The last week before Christmas has been a busy one, but not necessarily one which lends itself well to pictures, unfortunately.
But here’s our week 51 in pictures…
Day 348 – Sunday 14th December – a new Christmas decoration to brighten the house up.
Day 349 – Monday 15th December – we went to see the Cubs and Scouts Christmas performance, which is always very entertaining. My younger did an I’m a Celebrity spoof with his friends.
Day 350 – Tuesday 16th December – my mum gave us her old fibre optic Christmas tree. It’s hard to take a photo of it, but it looks really beautiful in reality.
Day 351 – Wednesday 17th December – the younger kids took part in their school Christmas concert at a church. My son was ill in the morning and we weren’t sure whether he would make it.
Day 352 – Thursday 18th December – sadly my younger son has taken far too much of these this week!
Day 353 – Friday 19th December – the last day of term and we were invited to school for a special assembly in which my daughter received this certificate.
Day 354 – Saturday 20th December – we’re getting very close to the end of the advent calendar!
Linking to Project 365 with TheBoyandMe Pop over to see what others have been doing with their week.

Sounds like very busy week. I think we were all pretty glad this week was over – not least your son who probably needs a jolly good rest! Hope he gets better really soon x
December 22, 2014
Thanks very much. It is a good week, but it does get quite tiring! Poor boy is still ill now – day 6. x
December 20, 2014
What a great way for your daughter to end the term, love the new decoration and hope your son is better soon. Have a lovely Christmas.
December 22, 2014
Thank you! It really was brilliant for my daughter and for all of us. My poor son is still poorly, hoping it can’t drag on much longer. Merry Christmas!

Love the interior of the church – beautiful. We have had the call pol out this week, definitely the end of term illness time. Hope it’s all gone by next Thursday! Happy Christmas lovely 🙂
December 22, 2014
Merry Christmas! It really is a stunning church. I’ve had enough of the end of term illnesses now! He’s still not better 🙁

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Sarah xxx
December 22, 2014
Thank you! You too! 🙂 x

Sounds like a busy week! We don’t have any of the school stuff at all, it’s a bit sad really. The boys will have holiday parties on Monday and that’s it! Hope your son is feeling better. Love your new decoration x
December 22, 2014
That is sad not to have the school stuff. It’s exhausting, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s an essential part of Christmas! My fingers are firmly crossed for my son’s recovery. x

Hope the medicine is no longer needed now!! loving the fibre optic tree, very pretty x
December 22, 2014
Thank you! Sadly we’re still using the damn medicine 🙁 x
December 21, 2014
Hope the medicine isn’t needed for much longer. Quite a week of achievements despite the sickness.
December 22, 2014
It was definitely a good week! Although we are still using the medicine 🙁

We have been a medicine filled house this week – well done little lady on your certificate. Eliza was proud of her 100% attendance award this week too.
I love our fore optic tree, they look amazing in the dark
December 22, 2014
Well done to Eliza. My daughter got an attendance certificate too. Seems to have been a bad week for poorly kids everywhere.
Thanks, the tree looks amazing in the dark – sadly it’s really difficult to photograph it and do it justice!

Some lovely Christmasy decorations there. Well done to your daughter on her certificate. I hpe your son is better now! #365
December 22, 2014
Thanks very much 🙂 Sadly my son still isn’t better! 🙁
December 21, 2014
Hope your little boy gets better soon. I know what you mean about too much calpol and ibuprofen. (And paracetamol for me!). Bah to winter bugs!!
December 22, 2014
There’s been so many of them around this winter! I would definitely like my boy to be better now, though!
December 21, 2014
Hope illnesses soon pass.
Love the fibre optic tree, so pretty
December 22, 2014
Thanks very much! My son is still poorly, but my fingers are crossed he will be better in time for Christmas. I love the fibre optic tree, but the photos don’t do it justice at all!
December 21, 2014
Hope your son is feeling better. Somehow we are escaping illness in this house but everyone is sooo tired.
December 22, 2014
Thank you! I’ve heard about so many families with ill people that I think you’ve done pretty well to avoid it!
December 21, 2014
a huge we done on the certificate, it really does make all the parenting hassles worth while. Oh dear at the medicine, hope it clears up soon.
Have to say I am a fibre optic tree lover.
Hope you all have a great Christmas and look forward to seeing your post at the other side of it.
December 22, 2014
Thanks very much! Hoping the after Christmas post is medicine free!
I was so proud of my daughter with that certificate – it was a real achievement 🙂
December 21, 2014
Love the Christmas decoration in the top photo, although I did think it was a funky Christmas themed cheese grater to start with! We’ve got through a fair bit of Calpol this week too, hope he’s better soon.
December 22, 2014
Ha ha, I thought it looked like a cheese grater too! Damn Calpol, there’s been far too much of it lately!
December 22, 2014
Thanks very much, it was a good week. He’s not quite better yet, poor boy. Hoping he’ll be recovered in time for Christmas.

That is a pretty damned fabulous certificate to be awarded, she should be proud of herself!
Thanks for linking up to Project 365.
December 27, 2014
Thank you! She was proud, but she was also faintly embarrassed. I, on the other hand, was bursting with pride!
