Music Festival
Is how this week has panned out so far........
Tomorrow is the 4th of July.......
The most important American holiday of the year! Unfortunately Halle and I are on music festival duty. Which involves us sitting on stage, whilst being filmed, in the middle of a children's choir, for four and a half hours. Music to my ears..... Where are those ear plugs? Technically I'm on spew/wee/poo duty, if any of the girls need to partake in any of those activities I'm their go to person.... Delightful. Unlike my dad I won't have a spew bucket ready, just a cup of cement, no that's rude, I will escort them to the bathroom where they can go about their way. Let's face it, without me the show would not go on, it's an essential part of the evenings proceedings.
So back to the 4th of July celebrations that we cannot celebrate on the 4th given that we will not be home until 10pm and probably not in the best spirit for some American style partying aka a BBQ and some s'mores oh yeah that's right. A creation I am proud to be taste testing on Saturday.... The 5th of July aka backyard portable BBQ day, grilled chicken and veg and s'more eating extravaganza. For those of you that have not encountered the s'more, it is two biscuits, inside of which a piece of Hershey's chocolate is placed followed by a toasted marshmallow, the top is closed and you smoosh it into your mouth. Sounds awesome huh?!

Sports day was a great day, Halle and I were in charge of Nelson, the blue team. We did some chanting, played some Simon says, cheered until my voice gave way and got a little bit sunburnt!
The girls all had such a fantastic attitude with no crying about loosing races or complaining about having to run which made the day that much more enjoyable, so did the 3pm finish and no higher duty. Which meant....... SHOPPING.
I hit up commercial road and took advantage of the summer sales & can now safely say I am Europe ready!
With only 15 days to go it's getting even more exciting!!!

Saturday night (tonight) is the sixth form formal which Halle and I have been invited too. We are both excited to get out the heels and glam up a little and socialise with more of the girls that we haven't really been able to really get to know. A few wines and a little bit of dancing may be on the cards!

Next week is my final week before the summer holidays begin.
Junior and senior school awards evenings, celebrations assemblies, a family day,  a night out with the junior school staff and some goodbyes. But it all brings me that little bit closer to what I am sure will be the best 5 weeks of my liiiiiiiiiife.
