Summer holidays

We've been having a very relaxed summer holiday so far, with not much travelling about and mainly staying at home and doing home/local type things, like the redecorating of the little girl's bedroom, (which is almost finished), and teaching her to ride her bike without stabilizers. This has been mainly due to the fact that we have had a bout of sickness which has lasted about a week and half in order for those of us who were ill, to recoupereate! But today, we went swimming with some friends and the kids had a great time, and we are planning a few more outings a bit further afield over the next few weeks now that everyone is feeling better!

But since we have been at home a lot, the trampoline and garden have been our haven, but as has drawing! The two eldest spent a morning the other day decorating loads of the garden slate stones with felt tipped pens and they looked great! Just a shame that I didn't take a photo or two!

However, I did manage to take a photo of my eldest's drawings of me and the hubby! And even if I do say so myself, for an 8 year old, they are rather fab!!!

Brilliant aren't they?!!!

I have also been carrying on with the pieces I am working on for 'Sparkle', our church's ladies conference in November, and I have also started a project which I am really chuffed with involving my sewing machine...but I shall tell you more once I have finished it!!! Have also got ideas for something else along the same lines but that too will have to wait a while!

So many ideas and not enough hours in the day!!!!

Hope you are all having a great summer holiday and enjoying the sun!!!
