Football madness

Our local club put prizegiving on Sunday morning, which meant that Chris and I couldn't go, being a working day for us. Being the meanist parents in the world, we said the kids couldn't go either, which Hannah was OK about as she had other friends coming to church, and Zach was a bit cross about.
So, after church, Chris grabs Hannah and goes looking for Zach - who can't be found. He leaves. I find Zach - in the toilet, and drop him off as well. Fortunately, the venue is not far from where we live.
The kids and Chris come home with grins from ear to ear. Hannah has a certificate for Most Improved Player, and Zach has a trophy, "Player of the Year" for Grade 12. It's a new trophy, his is the first name on it. Zach is playing up a grade. As Katarina said yesterday, if his team plays Grade 12 next year, he could win it again! So, for a family that couldn't make the prizegiving, we certainly made an impact this year!!!
The deal this week is getting ready for Nelson, naming clothes, sorting gear, and getting the girls far enough ahead in their study that they can take a week off!!!
