Summer Holidays...

We are now into the fourth week of the school summer holidays! I can't believe it, they seem to be going so quickly. The fantastic weather has definitely helped, I think. Apart from today's stormy weather it has been warm and sunny most days. We have been filling the days with the following...

Playing and having picnics in the garden...
Visiting the beach several times with various friends...
Eating ice lollies to cool down...
Miss M has been making pebble people...
And having fun entering competitions...
Making cornflake cakes together for a play date today...
 

Lots of simple but fun activities going on! After working at the weekend, I am now on annual leave for over two weeks! So I am looking forward to some more relaxing and fun times with family and friends and also some crafting of course! I have lots of little (stash busting!) projects on the go...

Thank you for the sweet comments about my little egg cosies, they are very much appreciated. Have a fantastic week...

  3. We're in our tenth week and it's feeling less like it's flying by lately, ha. But we're still enjoying ourselves. It looks like you're doing a lot of fun things and staying busy! I'm impressed with your daughter's penmanship, it's beautiful! I wish my son's looked like that, then I could trust a letter addressed by him to actually make it there. :)

  5. It is the last day of school for my little people and they are absolutely worn out. I think I will try and get some crafting in this week before full on children based days out kick in. Jo x

  6. Looks as if you have started your days away from work on the right foot. Lovely pics for sure. Love the pebble people your daughter has made, very creative! and those ice lollies look really delicious....(never seen those before). Our summer break is almost over, school starts in less than a month and I haven't even started my daughters school shopping yet.
    Hugs,
    Shari

  10. Hi Ladybird not finished yet but had a day off today so that was great. Love the colours in your posting today so fresh and colourful, make me really feel invigorated - something I need badly at the moment. Thanks for really cheering me up Ladybird, you are a real tonic.
    Lots of love

  19. Those ice lollies look so gorgeous and the picnik!! I wish we could do things like that in Texas but this time of year it's just too hot, we have heat advisories and things like that... It looks like you know how to do summer properly!!

  24. You are already four weeks in? Mine started today so just starting the fun and games. I always find that the simple things go down much better than the grand gestures. I can't wait to do what you have been doing and just enjoying the time together in these precious weeks. Have a wonderful fortnight. xx
