Busy weekend...

No chance for a ride this weekend, Joe had his first ever football tournament on Saturday - and I wanted to be there! 8am start...

His team did really well fought hard for a draw in the first game, won the second and then were unlucky to lose the final 2 games. They came middle of their group, but didn't qualify for the quarter finals. Despite that - thay all really enjoyed themselves! His next tournament on on the 28 June - we'll be driving to Land's End...

Joe went off to a Beaver's camp in the afternoon with Clare and I looked after the girls and cooked a dish to take to Rachel and Kevin's house...

Having been instructed to bath the kids (and one of Amy's class mates - Oliver), I take them to Rachel and Kevin's house, where they promptly go in the garden in the rain and get muddy! Oh well, red wine helps the stress!

Clare arrives later to pick up Oliver and then joins us for our community meal.

After a late night for all, it's up early for mass, and the Joe gets to open the first of his birthday presents (before his football party this afternoon). He loves his new Liverpool kit.

After church, lots of food to be prepared, Clive and Tersa arrive and help keep the kids occupied!

Joe has a great party at the local Boy's High school gym - 20 7 year olds kept under control by the brilliant Andy from Soccer Development with games, matches, penalty shoot-outs, shouting, chanting, etc!

After avoiding a food fight and dishing out party bags, we leave the school, as we leave two large branched from a very large tree come crashing down on our car! Fortunately we were all ok, though the car has several dents and lots of scratches...

A great weekend, looking forward to next week now!
