ROYCE RUNS WELL

This year in sport Royce is 8 but he has to compete against 8yrs and 9 year old boys, so he has a disadvantage this year but an advantage next year apparently it is only in public schools and only happens in this age bracket. Anyhow to compete at PSSA you need to come a place at your local school carnival, Royce came in third after 2 nine year olds so he was the first 8 year old boy home and this qualified him for PSSA. On Tuesday we took Royce over to Harden to run in his PSSA Cross Country, Royce had to run 2km and there were 80 children in his race, there were only a hand ful of 8 year old boys that made it to this level, Royce ran extremely well and cam in 35th place and was the first Gundagai boy home, his friend Sam from South School who is 9 also from Gundagai came 50th they both ran very well and we were very proud of their efforts - WELL DONE BOYS!!!!

Look out next Year :0)

GO THE BLUES !!!!!

Yeah go the Mighty Blues - yes just finished watching the State of Origin not sure who was yelling louder me or Royce. He was so excited he had on his NSW Jumper Johns 7 on the back of course. And well he did not dissapoint. What a great role model for young boys to have.

Our Longweekend

Well we have had great longweekend - On Saturday afternoon we went over to Canberra to watch the Canberra Raiders take on the mighty Brisbane Bronco's. Chels is a raiders supporter and Royce was barracking for the Bronco's it was a great game BUT very wet thanks goodness we were under cover. We stayed at my mum's who has been renovating her house (LOOKS FAB!!! Mum and Jo). Sunday morning we went to get some firecrackers and then went out to Gold Creek. It such a fabulous spot out there lots of shops - even a scrapbooking shop and a Quilting shop were I bought some gorgeous fabrics for a little project I am working on. Then Sunday night we had the Hay family out to light some fireworks the kids had a great time running around outside - our fun lasted till midnight and the kids slept in till around 10.00 this morning (YEAH)!!!!!

Elf Potion

Today I spent the morning with Royce at School helping out as reading mum. I love to go in and see what all the kids are up to. The children have been learning to write procedures and today's was on how to make Elf Potion. The children had to bring the ingredients in from home and I can tell you not one of the Potions was the same.

Royce's ingredients were as follows:

Nutra Grain,Coconut,Vegemite,100's and 1000's,herbs and spices, garden mulch,tomato sauce, washing powder, elf juice and elf dust

Sounds nice I know - but they had fun!!! and I had fun helping.

Off to Wagga tomorrow with my sister - should be catching up on house work but it will keep :0).

computer troubles

Well besides not having the the time this week to be on my computer I am still having major troubles with Telstra, I am now resigned to the fact I am unable to get Broadband anymore and will have to stay with dial up - I am so annoyed with Telstra.

This week has been quite busy with Ballet and School reading, I had Scrap classes on Thursday night and then on Friday my nan and I went to Canberra for the day. My mum, Nan and myself had a great day looking around. I was able to check out some of the scrapbooking stores.

Saturday was sport day, Royce played football against Cootamundra they were beaten 3 tries to one and I went to Tumut to play Adelong in hockey we had a 2 all draw. Chelsea did not play today has she still as Asthma.

Today David had a few of his friends out to watch the Kosta vs Hatton fight a 9.00am start ended in a 7.00pm finish - and I was unable to get anything done around the house, hence no scrapping either.

This week looks to be a little quiter besides the after school routines with dance & sport I am hoping not to have too much on.
