End of a long week

Finally we have reached the end of what has seemed to be the slowest week ever! The children were disagreeing with me on that point. They have had a week full of activity; one playing her instrument all week; the other singing, dancing and acting.

The moments of joy in my week have been watching them both perform. Small girl sang her heart out; songs from Shrek the musical and The Lion King. Tall girl played quartets; orchestral pieces and sang and moved to the music too.

I have huge respect for the staff who run these summer holiday programmes. Fantastic organisation skills and brilliant at knowing how to get children to perform their best.

In other news; Tall girl has finally mastered the art of loom band charms. We have had a penguin and an owl made this week. I am hoping for one to attach to my keys which have been lost several times recently!

Sadly the weather has not been so fair as it was the last few weeks; but we still managed to squeeze in a picnic in the park yesterday after the performances.

I am now only in work for a few more days; and the children still have four and half weeks of the holidays left!

Lets hope the sun starts to shine again.
