So what's happening?

Around here things are busy - but what's new in any event? Work is busy, things at home are busy. Its the usual thing. And I guess life will not be that great without all these.

We are nearing the end of both the Netball and Bulletjie Rugby season with one tournament each to go. (and then the hockey starts). We are enjoying the last bits of what was a good season all in all. The boys are both getting a good taste of what it's about and really enjoying it. A has had a good season and all 3 teams are yet to loose a match. She also won a lollipop (awarded by the opposing team to the best player of each half) for her play as Centre this tournament - a new and very busy position for her.She also won one the previous tournament and I am glad for the positive encouragement this small token adds.

 The boys had the exciting opportunity to participate in the annual Loftus Bulletjie day where they (and about 5200 other little boys) got the chance to play at Loftus - the big stadium that is home to the Blue Bulls. It is just the cutest thing you have ever seen and it was an exciting day for all.


So how are things on your side?

  1. Ah, they are so cute. Such a great opportunity for them to have played at Loftus.

    And well done to A - am sure this new position and the 'awards' she has received is motivating her, which is just what she needs.

    And yes, life is busy here too.

    Miss you xx

    1. We actually make a point of encouraging sports - both for the health but also the team participation and charcter development.

  4. How fantastic that L & C got to play together!

    And I LOVE the lollipop tradition you mentioned. What an excellent way for kiddos to appreciate players on the other team! And of course what wonderful encouragement for A!

    All is well here...Friday was Hubby's last day of school, so now it's on to summer break. This is Memorial Day weekend here, so it's pretty low-key. We treated ourselves to ice cream yesterday, and we're grilling out this afternoon. Fun stuff. :)

    Hope you have a great week, Cat!
