School shows

The theme was Down on the Farm. Here's out little chicken!

Max was a bit unsure.

A box of Smarties and Bastie was stoked.

Mrs Singleton, Zach's brilliant teacher.

Daisy, top center.

That's a lot of kids.

Post concert.

Yay for Daisy!

Daisy and Zach both put on excellent school shows this year. Daisy's year group (all 220 of them) serenaded us with some excellent songs and Zach's year group put on some great singing and dancing. Zach's class also did a lovely end of year presentation which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to watch but Daisy won 1st place with her hip hop dance routine to Pitbull's Can't Stop the Party in her end of year Repton's Got Talent contest. What a star!

Break a leg (or a foot).

Newly minted.

Zach was pretty pleased with being wheel chaired to the car.

Matching crocs with cast, top work.

Three weeks later and off it comes. 

The face of braveness.

We had out first broken bone in early May, courtesy of Zach falling awkwardly leaving school one day. He broke his 5th metatarsal in his foot and had to have a cast although luckily for only 3 weeks. I showed some excellent mothering by making him hobble around on it for two days before taking him to the doctor. Gulp. It didn't slow him down at all although we insisted he only kick a light football while the cast was on.

Concerts!

Daisy's most excellent pre concert picture.

On stage action.

The huge big screen was a bit confusing, Bieber x 2. The real one is bottom.

Sheikh it!

Bright eyed despite the late hour.

Max woke up a few songs before the end.

Jump up! Get down! The Imagination Movers.

The kids enjoy the action.

Zach is a top joiner iner.

Snoozing again!

At the start of May Max got his first live concert experience when we took all the kids to see Justin Bieber. Bieber up to his reputation and caused no end of headaches for Andy's work but the kids had a great time. It was a VERY late night, he didn't come on until 10.20pm but we were prepared and the kids had all had afternoon sleeps. Max snoozed by the bar with Andy and the rest of us had a great view from a grandstand. Zach nearly exploded with excitement when he came on, Daisy played it cool and Sebastian was a bit overwhelmed with it all. He put on a good show and despite it not being my ideal choice for a night out, it was great to finally be out in the evening and have a dance.

At the end of June we had a great time seeing the Imagination Movers live in concert. I didn't really know what to expect but they were fantastic, loads of energy and a lot of fun. We were very lucky to have front row seats so we all (even Max!) got lots of high fives from them as they spent a lot of time in the crowd. They sung lots of current songs which was great. Zach was again our little raver and even got to shout in to the microphone, go Zach.
