Catching up

Well, now that we have all caught our breath, it is time to reflect and get excited about the summer holidays that start this Friday for Jamie and next Wednesday for me! So here is a potted few weeks.
Emily finishes Nursery school next Thursday and has had a wonderful year.
She got into the Primary school we wanted after a successful appeal. She is now in the same class as 5 of her friends from Nursery.
We got her uniform last week. :)
Joel has been recovering from yet another virus, so lack of sleep and appetite for him and us!
Joel is chatting more, his favourite words are donkey, airplane, penny, football, no and sweeties. Usually not in the one sentence, but wouldn't that be an interesting idea!
We have entered the world of Disney Princesses with Ariel and Price Eric, Jasmine with Aladdin, Prince Philip with Sleeping Beauty, daily gracing our dinner table.
I have had sinusitis, fluid in my ears, a chest and throat infection.
Our loft conversion is finished, we are now painting and decorating it.
Our conservatory is half up with the brick work done, tomorrow the frames should arrive.
My class staged 'Bugsy Malone' last week - they were amazing.
I wrote 31 school reports and so far there has been no 'fall out!'
I saw Hairspray at Manchester Opera House. It was so, so great.
Jamie is busy writing speeches for colleagues who are leaving his department, he has survived his first term as a Head of Department and has enjoyed it.
Our potatoes and shallots are growing well with the much needed but unwanted rain.
It's my baby sister's birthday tomorrow and my dad's birthday tomorrow.
Jamie and I celebrate 15 years together next month as well as our 10 year wedding anniversary.
Well, that is enough, I need to go to find food for tomorrow's tea as well as bags for Nursery and our Child Minder.
