Only 1 more day left of the Summer holidays! On Wednesday morning we will be back down with a bang so tomorrow we are going to have a nice picnic and loads of cuddles and hopefully an early night so we'll start the school year off in good moods.

Blue is really excited about seeing Mrs Carr so thats really positive and I'm really hopeful that this will be a really good year for him. He's worked really hard throughout the holidays and both his reading and writing have come on so well, I'm really proud of him.

As for Pink, she is going down to the pre-school room which makes me feel sick if I'm really honest. The though of her starting school next September is enough to bring me to tears, my baby is getting so big! She actually put herself in to her car seat today and then lent over and clipped her own seatbelt!!! That is just about the only thing left that she lets me do for her and I can't believe it. I'm almost redundant!

Anyway today we went for Pinks swimming lesson and she was super confident, holding her woggle and kicking her legs she managed to get the whole way across without guidance! We then went to the library where Blue picked up his medal for the Summer reading challenge, he had a beaming grin when the guy handed it to him, bless!!!!!

The rest of the day was just chilling really and getting on with Blues Summer holiday journal to Mrs Carr and also a reading exercise we started using a really good book he received for his birthday http://www.amazon.co.uk/Write-Stuff-Creative-Writing-Boys/dp/184958334X which I think will really help him to become more excited about writing.

Once the kids had their tea (cabbage, potato and bacon) and daddy came home from work he babysitter came round and myself and Daddy went for a run. 3k which we ran most of which I was impressed with. 5 days til Tough Mudder and the nerves are starting to kick in a little now :-/
