High School Musical 3

So this afternoon i took Alex to see HSM 3 and i have to say I really enjoyed it. It is just like Grease (but for kids obviously!) We got there half an hour before the performance was due to start and the queue was already snaking round the foyer!

It focuses on the senior year at East High and so is looking at the decisions they have to make, college, friendships etc with all the trademark singing and dancing. I think there is definately a HSM 4 in the works as they bought in some new characters from the year below including the trademark female bitchy character.

I liked the original HSM but hated HSM 2 so was really not looking forward to this one but I feel this is the best of the lot and left me with a warm fuzzy feeling. I expect Alex will be singing the songs all evening, hell who am I kidding so will I!!!

Been a busy week this week, or at least it seems i have not stopped all week! Monday evening I was invited to an awards evening for the princes trust as someones guest - was to do with work but was still very nice!

During the day i was at a local high school doing some practical health skills with year 10 science students, that was fun and i think they enjoyed it. I had to squeeze into my uniform which is getting a bit tight!!!

Been busy at work as always but better busy than bored I guess.

Tuesday evening we went to Alexs parents evening, she is doing very very well at school far better than Stuart or I realised, very proud of our little girl.

Wednesday Stuart was invited to a Royal Acadamy of dramatic Arts(RADA) event as the guest of some company he deals with he was totally star struck having met Richard Wilson, Alan Rickman (what a legend!) and the new bond girl. Good news though he comes home having won a raffle prize - 2 tickets return travel to paris on eurostar first class!!! wooohooooooo

Then Stuart went on a course Thursday/Friday which left me all lonely, still at least he is back now.

Thursday evening was an open evening at Northgate high School the high school Alex will go to next year so we had to spend a couple of hours up there trying all the activities they had going on. Alex is really looking forward to high school now.

As I write this Alex is at her school disco so yet more running arund for me, athough I think I might send Stuart up the school it's too cold for me :D

Alex has been pestering me all week to book tickets for high school musical 3 because she is convinced they will all sell out, so finally I did! we are going tomorrow at 1530 so watch this space!

more photos

So I have been doing some more scanning and found some photos i forgot existed.
This first picture was taken in about 1993 I think


This one was taken in 1999, the kids used to love dressing up!


I found some photos from our wedding, note where Stuarts eyes are in the last picture some things do not change!

Photos

So I have been scanning all my old photos and look what I found - wasn't samantha a cutie :)

bored

Sooo I'm bored! no-one to play with on EQ, kids are watching TV, stuart has gone to bed early and I feel really fed up and lethargic can't be bothered to do anything.
Guess i will go kick the kids off the TV soon and veg for a while but i have watched so much lately my planner is nearly empty!

I am so bored I have started making a list of things I want father christmas to bring me! How sad is that!

It's Friday!

Yay it's Friday! and the sun has been shining and weather looking good for the weekend.
So You know I do a bit of scrapbooking/memory albums as a hobby, thought i would post a couple of my latest creations.

Cross Country

Alex came 20th out of 120 in the cross country race, she was very pleased and we were very proud. Here she is before the race getting some advice from dad!

Slacking

So nothing written here for a few weeks I am slacking big time.

We went to a wedding on Saturday a friend of mine from work here is a piccie of the 3 of us all scrubbed up and ready to go, as you may notice samantha towers over me!

Been really busy at work and also starting my new Masters in education module, it also looks like I will be doing my tutor subject support for numeracy too in the near future guess i am just going to get busier!

Stuart is studying hard, he has an exam to take on Friday, fingers crossed he passes it.

Alex is representing the school in a cross country competition on Wednesday, proud mum and dad will be there cheering her on. She is determined she is going to win even though we have told her doing her best is what is important, guess it does not hurt to aspire to be the best :D

Sam has informed me today she only has one christmas present she wants this year - guitar hero 3 for the playstation 3, I have to say Stuarts eyes lit up in anticipation, I wonder who it will actually end up being for.
