An exciting week

The past week has been quite a good one. With going to view my car last Sunday to buying it on Monday, my spirits are still up and a little glance at my car makes me smile.
On Monday afternoon we visited Kildary Loch, a private fishing Loch but anyone can walk around it. Ewan's brother is a member so he took us all out on a rowing boat into the Loch for about an hour. There are swans and ducks all around there and if you remember to bring bread, there's normally a feeding frenzy, so after an hour long boat ride, we walked around the Loch which takes around 45min or longer if you're looking for Chanterelle mushrooms as my boys were. So Monday was a good day which ended in fish and chips from the local chippy. Dylan's favourite and a first since we've been back.
The weather's been awful /rainy so I've enjoyed the warmth of my little car at times. We did manage to go for a few cycle rides although not too long. Dylan and I sneak out in the afternoon if we can before Kieran sees and by the time we're back and had a decent ride Kieran is ready so we take him for a little ride. He can turn his pedals all the way round now but he is still all over the place, Swerving all over the road and each ride outing ends up with him riding and falling over, usually in mud. He is so interested in looking behind him he doesn't watch where he is going. Anyway, the roads are quiet so he has the time/space to learn and improve.
Our oil heating is on the blink, it seems to have a mind of it's own ands only goes on when it wants to and not when we want it to so hopefully a plumber/electrician is coming soon.
We had lunch at a friends on Wednesday with a couple of other old friends which was lovely but Kieran is still a bit shy and not really interacting with them too much yet. He just needs a bit more time to settle.
School has been a lot better this week with Kieran and Dylan. No more tears smiles all round. Yay! Lets hope it stays this way as school holidays are in 2 weeks again. Hopefully they won't regress. Dylan is reading now, level one books and is nearly finished learning the alphabet Jolly phonics style. Homework is not always liked but it has to be done.
Friday was an exciting day as it was Football day. But the feeling are not mutual with Dylan. He has such hopes of scoring lots of goals and with about 20 boys there, he didn't get too much chance to get he ball and try and score. As you know, no place positions adhered to and 19 boys running after 1ball. Was quite funny. I just told him he needs to practice and his coach said he did well for his first day. He is adamant he is not going back so we'll see.
So another week has passed and still no shipment delivery. Hope the coming week will bring good news. Have a lovely week-end :-)
P.S. My smiley is hanging on the back window of my car. I got it for my 30th birthday and can finally give him a home.
