Crazy Days

It's been a hectic few weeks in the Reeves Household, as we have joined the Tucker Family in their madness!! 

Jennie has a dance school with children from the age of 3 going up to a Wonderful grand old age, and every two years she stages a show. With over 400 people taking part. There are 4 shows as some of the littlies can only be in one matinee show. 

Last show Mark photographed the classes in the run up to the show and most of the show on his own, as Milo was pretty tiny for me to be involved. This year however we have done it all together. 

Unfortunately the kids have been passed a bit from pilar to post. And I start to get chronic mum guilt. My rational brain says it doesn't happen very often. I am pretty much with my boys 99% of the time. However I have enjoyed the challenge. Along with a healthy dose of guilt and a rotten cold thrown in!!! 

I have helped with the scenery, which is probably more my bag, but I am pretty slow and Barnsie (jennie's hubby) is like a speed demon compared. I like to think I helped out a bit though. ( if you hear otherwise don't tell me!! Hahaha) 

We (hopefully) managed to get a portrait of all the dancers. Here is one of Scarlett, who unbeknown to us all has been poorly and still managed a smile xx

As you can imaging the little ones are just so easy to photograph as they are all so cute.

The show didn't come with out its drama though as Mark had a massive hypo, I have not seen him have one that bad for a very long time. It's pretty scary as he seemed to be ok to amazingly drunk like

In about 2 minutes. If anyone else has a type 1 diabetic husband you probably know what it is like!! It normally comes with a torrent of verbal abuse aimed in your direction!! I have learnt to be thick skinned about it, or maybe he is just trying to tell me something and I am too dense to realise?? :-) 

We just have the huge job of processing all the pictures and retouching them all. 

It is a very time consuming process and  can be quite frustrating when people just want to have the pictures without paying. 

I know as am parent how there is always one thing after the other to pay for, but it also drives me potty when you put in all the effort and people Iove them, and can't find £4 for our time and effort to buy the bloody picture! 

Anyway rant over, it's almost the easter holidays and I am looking forward to spending some time with my boys, hopefully a bit of camping, some swimming and a lot of chocolate eating are in order!!!

Here is a portrait of me done by my gorgeous Rufus, I think he has me down to a tee!!
