Half term fun

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted, I've been enjoying the half term break. Unfortunately I can't say I've got enough revision done as I probably should have, but I've been enjoying the break. I've got so much to tell and say.

Firstly, unfortunately I have no scrapbook pages to show, the page I did hope to do never got made, but I'll get round to it at some point. Lots of photos to show though as I have been concentrating on my photography as it is easier to do quickly unlike scrapbooking.

So what have I been up to. Well mainly enjoying the lovely weather we've had (I say as it is now thundering, lightning and chucking rain at the windows!!), I hope you have been too. In the holidays we tend to spend a large amount of time at my Nan and Grandad's house as James loves to see them and their garden is lovely in the sun. I've spent the second half of the week living in my shorts, trying to get my legs a little nicer than pure white!! Some sunny garden pics:

I did manage however to go out and get my prom dress. I am planning to do a mini book all about my school prom so we snapped as many photos of the shopping trip as we could. It was great to go out just me and mum for some girly shopping. I tried on over 10 different dresses, finally finding the one after at least 3 hours shopping. I love the one we decided on, luckily it was both mum's favourite and mine so it was a dead winner. It's so comfy and elegant, just the style I was looking for, and even though the price was more than we had planned, we both felt it was a very successful shopping trip. Here it is, I hope you like it, it's not the best photo.
Today we have all been to a Summer Fun Day set up especially for children with disabilities and their families. At first we had slight doubts, but we all loved it and were so glad we went. James loved it and so did I. Even though it wasn't set up by a club who commonly (in fact they may have never) deal with those sort of children, they were so friendly and understanding. The activities were aimed specifically at the children's style, with simple games, and not too many things to do. James' favourite (well actually there were many), the stocks. Putting dad in the stocks and throwing wet sponges at him was so great, James was laughing so much and it was a great photo opportunity.
Then when it came to James' turn I had great delight in lobbing sponges at him. I have an awful aim but a lucky handful got him, much to his amusement.

I love taking photos in macro, especially of flowers and their intricate centres. This is a photo I took today of one of my nans amazing poppies.

I have exams again this week, Maths and English. I am confident about these subjects but shall be busy revising for Geography and Citizenship the following week. I have 12 days, 7 exams, left and then it's my summer holidays!! :D

Thanks for looking at my blog, I'll write again when I can. :)
