So the kids finish school 22nd June and are just going back tomorrow!!!! Wow - yes a whopping 9 1/2 weeks of hols........forgotten how to get to school it's been so long!
Won't bore you with all the holiday details as much of it was in the UK but a great and exhausting time had by all!!!! We were in Brighton and on the beach there....fleeting visit to Harpenden and a great night at Take That! before a mad dash back to Lux.......unpack, wash and re-pack and in less than 24 hours on a plane to Majorca for our family hol! This was the relaxing time we needed (probably mostly to do with Ruby going to the baby club for a few hours every morning and then picking her up , quick play and hey presto! it's time for her afternoon nap! So plenty of time by the pool, playing tennis, swimming etc etc etc. Good time had by all :-) Kids loved the entertainment.......bit cheesy for us but we enjoyed the music whilst sipping vino on our patio without having to actually watch the show!!!!! The mini disco was a great hit with the girls....we couldn't get Ruby past the stage without her strutting her stuff first :-))))
Anyway here are some pics from the summer................

always time for a day at Woodside farm.............
Millie's birthday celebrations continue back in Lux...............
Belles of the Birthday ball!
Back in Lux was surprisingly enjoyable for the week we were there......new neighbours moved in and couldn't have asked for better.....boy conor's age (also into football............or soccer as they would say!)......girl Millie's age and equally as energetic!..........so those 2 were occupied most of the week and Ruby just pleased to be in familiar territory for a bit!
We have spent the past month in the UK mostly in Harpenden and Yorkshire and we had a great time basically just hanging out! We even squeezed in a weekend camping trip down to WEst Wittering with friends (thankfully they had an extra tent for us and we kindly borrowed the rest of the kit! Kids had a ball and we made it to the beach both days......although my feet couldn't survive the sea temp so I didn't get very far in ......only enough to chase afer Ruby when required!!!!! )
I arrived back in Lux exhausted and in need of a holiday!!?!!?!?!!? Instead we have some boring school-prep chores to do and Millies birthday sleepover!!!!! So a house full of five 7-year olds (and two 9-10 year olds so Conor had a playmate!!!) - still fairly high maintenance at that age.....although it was all fine (apart from getting them finally to sleep at 11pm!!!.....no evening for us then!!!) and good old Wilkinsons saw us through with loads of art kits i shipped back with us from UK to keep them busy after swimming which meant I could make dinner in relative peace!! Millie was happy anyway :-))) Thankfully they didn't surface until after 8am so can't complain too much.....of course I was ready to get rid of everyone in the morning and mums came about 10.30 but the girls insisted we had to watch their "show"!!!!!! come on.................go go go..............!!!!!!!!!! Shaun took Conor to football......both girls in bed for a nap....................peace at last :-)
