House update!

Thought it was about time I put an update on the house up for you all!

As you can see by the pics, we have finally got some rain, on the weekend the Boys were doing the roofing *sigh* If the guy who supplied the roof trusses had done them when he was supposed to it would have all been up by now too. Oh well at least there is progress!








Anyway - back to the things I should be doing, like cleaning the house LOL!

Soccer Fun!!!

Well I have just returned from the Boys first game of soccer. What great fun that is!! I am having a terrible time with Cameron at the moment and really needed some positive time with him - this was just the ticket!



They were so excited about getting their soccer boots and uniforms. All Cam wanted was gold boots - but had to settle for white with gold stripes!

Josh was in goals first and took it so seriously. Before we went he was practicing his crab run up and down as if he was in front of the goals. When they played he stopped three from three and did a massive drop kick down the field after one of them. He surprised everyone (especially me!) with it. I just love in this pic how none of his team mates are watching where he is kicking it :)



The two of them were in the thick of it the whole game. I knew Cam would be, but I though Josh might shy away from head to head confrontations - boy was I wrong! He was in the middle of it all! The grins on their faces the whole time was the best bit - look at them run!!



They Both had chances to throw the ball in and kick a corner. They just had a ball. Cameron also scored a goal!!!!!





In the end it was a draw 3-3. One of the other little Boys isn't so keen on this soccer business (although he was up at the crack of dawn to get ready!) and was in goals. He had so much fun pretending he had no arms he forgot to stop the ball!! SO much fun :) I just love this whole soccer business - can you tell??

A Tale of Two Fish (and a Yabbie named Fred)

Well what a drama!

The Boys went to a garage sale and came home with a fish tank (and a tent and other bits and pieces - but thats another story). Jason has wanted a tank to put Yabbies in for a while now - Cam and Josh desperately want fish.

So Jason puts a yabbie net in the channel and catches Fred, Jason and Cam then go to the pet store and buy two fish. Cam named his Goldy and Josh didn't like the other so I inherited Spotty (who I wanted to call Tiger but wasn't allowed "he is a FISH Mum not a TIGER!"). Josh then went and bought Swimmy.

All seemed OK until Jason went out to the shed this morning to find Fred had had a midnight snack :o Yep - no more Goldy or Swimmy! LOL.

Needless to say the Boys were very unimpressed and "naughty stupid Fred" was soon returned to the channel (mind you Jason had caught 4 more yabbies by now but could not convince the Boys to keep them!).

Well a new Goldy and Swimmy are now making themselves at home and peace has returned to Beelbangera!

Grandparents Day Assembly

In the last week of school Cam and Josh had a Grandparents Day assembly at school. As all of their Grandparents live so far away I didn't ring them (as knowing them they would have driven all this way for one day - before heading home again and it is just too much to ask - I know I know, next time I will!!).

Anyway I managned to get someone to cover my lesson so I could go - but forgot it was Tuesday and the bell times were ten minutes out. So I was late and of course the Boys were up first and I missed them by minutes. I was nearly in tears it was awful :( I was lucky enought o catch the following footage of them at the end of the assembly doing a song with all of K - 2.

Afterwards I had lunch with the Boys:

Joshua

Cameron


All was fine till I said I had to go and Cam ended up a sobbing mess in my lap. I swear I am not going up to the school anymore!!
