Last Day of the Spring Term!!!

It is the last day of the spring term for the kids.  Definitely not the way they or I thought they would be spending today.  This week has been a bit different than last week.  Drew was not feeling well at all, so he didn't do much work.  Alison was a really hard worker on Monday and Tuesday.  Wednesday a bit less and yesterday she coloured a really beautiful beach scene picture and did gymnastics.  We shall see what today brings.  Lauren has gotten up around noon for the past 3 days.  Tuesday she decided to sleep in because she has PE for the first 2 periods, fair enough.  She does mostly carry on with her work and get all her assigned work completed, so I can't complain too much.  She will have to get up earlier today as she has her guitar lesson at 11:30!!!

I have realised over the past two weeks that Brad works really hard, and he has a good relationship with his direct reports.  And he drinks a lot of coffee!  Between the two of us, we have been drinking a bag of coffee every 3-4 days.  Thankfully, there hasn't been an issue with finding coffee.  And we have made a couple of trips to the local grocery store to buy beer....only the essentials!!

The kids and I have really enjoyed watching "Malory Towers" on the BBC, which is a TV series based on the books by Enid Blyton (a famous British author who I have never read), but it has been deemed the "Downton Abbey for kids."  The cast is spot on, and the stories are relatable to today, even though it is set in the 40s.  It's interesting to hear the girls mentioning rations and wearing straw hats as part of their school uniform and wearing skirts and white button down shirts to play sport.
