Start of the summer holidays

Yesterday was the start of the holidays and we spent the morning running errands and the afternoon at the lagoon. Unfortunately today started off with lots of rain so we got the paints out and the little people got creative, thankfully by the afternoon the rain had cleared and the sun had come out so we headed off to the lagoon again the little people on scooters. Daisy and Sam were very happy as we bumped into Mia and Ethan so they had lots of fun.

Ummm not sure the idea is to completely paint your hands black but that is 2.5 year olds for you!

Today was Daisy's last day in Reception at school. In September she will be in Year 1, it fills like only yesterday that it was her very first day at school, our little lady is growing up fast. As it was her last day Daisy took in her camera to get some pics of her friends.

Daisy has loved her first year at school and made lots of friends, her gang of girlfriends includes: Jess, Libby, Mia, Jelena, Nancy and Flo. Juda has been Daisy's boyfriend since Christmas although recently she has been mentioning Spike and Rocky as well!!!!

Holly Dolly

Daisy's dance school holds a show every three years and this year it was Holly Dolly. She performed for three nights and one afternoon so was pretty shattered after it all although she wasnt too happy it had all finished as she loved having her make up and hair done.

Nanny and Grandad went to see Daisy perform on Thursday night and Nanny Maureen, Aunty Jo, Cala, Aunty Debby and I went on Saturday night.

I cannot believe the family wedding of the year is upon us... Jay is getting married tomorrow to Kelly. We have had a busy day with a nice relaxing morning, then Daisy had a three hour dress rehearsal for her dance show at the end of the week, more relaxing at home and then we headed over to the Irelands for a BBQ.
