The Land of Oz

First of all I have to start off by saying what a proud mummy I am :D I have a wonderfully talented daughter (and of course I'm biased lol). I was so proud of Raechel and I don't think it'll be the last time either, she was fantastic!! The play went really well, and the kids put a lot of hard work into their performance. Only noticed one or two little slips, but what would a school play be without those lol! I honestly had a lump in my throat when Raechel appeared on the stage for the first time, and my heart was in my mouth, because I knew how nervous she was, but she came through like a professional :D My only disappointment, if you can call it that, was that she didn't get to sing Somewhere over the rainbow as a solo, the whole cast sang it, which was a pity because she does it so beautifully, but never mind, it was still superb. Things will be quiet around here for a while, with her not practicing every 5 minutes lol. But I'm sure there will be another play to try out for soon!!

Happy New Year

Okay, so it's a bit late lol, but the beginning of january is always a busy time. Had all the cleaning to do, kids to get ready for going back to school, and taking down all the decorations etc. So finally we are getting back to normal, well as normal as we get lol.

We're just chugging along the same as usual. Nothing really exciting happening, apart from Raechels school play in a weeks time. She is getting VERY nervous about that! We were hoping to go up to Scotland for my grans birthday party, but unfortunately it falls the weekend before Raechels performance, and she has to rehearse at the school that weekend. So we're very disappointed, but it can't be helped :( Hayley has settled back into school okay, just problems with her teacher being off sick again, that's 2 years in a row she hasn't had the same teacher all the way through. Not a good situation for her, or the other kids.

We also have another member of the family! A little dwarf hamster called Coisty (well, he had to fit in with the others lol). He came from a friend of Raechels, who got 3 of them, being told they would live happily together. Oh no they didn't!! So he's come to us, where the 3 cats sit waiting for a tasty looking snack to appear. Very funny to see them sitting staring at the cage.

Nothing much else to report for the time being. But I'll pop back on after Raechels play to let you know how it went. Take care xx
