James attended his second session of Rugby Tots this morning - he really enjoyed it.

Mike was working so my Mum took us in, James insisted that his big bro came along to watch too.

Becky and Danny are off for three days now as it is Parents Day on Monday, so we get to go and talk to their teachers.  Only a few weeks now left of this term, and then they would have both completed a year (give or take a couple of weeks) in school.

So far so good.

Now its time to start planning activities for the school summer holidays - never had to do that before, where on earth do I start?
  
I think the first week will be a novelty of not having to get up and get ready for school each day, so that means no plans and just chilling.

Both children have done extremely well in adjusting to this sudden structure in the mornings, and I have not had any problems in them getting up early every weekday morning to get ready for school.   At a toddler group once, back in the early days of deciding to home educate, and foolishly telling othe rmothers in the group, one lady told me that it was a silly idea and how on earth are my children going to hold down a job in the future.  She said that going to school prepared them for getting up early in the morning and getting ready for work, and that if they were taught at home, they would not be able to get up in time for work as there would be no dicipline at home.

Well, both Becky and Danny get up at 6am, shower, eat, pack there stuff for school and are ready to go out the door at 8.15am.  Sometimes Danny will even make their lunch the evening before.

So in your face Mrs whatsername, who nagged me every Tuesday at the group about home educating.  I actually ended up telling her that we inherited some money and where actually going to send them to Private School - this annoyed her even more and she thought that I thought I was "better" than the rest of them and she didnt speak to me anymore.  Thank goodness for that.

Anyway - back to the here and now.

Becky is making cakes at the moment for the Rugby Car Boot Refreshment Stall tomorrow, grateful that she has made a few extra as they look really scrummy.

Danny is chilling out in his room with his Guitar

Becky has finally got her Keyboard, special deal meant that she got a set of headphones and a stand free.

So lots of practising going on there.   There was a nice moment when Becky was on her keyboard and Danny was accompanying her on the guitar.  This lasted only a few minutes as Danny only knows how to play a few chords, and this irratated Becky slightly.

Started this blog post with the sun streaming through the window, finished his blog post with it chucking down with rain.

Hoping for some dry weather soon, my tan from the April Sun is starting to fade.
