Finally school hols

School terms here run for approx 10 weeks without a break so by the end it is a struggle to roll out of bed !! Twice this last week Nakita was late for school as she couldn't get herself ready. It looks like this may be a common thing as they are changing the school hours again next term so that they start 10 minutes later (8.40am) and no early close. I always forget that they finish early at 1.50 on a Thursday (have even left them there waiting quite a while before realizing !), what's the betting that now they finish the same time every day I show up early on Thursdays !!

Anyway, I'm sure I've mentioned before that Tallulah is taught dancesport at school. This is really ballroom dancing to hip hop music and the kids love it. Every year they have a social dance in the evening showing off their talents and having a party, however, due to the industrial action being taken by some of the teachers, this year it was cancelled (as well as the school camp, graduation, excursions etc etc - cheers teachers !!!!!!!) so they had a mini afternoon performance. As it rained early on, Paul was home so we both were able to go and watch. It was awesome what they had learnt. They had all the old time dances off pat to modern music and 'line dancing' consisted of hip hop moves to rap style songs whilst in a line.  They all danced with a partner which was quite funny as a lot of the boys were small and the girls mostly tall and there was obviously more boys than girls !! At the end the parents had to join in ........ lucky Paul was there really !!

Anyway, school all over for another term, hols are now in full flow. We have trips lined up to visit friends and the museum and I have promised to decorate Tallulahs bedroom which is no mean feat as the shower leaks into that room !! So no rest or chill days here....will I ever learn !!
