First week of summer holiday 2020

20 - 26 July 2020
Weather: A typical bit of everything.

A few days late, but here is last week which was also the first week of the summer holiday. Nothing too exciting, we've gotten so used to just being at home!

Tabby decided to move in with the Sylvanian Family.

The Barbies had a much needed post-lockdown visit to the hair salon. See this before and after below! Isabella also made a video on how she did this, but mummy still needs to check it for Barbie nudity before it can go to YouTube... We might need to do a second salon day with Barbies wearing swimming costumes next time!

Isabella made another video with her squishies. Awaiting editing from mummy... Isabella is going to start having her own YouTube channel which we will hopefully get set up this week, then she can upload her videos there and daddy can upload his videos on his channel since they're totally unrelated content!

We tried out some cat grass seeds for Tabby. They grew super fast! And he is enjoying nibbling on it when he needs to.

We received some succulent leaves from a friend to propagate. These two little ones are doing really well as well as another larger type of leaf which has some strong roots already. Isabella looks after them in her room.

Play parks have opened up again! We've only been once or twice, just so used to staying home now.

And Isabella is doing really well on Andre's One Wheel!

We've moved on from all the Barbie playing to now playing with the 'Our Generation' dolls.

On Sunday we met friends at the river to go paddle boarding. It was typical British weather with gorgeous sunshine and serious rain too!

We have learnt that Isabella is just not an animal person. Below she is trying to get away from the cutest cygnets.

Isabella asked to have Andre's photo equipment out when we got home. She had a long line of dolls and soft toy animals who wanted to have their pictures taken, including one real soft animal!

And that was it. Today is Tuesday of the second week and I'm thinking I need to plan a little something to get us out of the house tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to blog on time this Sunday and we'll see then if I did get us out and doing something more exciting during the week!
