It all started after school on Friday with Summer and Tiger coming over for a party tea with Maria ahead of her 13th birthday on Saturday. With the social distancing measures in place we had organised four different parties for Maria and here we are on Sunday afternoon having survived them all and Maria having had a lovely weekend.
As well as two groups of school friends visiting, we had dancers from Studio One and family over which meant Alison was incredibly busy getting the party food ready for them all and in ensuring they were suitably entertained, something made easier by the growing maturity amongst the girls who were all lovely.
I was very impressed with Maria still managing to get her homework done on Sunday morning, two lots of English, times table rock challenge, Hegarty maths and art, which she did whilst Evie was writing up her research into the Great Fire of London. The children all had some quiet time for reading and Evie and Joseph enjoyed reading about some modern art which they started making notes about.
Evie and I had already been out for a litter pick too and collected plenty of fag packets and Red Bull cans. Meanwhile poor Alison was still cooking, this time a Sunday dinner for all of us before taking Maria to her exam class for the forthcoming grade exam in Jazz.
Time for winding down and relaxing ready for the final week before half term when Maria will be at dance as usual but also from 9.30 - 3.00 each day for Summer School. Bring it on!
