Our weekend...

Our weekend began with Adam taking James and his friend to the local skate park with their scooters. Adam stayed to supervise as they are not old enough to be left alone. I'm sure it won't be long though before having dad there will be an issue. James then visited his friend's house for the morning while Adam drove Patrick to his basketball game where he put in a great effort, with a near miss on shooting a goal. Meanwhile, Sophie enjoyed her ballet class before we attended an open day at Tintern. We spent some time with the prep teacher in the prep classroom and were pleased with what we saw and heard. Sophie still loves her pre-prep program at the ELC.

On Sunday, James played football against Glen Waverley and his team played well. They had to "borrow" three played from the opposing team as recently a few team members have left the club. The highlight of the game was James kicking his first goal for the season! It was wonderful to see him so pleased with himself.

Sunday afternoon was spent at Kassian's "Operation Birthday" at a park in the Bayside area. This was a unique experience for the children where they were divided into teams with leaders and instructed to complete "special agent training". The boys loved it and got into the spirit by applying way too much camouflage paint (which I knew was difficult to remove from previous experience with James). The party continued until dark and they all had fun running around playing "capture the flag". It was then a challenge for the parents to find their children in the dark with dark clothing and cam paint on!
