant for outdoorsy types my son is at school activity week this week too.
June 12, 2014
There must be something about June – we have a huge number of birthdays and anniversaries this month too.
June 14, 2014
That selfie makes me smile, you have such a serious face. Tell me about the boys and bedroom thing; my two make such a horrendous mess and NEVER clear it up themselves either. Gorgeous flowers and how lucky are you to have a built in barbecue!
June 14, 2014
Mmmmm BBQ. Those bags look bigger than them, I love it
