There have been lots of problems with the internet over here; various changes to servers and other stuff to technical and tedious to try to tell. So, while it has been almost impossible to get onto Blogger and actually impossible to get to post anything, there has been a bit of a lull. But now I'm back...
So, what's been going on? We've been cramming loads of stuff in to school. The last three or four weeks have been really busy with Sports' Day, parents' evenings, Football Festivals, going to Dubai, reports, rehearsals, curriculum rewrites, exams, courses and all that kind of thing. I suppose it's good in a way that we have a lot to do but it does feel as though there's one thing after another piling up the pressure on us. We might get a bit of a breather after this week as there's not much else in the near future.
The kids haven't been feeling any of it. Today is Hannah's busy day as she has swimming at school and ballet in the afternoon. She's getting a lot more confident in the water and can jump in and bob her head under and everything. Kim's been having swimming lessons for the last few weeks and she sometimes lets Hannah go along with her when she trains. James misses out a bit but he's been kicking his legs a lot as well. I guess we're lucky to be able to go swimming outdoors in February.
Hannah had her sports' day yesterday. We went along in our free lessons to watch her. It was all tricycle riding, space hopper bouncing and egg-and-spooning. She had a good time but it was a bit repetitive and Hannah started showing off to us and didn't always do the events properly. I'll stick some pictures up when I've downloaded them.
We've ordered the school photos of the kids for the family at home. There aren't any individual ones, just the group shots so you'll be able to see James sucking his thumb with the rest of the creche and Hannah looking off to one side as the rest of her class face the camera. It's funny; every class has one kid who looks like they are mentally defective. Thankfully, our kids are not one of them.
