I hate half-term!
No I don't, it's just a major hassle. The house becomes messier, the laundry triples in amount and I have to spend a lot more time in meal-planning. ("What! You expect lunch too??")
Thankfully, I booked Stefa and Larysa on a week-long drama course, after the two of them have been haranguing me non-stop with: "I wanna be an actress!"and "I want to have my own agent!". This, after meeting a few children who have been in television shows and movies, like Eastenders and Harry Potter. They had a lot of fun, but at the same time realized how much work it is to be rehearsing all day long. The end of the week, they put on their performance of songs and bits from movie musicals. Stefanie was great as Tallulah in Bugsy Malone, (that's the part Jodie Foster played in the movie) and Larysa played prim and proper as Sandy in Grease.
What a great idea to have a real performance at the end of the course, it gives the kids a real sense of achievement.
Adriana chilled out with me for the week, taking Jessie out for her walks, seeing Curious George at the movies, doing the shopping... makin' messes around the house for the most part.
In any case, I'm glad they're back at school this week, I can get back to a routine.
