Living Arrows #5
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows, are sent forth’”
Kahlil Gibran
Finlay is the middle child and probably feels it too. I was the eldest and there was only two of us growing up so I have no idea what it must be like. He is one of three sometimes four children in the house and I think this is partly why he can be dramatic, to make sure he is noticed. At the weekend I took him to a part Kyle had been invited too, as he was off playing with the older children I had a bit of time with just Finlay, as Ava wasn’t there either he suddenly seemed smaller, younger. We had a cuddle watching the others bounce and then I managed to snap a few pictures of him having a go. They have captured his personality perfectly, cheeky and cute. It’s so hard to be able to give them all the 1 on 1 time that they need. I realised I miss our time together so much since he has started School this year, I’m looking forward to the summer holidays where I will make sure there is lots of time for cuddles.

Great cheeky photos! It’s so hard finding the 121 time as they get older, I’m sure he loved it with you too X #Livingarrows
Now that looks like LOTS of fun! xx
We are yet to try Zero Gravity the trampoline park near us, looks fun!
Love this quote. These trampoline and free jump parks seem to be bouncing up everywhere (excuse the pun), I’m looking forward to trying some out with my eldest! #picknmix
Where are you?It looks like loads of fun!!Glad you got to spend some one on one time with your little man, I imagine it’s really difficult to spend as much time as you would like when you have 3 children. Lovely photos xx #picknmix
Great photos, looks like lots of fun! x #PicknMix
That looks like lots of fun! I would want to dive in there myself! #PicknMixFridays
Lovely photos hun! I hope you both have fab school holiday soon, and get that 1-1 time you need. Claire x #PickNMix
Lovely photos! He looks like he’s having a great time. Hope you both get that 1 on 1 time together xx #picnmix
Oh we love trampoline parks! We recently went with my eldest and not only was it fun but we got some much needed 1-1 time too. Fab photos! #picknmix
I love your photos – isn’t it great when you manage to capture something of what makes your children who they are, a snapshot of their personalities coming through. Being a middle child must be tricky. Your little lad looks like a wonderful chap #picknmix
I would love to have a play at one of these trampoline places myself if there were any down here 😉 Lovely photos hon and 1 on 1 time is hard to get, I always feel like my youngest doesn’t get much of it at all, as my eldest has a lot more time off of school for various reasons. They all now how much you love them though and that’s what matters 🙂

Aww… this is so lovely. I am a middle child too in a family of 7! So I can totally understand Finlay. He is such a joy on the giant trampoline! Thank you for hosting. x #PicknMix
Looks like he had loads of fun 🙂
I have taken my Finley to a trampoline park and he loved it! Looks like your Finlay did too #picknmix xx
He looks very happy, its lovely that you are looking forward to the time together that you’ll get over the summer. It’s all precious time and great:)

Awww I know exactly what you mean – I don’t get much one-on-one time with my eldest but when I do I suddenly realise that he is only 6! I love the look of the trampoline park – will have to take my boys to one over the Summer I think. #PickNMix
Looks like lots of fun! There’s a big trampoline place near us in Bristol, will have to check it out sometime soon 🙂 #PicknMix
Great pictures & that looks like a lot of fun! #PicknMix
Looks like loads of fun, think we need to visit one of these soon! 🙂 x #picknmix
