It was a beautiful sunny day and we got some cute pictures, even if they were just taken with my phone. Got a bit carried away playing with the effects and the timer.

Sunday Morning Photo Shoot
As we are so lucky to go to our ward in the afternoon, we enjoyed a lovely family walk this morning.

Summer School
Here is the Summer School gang.
For the last few weeks we have got together a couple of days a week to have fun, learn new things and do a big project called 'All about me.'
So far we have done family trees, self portraits, time lines (past and future), body measuring, hand painting,poems and lots of games and more.
The kids were divided into their own groups according to age.
We have the Lions. Elijah (3) and JJ (2). Amoung other things,they have played sharing games and learnt to read our names and made lots of mess.
Efenie. Which is made up of their initials, Faith (7), Nathan (6) and Elise (7). As the older group these guys have worked great together, helping each other with work on things like games with times tables and handwriting. They have been great and most of the time have taken on a task and gone off on their own to complete it.Well done guys!!!
And finally the middle group whose name changed everyday-sometimes twice a day. We started with 'the Wolverhampton/Worcester rose and flower Piper and Quesne group'(their own choice of name???) but soon got shortened to 'the noisy girls'. Phoebe (5) and Marissa (4).These cuties have been working extra hard on their phonics and number work and have come on leaps and bounds.
We have had so much fun and the kids have often moaned on the days when there was no summer school. We only have 2 weeks left and then the Pipers are back to school, I think everyone is going to miss our little summer school (especially Susie), but I think everyone will have fond memories and have made even stronger ties to last till next Summer and beyond.
Oh, can't forget this little angel. Alyssa (0).

The Rabbit.
For Elise's 6th birthday, she had a bouncy castle and 'the animal man' come to our house. All the girls from her class were entertained (and scared) by chinchillas, tortoises, snakes, lizards and rabbits.
After the party, one of Elise's best friends, Holly, then purchased one of these cute little bunies, and because of Elise's OBSESSION with animals, a pet rabbit for Christmas seemed like a great idea. And so on Christmas morning Els was very excited to see this cute little bundle.
Mummy had lots of good ideas for a little brown rabbit--toffee, coco, cadburys or fluffy or anything from Harry Potter.
But as it was Christmas, Elise could not be talked out of her choice of the perfect name for a BROWN rabbit....SNOWFLAKE!!!!
This rabbit is a HUGE pain in the backside and has cost us so much more than we ever imagined. But she is a character, and no denying it she can be a clever bunny. The one time she did get lost, she crossed the road and went up the street to the garden where the RSPCA man lived. I guess she could read the sign on his van?? So, much to Daddy's disgust, she was quickly returned to us.
But there are times when this is the most stupid animal on the planet.
Mainly due to her choice in men.

Nathan is 6!!!!!
My biggest boy is now my REALLY BIG boy!!!
Darling Nathan turned 6 in May and yet again, we moved just after his birthday. This poor boy doesn't seem to get the attention he deserves around his special day as it always comes at a time when there are boxes everywhere, packing to do and cleaning galore.
But as we moving an hour away and he was leaving his school too, we made sure he had a great party and took him to Toys R Us and he got everything on his wish list. Luckily, it wasn't a long list :).
Nathan is the most adorable chap ever!!! Always ready with a hug and a gorgeous smile for his Mum. Always ready to help out and make his siblings laugh. Always creating and designing super cool structures.
Nathan is fantastic. And we love him LOADS!!!!!
Ballet show
My beautiful dancing girls!
My graceful snowflake and my lovely sweetheart both did a fantastic job in their ballet show.
I am a proud Mummy!!!
