As the summer holidays fast approach there is a palpable level of excitement rising in our house. This is the busiest time of the year for my dh so he is not so much excited as on high alert but the kids and I are on countdown. We have 13 days left at school as I write this and on the one hand it just feels too long, but on the other I need that time to complete my long to-do list and to be able to free myself up for six weeks of fun and laughter.
Last week JJ had his three transition days for secondary school
and he loved it, him and his friend were convinced they could not go back to
primary school for the last couple of weeks as they were 'just too big now!' However, we have a few key events left at school before they leave: last
parents evening, last report, the school performance of the Wizard of Oz and the sure-to-be sad
leavers assembly.
