August Shenanigans


Thea teaching Gabe dance routines from the show she is rehearsing each night when they come home. 


Taking these two on a doll hunt at a car boot sale and then searching out the only patch of shade in the enormous field which just happened to be created by an ice cream van. 


How seriously they take the Operation game.


Dressing up in a fairy costume and bike helmet to watercolour paint the dolls house furniture because... why not?


Sat waiting outside yet another class with a new to us bingo game.


The who's tallest challenge continues.


Making the most of only having a mattress and no furniture to crash into. 


In and out of the storage facility every day. 


The big opening night at the Mayflower theatre Southampton.




My buddy keeping me company late at night.


Just because they are cute.


And so are they. 


Another Pride event.


More cuteness, this is seriously how they wake up every day. 




The many faces of Ayla while we do nails. 


Our special Kit.


The happiness when you thought the slime making stuff was in storage but found it in a random box. 


Best friends.


And one last Pride.













 

July: Performances, Trips & The End of Another Year

 


The second half of July was packed full of rehearsals, shows and adventures, starting with the epic production that is Broadway Showtunes with Thea's Big Little drama company at the Pavilion in Bournemouth.




Gabe went off for a couple of days with friends to a festival called Dantastic and had an amazing time. 



Orion and Lynx both performed in the Influence show by their dance company, and it was truly breathtaking. 



The small two and I went for an adventure to the Oceanarium in Bournemouth to do an attraction review for the children's website I write for called Kidspeak. 






Gabe and I could have sat in that tunnel all day. 






How difficult madam can be to take a photo of!




A very sad and very moving day on Gabe's last every day at forest school. He's been going there for 5 years and it's been the centre of his world. There were so many tears and acknowledgement of an era passing for him and for our family as the big two went before him. 




He is known for his sewing so the staff made him this as a keepsake. 



The biggest and littlest being cute making potions in the garden.


Orion off to perform in a dance competition which they won. 


And no summer would be right without some strawberry picking at our local PYO farm. 






She was so proud of her handwriting for Gabe's birthday card envelope. 


For his birthday, his best friends all gathered in a friends garden for a mini camp festival in honour of Gabe. 








Food, fire and marshmallows, sparklers, cake, giggles and lots of special memories made. 


And a visit from Grandma Julie to end the month before the birthday celebrations could begin in earnest.
