Wet wet wet

Thats about all I can say about the weather. Or though I have to admit that we are lucky. I've seen the news and everywhere north of here is getting a real hammering. I'm hoping you are all safe and well, tucked up and keeping warm and safe.
Rugby last weekend was canceled for the under 7's as it was cold and wet. Olly was in tears for ages, saying it wasn't too cold and wet for him, he could handle it. Then Jake had his game so he had to suffer through watching that and not being able to play grrr. Well Jake played extremely well, scored a try and made quite a number of breaks. Such an improvement that it wasn't funny. This weekend we have a 7 aside tournament in Millars flat with both the under 7's and under 9's playing so we get both kids at the same venue. Yayyyyyy. Family and friends from Central are also playing there so that it will be a great catch up. Mum and Dad are catching a ride down with some so they can get to see the boys play, especially since it is their last game for the season :).

After thier tournament we have the final of the country wide rugby here in Lawrence and all the Lawrence players in the under 7's tournament are to be the guard of honnor as the teams run on. Sam - the lawrence captain and our neighbour called in tonight and Olly was telling him. So the boys have to give him high five as he walks on. Because Sam has played for Taranaki and Otago and knows alot of "famous" rugby players, Olly just thinks he is God, so everything that Sam says and does is just to worship. It is quite funny, if Sam has a friend staying Olly will be all quiet and when we are away from him he'll ask "was he a famous rugby player Mum." So for Olly this is a really big thing.
Now here is some photos of Abbys room- sorry they aren't very good but it gives you an idea. The shelves with the cane baskets in are Abbys favourite as she can fit everything on and see it all. Above it you can see the butterfly wall hanging that was pictured in a previous post. This is her bed and new curtains. I couldn't get kids ones big enough so I have brought some insulated ones (on special at the red shed) and have the pink fringy one over top. Must admit it is kind of cool. None of it is what I picured but it does all look good :)

Here is a layout I did for Magistical memories. It was based on a sketch that they had up. The photo was taken about 18 months ago after she'd been playing in the mud. Don't ya love it :) (Hope you read this Tanya :) )This is a closer up of the flowers and the ferns.And the chipboard that I have altered :)
Well that is all for now. Hope you all have dry feet and full tummies. Till next time.

I am over the rain as well. Can understand poor Olly being all upset with not playing. Its just not fair!

Love the pink bedroom - very girlie and then to see her in the mud on the layout, what a complete contrast.

Congrats to you too! Nudge nudge wink wink.
