Play Station Portable

Cale has been saving his money up for ages (pocket money and gifts) and has finally been able to buy a Playstation Portable.

We have to ration his time as he could sit there and play it all day!

He's sitting in his undies wearing Lance's jumper and didn't even notice me taking pics!! Totally oblivious - and when he did notice - he stopped to pose (he's my son after all :)

Birthday Party!

We went to Kidz Paradise for Andres birthday (one of Cale's best friends).

The kidz had heapz of fun running a riot on the play equipment set ups.

Cale and Andres hadn't seen eachother in a few months so they were pretty happy to catch up and moaned and groaned when they had to leave. They're both getting so tall - I wonder how tall they're gonna be? At least 6 ft I think.

Pool

After footy Cale and Garry came back home with me and played footy before he spent the weekend at Garry's house.

Cale is pretty good and pool and actually beats some of Lance's friends - ok, I admit it - he beats me as well :)

He likes playing for money too - he's already a little entrepreneur! I remember one day he came home from school and had sold some of his artwork to another child and was proud of himself that he got $5. I'm trying to teach him that money isn't everything :)

Auskick Season

Yes a new season has started up again! So we're out in the cold wet winter watching Cale's footy.

Cale's such a good athlete and was again chosen to play during quarter and half time during the professional footy games (they choose the best kids to play etc.).

Anyway he loves footy and plays as number 12 (it's what his Dad used to play as). He doesn't like standing around playing defense and tends to run off to where the action is :)

He is very courteous and always obeys the rules - he doesn't end up in pile ups (where the ball gets given to the other team) and just grabs the other player's shirt and holds it (this is what they're taught to do if someone is holding the ball too long?) I'm not so good at the rules - Cale knows them better than I do.

During training Cale was the only one who could kick the ball and hit the target - out of all the children he was the only one who could kick true! The coach was impressed as was I!

At this age the coach always says it was a draw and no team ever wins (however, we kept track and Cale's team got the most goals :)

Anzac Holiday

So great to have a day off during the week! It's like a mini weekend! Anyway, it was a rainy day so we hired a Playstation 2 console and played games and did stuff at home.

So back to school and work tomorrow - but only 2 days till the weekend! Yeay!

Happy Easter to everyone!

A few days before Easter when I was laying in Cale's bed telling him a bedtime story, he said "mum, is the Easter Bunny real?" (in a 'c'mon fess up' type voice) I didn't think I'd be able to get away with this one (he's just too clever now) so I said no it isn't real, but its very nice to pretend that there is a magical Easter Bunny who delivers the eggs isn't it? He agreed and caught on immediately... so when Easter came he played right along and even asked me to let the Easter Bunny know that he could hide the eggs in really difficult places so they are harder to find this time :)

So I hid eggs all over the house in little bunches and it took him ages to find them all... he actually missed a couple places and I'd hidden them so well that I forgot as well... we found them days later. So now we've got lots of chocolate eggs in the fridge :) I ration the chocolate so it'll last for aaaages!

Hope u all had a great Easter holiday!

Bubble Bath

I love bubble baths on a summer day! I make myself a beard and go swimming in the bathtub!

Play time in the grass

I love to play with Teddi in the grass (Mum's note: they are like two little puppies together - Teddi's almost as big as Cale now and he actually weighs more than him already!)
