Last night was the annual talent show at our dance school. This year was lovely because 3 of the 4 girls were in it (and the 4th decided she really missed being in it so is going back to rejoin in the new year). Fran is now one of the ‘big girls’ there; it is […]
Can the sofa get your sporty motivation back?
Apparently it can. My Netflix challenge this month was to find a way to make couple time, which is… in the run up to Xmas with 5 kids, a toy shop and a rugby and gymnastics club to take an active part in running… something of a challenge. We have, however, managed to work our […]
Level 6. For the 800th time.
This weekend was the return of the Level 6 gym competition; it was a big day for all three gym girls. Josie was determined to be top of the pile, having had to miss doing Level 5 for this year because a couple of moves just weren’t ready and Amelie, who hadn’t competed for 3 […]
Busy times.
The summer holidays are nearly over and before you know it, they’ll all be back at school again. It feels like it has been a packed holiday. Last week in particular was crammed with ‘stuff’. We went to visit my sister for the day because (aside from wanting to see them!) Fran had to go […]
The end of (this year's school) days.
We made it. Only just and not without some pain, but we made it. It’s the end of our first full year of schooling all of them. I’m pretty disgruntled about it, as I said before, but there are positives too. None of them want to leave so I suppose that is a positive. They […]
A Pox on the House.
Poor old Bene has been suffering from Chicken Pox this week. I say suffering, but in fact he’s been remarkably well with it really; we thought we were going to get it a few weeks ago when my nephew was here for a day the day before he went dotty but he missed it then, […]
Sunday Stitches: Amelie Crochet.
Amelie had a bad spell of asthma this week and had to have a couple of days off school. She was really too breathless to do much beyond sitting on the sofa and was quite down too for various reasons so I thought I would try and inspire her with my own therapy methods and […]
Amelie again. Another trip to hospital.
You know how some children just cause you nothing but trouble in the health care department? In this house, that’s Amelie. This week she excelled herself with a dramatic bit of poorliness we still haven’t got to the bottom of that resulted in some of this… Another trip to a&e. It started very suddenly on […]
Amelie Foot Update Part One
Sunday: As it stands (ha!… or doesn’t stand might be more appropriate), Amelie has done a significant amount of damage to her foot, merely by doing a perfectly normal warm up activity where she happened to go over on one foot. The first trip to A&E left us believing she had just hurt some ligaments […]
How to have a Fashion Design Birthday Party
I’m notoriously bad at organising birthday parties for my children, I think I have done about 4 in all of their lives. But when we got offered a Harumika Party Pack to review, Amelie got her wish – a birthday party for the school friends she was about to part company with that was all […]
