No Paint Saturday

Saturday was too busy to fit in any painting.

Firstly soccer took up the morning. Overnight rain left the fields fairly soggy and muddy. Ella's game was quite hilarious with the girls reaction to the muddy conditions. At one point the ball stopped dead in the middle of a muddy patch. The girls from both teams halted on the edge of the mud contemplating what to do. Eventually someone plucked up the courage to gingerly kick the ball out!! Ella managed to stay fairly clean although at one point she fell over hands outstretched into some mud. She quickly stood up, then completely forgetting about the game she took her time to inspect the mud that was now on her thermal and hands!! It was a great even match this week with some wonderful plays and teamwork from the Blossoms.

Meanwhile at Peewees, the numbers seems to be dwindling especially with the girls. This provides an increased anxiety for Katy (and whoever is with her) in finding a team. Most of the time she ends up in tears but recovers enough to join in and by the end is really happy!

The afternoon saw Andy, Nana and Ella head off to the AFL match at Manuka. They survived the cold conditions and even had fun watching Geelong (Nana's team) walk over GWS.

While they were at the footy, Katy and I attended Sofia's (our next door neighbour) birthday party which was held at the local indoor swimming centre. Katy enjoyed the water slide and splashing around with the gang of 6 year olds!

We finished our busy day at Cathy's house having dinner cooked for us!
