The week that was

What a fantastic weekend! Saturday we had soccer in Palmerston North, they lost 1 nil, but the other team only scored in the last 2-3 minutes, so it very nearly went into overtime. Our kids did so well! Then we cruised off to town to get Jade some new gumboots, she has a birthday party to go to next weekend at her friends place, and she lives on a farm, so gumboots were required. Lucky we picked nice trendy ones, zebra stripe to them, they look very funny. Another bargin scored by me they were only $5 each instead of 20, so of course i brought another pair for next year - leopard!

Sunday we did the normal housework, and recyling, then we went to base, and Jade rode her new bike around the triangle a few times with either Ralf or I running along beside her. She is going really well now. So we are considering sorting out another bike and the bike rack thing and going all together into town to go on some of the tracks there are around the place. Ralf also was painting the pole and backboard, he is getting ready to put up a basketball hoop for Jade. I think he is almost ready, apart from digging the hole etc.

This week nothing exciting planned, just the usual soccer practice, brownies, soccer etc. Jade's school is doing a production in a couple of weeks time, Ralf's parents are coming up to see it, so Jade will enjoy that. She is very proud when they come to watch her.

I have entered a compition at scrapbook essentials, a bit nervous about it as I have never entered a compition. They had a warm up challenge for the last week, and have to say I was a little stressed about it, as it did not feel as though it was just for me, it was for everyone to see. Hope I did okay. It starts for real on Wednesday for the next 7 weeks!!!! I will be very stressed by the end of it all!!

Anyway better get away for a zzzzzzz.
