This week has been the stuff of routine. Getting up each morning, taking Cheeky Chap to school, chores during the day, afternoons and evenings at home of reading and phonics practice. Life has been steady, normal, mundane almost for a while now. I am used to something happening, a drama of some sort filling my thoughts and dreams, something to fret over and get anxious about. When life is quiet, normal I feel content but also like I am waiting for something to happen, to go wrong.
I want a photo with a story behind it and I didn’t think I had that this week because we have been plodding in the normal stuff. No adventures or stories to tell. In fact, I had just a few shots on my phone, none of which I could repair or make nice enough to put on here. Then something stuck me; take a photo of now, this moment right here. My little family around me, doing our own things together in each other’s company.
Cheeky Chap winding down in front of the iPad after a busy day. The husband watching the football match on the TV. Me trying to blog.Β This is aΒ normal Saturday evening and makes me content, at peace.
A great shot of the family in microcosm. Like Harry, our three kids seem to like doing stuff with the minimum of clothes on too.
It’s a perfect scene, that reflects contentment x
A lovely ordinary moment captured. Has a very content relaxed feel to it π
Such a modern image. I love the concentration π
A great picture of modern family life
It is, isn’t it?!
Wonderful ordinary moment, perfectly captured x
Thank you Sara. π x
funny isn’t it how happy you can be just pottering around doing your own stuff with all the family doing their own stuff and feeling happy just to be together? π
A true sign of contentment I think. π
I love this photo! I think it sums up a lot of families. Everyone looks happy doing their own thing π
We are; needed it really after a busy day.
A pretty typical family scene…thought it’d be me blogging and my wife watching TV! Great shot of family life in action.
It does seem to be fairly standard!
Kinda like how it is in my household. Phonics taking over our lives. Lovely photo =) #mysundayphoto
We are having trouble with blends here. So frustrating as all the sounds can be said independently, just need to blend them together!
I love that you let your son use the ipad – using computers is a skill every child should learn as early as possible. You really captured your family wind down time story with this shot.
He is better on it than the husband!
I love this photo! A lot like my home on a Sunday….hehehe
It is a lot like many homes I think!
Love this photo, it’s pretty much the same in this house too
Thank you for linking up
I think that could be a scene from many bloggers homes, it could easily be mine π Zx
Ah it’s lovely that you are feeling so content, sometimes the mundane and ordinary are the best. Love the photo, it definitely could be a scene from my house too! Thanks for linking up lovely, it’s fab having you! xx
Perfect picture, I wish my boys would let me blog!!
He hee – loving all the screen time going on there! I’m always quite relieved when my five year old gets wrapped up in his programmes and we’re all free to do our thing (mine mostly being blogging!) but then I have a two year old who throws a massive spanner into the works π X #mysundayphoto #ordinarymoments
