“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”
Kahlil Gibran
I found myself taking a lot of pictures this weekend and have really struggled to pick just one.
Riley’s photo this week was from our trip to the park where he got to play football with his dad. Right now we are getting to appreciate the fact that Kevin is on secondment at work and no longer working shifts and every other weekend. Its to last for 8 weeks and I just hope it doesn’t go too quickly.
Riley loves having a kick about with the football so I decided it would be fun to take him along to the park where they had freshly painted lines on the pitch. He immediatly saw the goalposts and got very excited about the “score posts” as he has rebranded them. To true footballer style he took a couple of dives, skidded on his knees and got himself nice and muddy.
Dirty jeans, tongue sticking out in concentration behind a massive smile; this is the look of a wee boy who was truly loving having his daddy back at the weekends again!
The look on his face is priceless! Love it!

ah his face! Enjoy your weekends, I remember when my husband went from shifts and weekends to a 9-5 working week and it was lovely to have those extra weekends together. #livingarrows

Thank you! We are definitely doing as much as we can together just in case the secondment doesn’t result in a permanent role, its so nice just having normal weekends!x
He certainly looks like he’s having lots of fun. How fantastic you have 8 weeks all together, hope it doesn’t go too fast for you all. #LivingArrows

It already feels like its flying. I’m just remaining hopeful 8 weeks will turn into something a little longer, but who knows!x
It must be so lovely for you all to have Daddy home so much more consistently and he clearly loves football! Great photo x
Author
It has been lovely so far. I’m just waiting for the days when he starts asking to go to watch the football!x
We’ve loved spending more time at the park the last few days where the weather has been lovely. #LivingArrows

The weather has been brilliant recently hasn’t it? We’ve been getting lots of fresh air recently!x
Boys and their football. My four year old asked me to play football with him in the garden yesterday. #livingarrows

Haha its the one thing thats guaranteed with most boys – a love of football! It’s great in a world ruled by being online that kids still love going outside to play football.x
Oh this is so lovely, both the photo and the story behind it! x #LivingArrows
Author
Thank you 🙂 x
Aww that’s so lovely it must be hard when he’s having to work. Something we take for granted and you have reminded me to stop! Football is a great hit here too. #livingarrows

Its too easy to do though isn’t it? I never appreciated our weekends before Kevin started working them, after a hard week of work its easy to just want to relax instead!
Oh the tongue concentration is adorable – he looks so happy here! #livingarrows
Author
hehe every time I look at the photo I do giggle a little bit. It is a proper concentration face!x
What a fab action shot – I bet you’re all loving having daddy home at the weekends. #LivingArrows

It has been brilliant so far! No doubt I will get annoyed with him being under my feet every weekend again, but for now it is still nice! x
