Summer has arrived again!

For the first time since the sun started rising early, Ollie has finally slept in! We had to move his bed as every morning without fail he would be down at 6.30am watch tv as he couldn't sleep!
They have two weeks left at school, it only feels like they have been back five minutes. Lucas will be changing schools, so he has a new adventure starting in September. He is really excited about it, but a little sad too. These will be the last few weeks of them riding the bus together until they are at high school :( Lucas spends two years at upper elementary and then onto middle school for another two years, and then to high school, so it is a lot different in comparison to what we are used to in the UK.

I have been getting my ass kicked every morning at a bootcamp. I go with my neighbour at five o'clock in the morning, FIVE days a week! To have a woman shout at me...but i really enjoy it. Just means that i'm crap in the evenings and fall asleep at nine! I've been doing well with fitness, i finished a twelve week program that was really hard, but i've seen some good results. I have found a new hobby, which is a rarity. But it's nice to drop Finn off and have some time to just be me.
Everything has been so busy over the last few months, it's nice to switch off when i go to the gym or bootcamp. Weird as that sounds!

So in less than a month we will be back in the UK. I'm dreading the flight and hoping for an easy time with the kids, but i know the inlaws will be there to help. Eight hours on a plane, with a fidgety one year old won't be easy! Very excited to be seeing everyone, and having all the "normal" food. Although, i'm not sure that's going to help with my fitness! :)
The boys are looking forward to coming back, the first thing they are doing when they get off the plane is buying wotsits (They have to get past me first though)
All i have been dreaming about at the moment is walking around London, or saying goodbye to family at the airport...not just a couple though... every bloody night. It's like yes ok i get it.. move on already :)

Summer seems to have arrived over here, although i'm constantly being told it's still too cool. 30c for me is a summers day! The humidity is crazy. My naive husband of mine sent us all out with jumpers and jeans the other day it was "only" 25c..go figure

Apart from our UK trip thats about it! It's going to feel weird coming back and seeing everything in a different light. Funny how you quickly adjust to the surroundings and culture.

Finn will be turning one next week, i'm still in shock about how quickly it has gone. He is such a happy baby, eats anything and everything. He is very close to walking, but likes to tease. It's lovely to see how the boys are around him, pure love from all of them..even if the elder two struggle to hold him for more than a minute :) It'll be nice to introduce him to the family. It's been a while since a baby was in the family, and he's definitely more of a toddler now.
I completely forgot how much effort it is to have a toddler, nowhere is safe :)

Anyhoo, time to wake the boys and start my day!

Love to all.. see u soonly
