I'm Back :-)

Wow I've not written in ages. I fact the last time I wrote the children were just going back to school after the half term and we are now in the first week of the summer holidays!
We have had a rather hectic time over the last few weeks and I got out of the habit of writing about it and just sinking into bed quite tired.
A few weeks ago Amy (Ben's) sister and Neil got married YEAH xx It was a fantastic celebration and all went really well. The weather, which had been atrocious the week before behaved itself on the the day (with a couple of showers). The day was very 'country living' hehe at Cowslip, my most favourite place to relax in Launceston. Jo the owner made the barn look amazing. She put patchwork quilts hanging from the walls, bunting and mix/matched tablecloths all made the place look lovely. Lots of wild flowers smelling fabulous. My very beautiful children :-) were bridesmaids and ring bearers and looked so qute. They had a wonderful day as well. We ate, drank and danced so much. It was really nice to meet Neil's family and all get together.
Ben and I also that week went up to Cardiff, with Andi, Tanya, Kate, Penny, Dan and Lucy to see Take That - Amazingly fantastic. Tanya bless her was very very excited hehe. We stayed in a youth hostel which was really nice with very cheep beer - needless to say we stayed and drank quite a lot.
We have been baking cakes and attended the School fete which raised an amazing amount of money this year. They even had pony rides, which Tamsyn thought was fantastic.
The schools have now finished and the children all had there end of year school reports!!!!!! They were all really good...........much better than mine ever were........ I was really pleased with them all. Emily is now in year 8, Sam in the last year of primary school and Tamsyn is moving up to the next class with a new teacher. Lots of changes for them all - and this is why I'm very grateful for the summer holidays - time to recharge and rest before everything is all new again and the chaos continues :-)
I'm going to try my best to write about what we get up to in the holidays so we can look back and realise why we are all so tired. I've only had one day off this week so far. On Tuesday I decided to help Mum clear the hedges along side the path to her house!! The children and I spent all day down there and my arms and legs are so scratched ouch!! I'm trying to keep fit this holidays and loose a little bit of weight so I figured it was helping me as well. It was so hot 26 indoors so working outside was quite hard work. I can hardly move my legs today (2 days later) and my arms arn't looking good either. Mum had the children today and is taking them to the beach. Tomorrow I think we might go swimming at Bude................... I'm so pleased it's the holidays.
