Hurdles

W had a great weekend at Little Athletics. He got to try high-jump and hurdles, and his two friends, Fraser and Harry were around too. S got some great pics on the day, which I will try and insert here!OK, so there were more, but anyway, that one is cute! That's him doing the hurdles.

All in all, a pretty athletic weekend. I went in a 9km walk, to raise money for breast cancer research. We walked along the river Torrens, the weather was great, and there were a heap of baby duckies and swans- gotta love spring!

In other news, my dad is on the move again. He has just got a new job in Darwin, and will be moving up there in December or January...Looks like young W will soon be climbing Uluru in his school holidays.

He (W) is STILL having tonsil issues. We go on see the specialist on Thursday, and I'd appreciate prayers and good wishes...while it isn't anything too serious, it's still a bit of a stress when your little people are sick.

I am having LOTS of fun getting ready for Christmas. I am thinking about food and decorations and presents and wrapping and songs and....*Breathe!* I think this Christmas will have a really lovely feeling, as we'll have a big family gathering, S's parents and aunt and uncle...It will be a full house, and, aside from thinking about all the cleaning up to do before they come, I can't wait.

A small quote here, which will only mean something to those of us lucky enough to know one Mr L Hutchison;

Me; I'm just writing the address on W, just wait *writes on card and mumbles to self* Unit 304, 6-8 .........Rd

W; That's unit like a place, right mama? Not Unit the person?

at which point I crack up laughing...W only knows Lee as Unit...comedy!

later on (about 30 minutes ago) he comes out with " Look at me, jah jah jah, I'm a big Unit!" - crazy kid.

His other funny story from this week, (I think perhaps again from observing some "adults" in action) was that he was driving 2 cars around, and "talking" for them (pretending the drivers were talking to one another;

Car One; Let's go out together

Car Two; OK

Car One; Aaaaarrrghhhh! Crunch!

Car Two; You dumb dumb! That's what happens when you drink too much beer! You go all crazy and silly!
Car One; *spins in circles and makes random weird noises*

Car Two; You're just a big fat dumb dumb *drives off in disgust*

To quote Mike Moore " I think there's something in that for all of us..." and to quote Jerry "Until next time, take care of yourselves, and each other"
