So, school has finished. I’ve given back all the piano music for the year. We’re off until the 5th September when being a Swan in Year 3 and a Puffin in Year 1 await (can you learn how to make Puffin cakes Mummy?). We’ve had our customary sitting room picnic tea and the uniforms are in the wash.
2 years ago our summer was based around Great Ormond Street Hospital – a 2 week inpatient stay and all the preparation involved. We were also helping to look after Renata from Just Bring The Chocolate‘s lovely Lilia and Elliot whilst Dominic was beginning what was to be a very long stretch in GOSH. It wasn’t a proper ‘holiday’ – we were in limbo land and as much as we did some fun stuff, the prospect of our time in GOSH loomed.
Last year we hurtled around like mad things, trying to do all the, ahem, normal, stuff you do in a summer holiday plus all the stuff we hadn’t done the year before.
This year, as I’ve enjoyed my reduced ‘sling it and ding it’ curry I’ve made a few resolutions for the holidays…
-
- We shall go and check up on Scott at the Zoo and visit all the new Zoo Babies
-
- and see how Nevea is doing with her flying
-
- We will finish the Easter Eggs
-
- We shall go to the Splashpark (hopefully with friends)
-
- We’ll play on a beach somewhere
-
- We’ll look for the small things
-
- and explore our local area a bit more
-
- We shall have fun in the garden (what am I saying???)
-
- and I shall try and keep the camera dry
-
- We shall spend as much time as we can outside
-
- I shall keep working on my macro shots
-
- We shall see Mammasaurus, Queen Scamp and Ozzie and hopefully Anya from Older Single Mum too
-
- We’ll work on some more cake for Bake Yummy (or just eat it)
-
- We shall make the most of the Olympics and Paralympics and buy the merchandise in the sale!
That’s not too ambitious is it??
I’ll be blogging about our exploits on here (the Cheetahs are very excited about the holidays and the Olympics) and posting more pictures over on my other (new – please pop by!) blog Just Photos By Me.
What are you resolutions for the summer holidays?
