Soccer, holidays and other!




Does anybody else feel like the school holidays are passing rather slowly? Don't get me wrong, we are having a great time and the girls aren't fighting (much) but it just seems like it's going to be a slow two weeks.

Pictured above is 5 out of 6 members of Isabella's soccer team. Aren't they sooo cute! Isabella is the one next to the goal post.

Soccer is going well, as I predicted Dave is an amazing coach and the kids just love him. He plays games like having them kick or throw the ball at him while he runs around and of course they think that is great! So did he till he got a direct hit to the groin by one of the bigger boys!
Last week's game was not such a good one for Isabella, she ended up off the field and in tears on several occasions. She's quite small compared to the others and is frightened of the contact and getting hurt. I can't believe how crazy a bunch of 5 year olds can get when they're going for that ball!

Yesterday I took the girls out on a 'date'. We got all dressed up, went to mums for lunch and then down to the Berkeley Cinema at Mission Bay to see 'Horton hears a Who'. It was brilliant and I couldn't believe they charged significantly less than Hoyts for tickets and it's a much more pleasant experience.

I've been scrapping but nothing I can show you yet, some of it is going to be in the next Scrapbook Outlet Ezine which comes out on the weekend. They very generously offered to feature Paper Pesto in the mag and so I put together some work using our upcoming May kit (or well a 1/3 of it anyway because that's all that had arrived at the time!). It was a lot of fun as I scrapped some beautiful nature photo's that dad had taken in Phuket, Malaysia and also in France. I never realised he was such a good photographer but he has a real eye for detail.

Okay I think I've kept you long enough! If you are still reading that is =)

Awww, they sure are cute! I need to take some photos of Ethan's team for scrapping. I love the red & white uniforms Isabella's team have :-)

Enjoy the rest of the hols!

I'm afraid the holidays are just whizzing by for us Kate, but I remember when the girls were younger 2 weeks did go very slowly at times.

You'll love the layouts Kate has made using the May kit - they're just beautiful. And she really did have the bare minimum to work with!

What a cute soccer team.

My boys have been away for this first week of the holidays and are due back in a few hours. It has been a nice break but I do miss them and looking forward to having them back again.
