Summer Holidays Begin

We are in week two of the 12 week long summer break. The last week of school was crazy busy and I needed that first week of holidays just chill out with the kids and slow down to the normal sped of life.

In the last week Lulu had her “Letterland Party” and she chose to go dressed as “L”.

This is the original Lucy Lamp Lady.

I was not sure how to replicate the dress so instead I played around with the colour and letters and came up with this …

The children in her class came dressed as different letters, it was very cute.

She also had a splash day but I did not take any pictures of that but be assured they had a blast.

Sami had many parties at school and also a few birthday parties out of school that week. Here he is with his “girlfriend” Aspa.

Well if you ask Sami he says he does not like any girls but Aspa tells her Mummy that Sami is her boyfriend so it kind of sticks Winking smile. Sadly Aspa and her sister Iffragina in Lulu’s class are returning to Greece, that is the downside of being part of an international school in an expat community there are always people leaving.

Laith had a “Camp Learn A Lot” theme for his last week. This is us at his Parent Share morning.

I also went in and did a craft with the kids as part of the camp activities. We did some weaving to make a bracelet or bookmark.

The kids really got into it and it was great to see their creativity.

By Wednesday we were all exhausted. We ended the school year with a trip to the cinema to see Kung Fu Panda 2 but Laith did not come as he was feeling very poorly. It was the start of “pass the lurgie” in our family. To date we have all been sick and some of us remain so.

The big question is … what do you do with the 3 active kids over a 12 week period in the dead heat of the summer (currently 49 C outside), ummmm …. pray! Winking smile

Thanks for stopping by …
