My Digi Life

Well, here are my LOs using another fabby kit from Bits N Bobs! It's called Sailboats and is available at Exquisite Scraps - http://exquisitescraps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_150&products_id=2042. It has gorgeous elements in it, and lovely colours, all of which makes it easy to produce Los on any theme! Funny enough, despite the title of the kit, I didn't use any seaside photos, lol! There's loads more in the kit to use yet as well!

Family News: It has been so hot and humid here today, I think it took its toll on poor Evie! She fell asleep on the sofa at 5pm for an hour and a half this evening, managed to then wake up and eat a little and have a drink, then watched 'Finding Nemo' in a bit of a zombie state, lol, before going to bed at 8.45pm! Mind you Andy & I feel much the same - my eyes are blurring over as I type, and Andy's snoozing on the sofa with the lappy staring at him!!

Evie got her school report today. Everyone is really pleased with her; she's working slightly above the national average in most subjects (which is amazing considering the start her class had to Year 2 - her teacher went off sick, then long-term sick, and finally resigned; there were a string of supply teachers for the first term; the 2nd and 3rd term they had the same supply teacher but it was her first posting so she was a bit wet around the ears and I think found handling some of the more naughty little boys hard work! Finally a new permanent teacher started - who attends out Church as it happens and has connections with the school from a few years back - and she is FANTASTIC! I really can't fault her on anything! (And I can be quite picky!!). She's good with the parents, good with the kids, really cares, and the kids - esp. Evie! - LOVE her!!); and her confidence has improved in leaps and bounds, going from needing to put her hand up more in class and participate in more class discussions last year, to 'Evie can be relied upon to fully particpate in class discussions'!! Only today she got a merit for being the only person to come up with the answer to the question 'what should you do if you make a mistake?'...she said make a new start! Her kindness to others and awareness of the needs of others has been noticed, as has her willingness to help out in any way she can - the class teacher said she often gives her responsibilities because of this, and wanted to take the opportunity to thank Evie for all her help!! So more proud parent moments for Andy and me!!

Antoinette is going to London next week to visit a Sikh temple, which we think is a fantastic opportunity - not many of those in Margate! Not any in fact! However, there are only 4 girls from her class going! Comments from the girls has ranged from 'we don't have any religion' (great reason for not going - NOT!) to 'it's a rough area of London'!! Just hoping there are more takers from the other classes in her year group, as we'd hate the trip to be cancelled for lack of numbers!

Now I'm going to go to bed I think!
