Freya's 5th Birthday Disco
Ethan’s bestest girl Freya turns 5 tomorrow and we all had a wicked time at
her Disco party. Ethan swore black and blue that he wasn’t going to dance,
but he shook his little booty for two hours straight!
Spring showers
After a night of heavy rain, and on-and-off showers this morning there was a break in the weather. Ethan and I quickly weeded the front garden and dug it over as well as the vege patch. Everything looked so rich, green and browns, that I …
Ethan’s first sports registration!
Tonight we signed Ethan up for his first season with our local Athletics club! It was very exciting, of course Ethan was beaming ear to ear when he laid eyes on the 400m track he could run around, but it was exciting for us as well. He had run a great 400m with his mate Isaac before I had even made it to the registration line! Aside from the obvious health benefits and the introduction to competition, there was such a great community buzz at the registration. There were hundreds of kids and their parents there, and it was so nice to see people we knew and would get to know better throughout the season. He tried his hand at long jump and sprints tonight even though it was just registration; the first club night is next week and he can’t wait!

It is always worth it to complain…….nicely
I was one chapter deep in the first phase of ‘my week of study’ this morning when I hit the wall. I was scavenging in the kitchen looking for something sweet when I remembered that there were Magnum ice creams in the freezer!! Joy of joys, I would be able to plod through some more theory on the design and implementation of accounting information systems. The reason behind the miracle of ice cream in OUR house was the unfortunate incident of the dodgy cone.
A couple of weeks ago, Dave was dispatched on a late night ice cream run to the Mobil, imagine his disappointment when he sat down to enjoy his ice cream and his cone was soft! Not one to make a fuss, Dave normally would have soldiered on but something made him take a stand. He searched out the manufacturers email and fired off a Customer Complaint. Two weeks later we had a coupon for $10 worth of streets ice cream!! Thanks Dave, I might even save you one xxxx.
Boys and Cupcakes
I guess if you have a little girl you get to decorate your weekend baking in pretty colours, but Ethan likes his cupcakes slime green!
