The start of the holidays

So here we are at the beginning of the summer holidays. 6 weeks of trying to entertain 5 children and working on my products. As you can imagine our household is a bit manic, but that's the life i chose and i wouldn't change a thing. I might change the arguments when one of my darling daughters fights with her sister because she said she could borrow that top last week but not this week. Each one of my daughters have completely different personalities so trying to amuse them all at the same time and a baby boy (6 months old) is very interesting. Saturday we decided to go to the cinema which again was an interesting scenario because they all had different ideas of what to go and watch. Eventually we decided on the new shrek (which i admit was a good choice. But that was a one off treat. We spent a fortune on just watching the film (that doesn't include eats). Sunday was a lazy day, we just hung around the house, garden and my older ones, computer. Today is a new week and i am considering setting up the tent in the garden so they can play holidays.
Back to work for now but will speak soon.

Prom

Ok so its been a while and for that i'm sorry. I have had a manic few weeks, first i had quite a few orders to sort out then my eldest daughters Prom to finish. So as you can imagin last week was very hectic. My eldest finally finished school so we completed her prom dress to wear last wednesday then fortunatly because she was in the school band she was able to wear her dress again on the thursday night. It was a very emotional week and my baby is no longer a baby anymore. So here is a picture of her in the prom dress. Its my daughters design (off to college to take fashion) and I made it.Lots of sweat and tears went into making the dress.
Today i had sports day and with the lovely british summer it rained. Today was the juniors turn, monday was the infants. My youngest came 2nd in the egg and spoon race and my older daughter came 2nd in the running race. My other daughter is having her sports day ar high school but us oldies are not allowed to watch. I love sports day but its amazing to see how many mums and dads are soooooo competitive. I am now nursing a headache from all the shouting. Its quite funny to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway enough for now so take care and lots of love
