Dance......

(Not the best photos I am afraid ~ if you click on them you may be able to view them larger??)

Lauren is at the front on the left hand side ~ this was a dance to a song from the musical Cats as part of her tap and modern dance classes.

Lauren is on the front row ~ second from the right. This was her Hip Hop class dance ~ to a song from High school musical 3.

Lauren is on the front row ~ third from the left. This was a character dance as part of her senior ballet class ~ which was actually one of my favourite dances in the whole show!!

AND FINALLY!!!! ~ my gorgeous little ballerina ~ Lauren is at the end on the right!

This dance was to the song from beauty and the beast and really brought tears to my eyes ~ they were all so sweet and so graceful ~ it was lovely to watch. (and best of all for Lauren ~ she gets to keep the tutu!!!!!)

Hello again! I am still here ~still trying to juggle all the different parts of my life and trying to NOT be the worlds worst blogger ever (amd failing at all of these ha ha !!).

We have had more busy days. Last weekend was Laurens dance show and she was a real star in every sense of the word. We had to be at the venue for 9am as I was helping with the stage makeup ~ basically a very long line of girls of all ages waiting patiently for their make up to be done!!

There was then a full rehearsal at 1030 am, followed by the first performance at 2.30pm and the final performance at 6.30 pm. It was gone 9.30pm before we were finally heading home. In true Tabitha fashion I totally forgot my camera so there are no pictures from the show and the rehearsals ~ I did however buy the official photos that were taken of each dance team and I am going to try and scan them in......if they are at the top of this post ~ I was successful at this ~ but if there are no pictures ~ I am just useless ha ha !!

Daniel is now on the countdown for his final week at school (the children break for a 6 week summer holiday next Tuesday) ~ he has been doing lots of fun things and this Friday he has a day full of fun at school ~ they are basically doing lots of activities that have been chosen by the whole class and then in the evening they are going out for a meal and to see the new Harry Potter film. To say that my little lad is excited would be an understatement ~ he is beyond excitement!!!! On Sunday we are going to the Goodwood racetrack, where Dan is taking part in the Green Goblin at Goodwood day. Basically this is an event where lots of schools take part and race motorised cars that they have designed and built ~ we are all going ~ all 4 of us ~ so should be a fun day out! (Hope the weather holds!!).

Things are going great with me and Andy ~ we are happy and I am enjoying every single last moment of having someone in my life who makes me feel so happy and so special. The children have taken to him so well and it is almost like he has been in our lives forever!!!

There is not alot else happening really ~ the only slightly worrying news is that the mother of one of the little girls that I look after has been diagnosed with Swine Flu yesterday ~ She will not be back at my house until they are given the all clear and the children and myself and of course Andy have to wait and see whether we develop any of the symptoms ~ I have been told that until we do ~ there is no other action that can be taken. Please keep your fingers crossed that we are all ok and nothing comes of it!!! I will keep you all updated as to how the situation develops!



I am going to be visiting you all to say hello ~ and try and scan these pictures in ~ yes, you all know how technically challenged I can be!!



Hope you are all well ~ take care and will be back with another update soon! XXX
