The last couple of weeks have just been a blur and not knowing how the time flies. I've been working 6 days a week now therefore trying to fit it all in 1 day. When I mean all, I mean cleaning the house top to bottom, correcting the kids work and sitting with them to go over things they didn't understand and spending time with them.
The kids have been quite upset they can't see me as much but they are being rockstars. They pull their weight around the house and can do house chores for me so I don't have to spend much time on cleaning. I do some basic cleaning during the week like dusting, vacuuming and laundry. Cooking seems to be nonstop. In the morning, before work, i cook lunch for everyone and once I come home from work, after my shower, I'm going straight in the kitchen to cook dinner because if I ever sit without doing the necessary, I'm not getting up from that sofa because I'll be too exhausted to get up.
Anyways, after work, on warm days, we go out for our long walks and we love finding out hidden paths and corners of our borough. The kids have been baking and cooking more which has become a favourite past time of theirs. We've done colouring and have been followinghttps://www.redtedart.com to do more arts and crafts. We came across a super cool pokemon evolution kaleidoscope which Mahi can't get enough. I had to involve my colleague though for the origami part as i'm so bad with it. Lucky has found a new interest in testing my dancing skills and so battling with her has been exhausting but at least I'm keeping myself active.
For my wellbeing, I've been heavily invested in both Money Heist (what the hell was that last season's ending?!!!) and now Breaking Bad. This means I had no time for my other hobbies such as jewellery making. I'm also reading non-stop and finished 3 books in 3 weeks. After work, me and the kids have been spending time together by building our mini library. It is coming along nicely, i have to say.
On the studying side and with a few key celebrities happening, the kids have been learning about other cultures. It was Vaisakhi so the kids learnt about Sikhism and came up with a extremely good rap about the Gudwara and had fun recreating Punjabi dancing (i've given up after a few minutes!). Since it is Ramadan, the kids have been learning about Islam and are observing 21 days of kindness too which is one of the key elements of Ramadan. It was also VE day so the kids baked VE day cupcakes and decorated the house with bunting. All thanks to Twinkl for providing me with plenty of resources for the kids to expand their knowledge.
Keep up the good work everyone!
