Absolute Madness!

Just when I thought we couldn't get any busier! Goodness knows what it will be like when the boys are a bit bigger.

Seb is busy six days a week - and yes on the seventh day we let him rest! Two days of Tennis, two of Swimming, then there is Football training in the middle and a Footy game on a Saturday! We certainly like the fact that he is pretty much exhausted at the end of each day. And he even managed to come away with a Runners Up trophy from his first ever Tennis tournament!

Manuel has taken on the role of Football Coach. Although, he wasn't too happy about being given the Australian team. But he managed to get passed it and now dons the good old Green and Gold to run on the pitch with his 11 five and six year old players. I cheer from the sidelines, although there is something a little strange about yelling "GO AUSTRALIA" at a pitch of tiny boys running all over the place. In fact during their first game I couldn't stop laughing!

Seb managed to lose his first tooth after it being wobbly for what felt like months and just two days ago Zach's first one has arrived. Fingers crossed the teething process won't be too bad.

Zach is doing well, hard to believe he is six months old already. We have had him in the pool a few times and he absolutely loves it! Think we have a little water baby on our hands.

The first week of September also bought with it Fathers Day. The boys and I took Manuel out for Brunch with friends then we all finished the day with a game of ten pin bowling! Entertaining just wouldn't quite cover it!

This weekend its off to the ANZA Ball. Still can't get use to the popularity of Balls here, but hey its another excuse to dress up and go out for the night. Not that we have needed any excuses lately, Manuel and I have been going in all directions.

Now we are counting down the days til the end of term. The end of next week will be the start of Idul Fitri and for us that mean off to the beach! So looking forward to it, just hope the rainy season holds off a bit longer.

Sporting Sebastian!

Since turning five a lot of sporting opportunities have become available to Seb. He has been keen to try everything we have suggested and has had a fantastic time experiencing new sports and meeting children from other international schools.



For the past couple of months he has been going to Rugby clinic on a Saturday afternoon. He runs around like a madman, thoroughly enjoys himself and is exhausted and ready for bed by the time we get home. (Every mother's dream!) Last Saturday was the final clinic for season. The Rugby kids provided a little entertainment in the form of modified games in a break in the mens international tournament.



Seb was very excited and loved his new rugby shirt - although definitely a tad on the big side!





Sebastian has also been going to Athletics. One of the international schools has organised a short season designed to introduce the kids to events and skills of track and field. So on Friday afternoons when Seb use to be dragging his heels, he is now jumping all over the place dying to get to athletics. And again by the time we get home its dinner and bed, no arguments, just an exhausted five year old.










Flying down the track, arms pumping, legs flying! Go Seb!
