Finally....

Can you believe it ... last blogged on the 1st !!! Been trying to find some time all week to write something and then when I have the time I can't get into blogger!!! Anyone else having the same problems??? AND now it's only taken me 2 days to write all this !!!!

So ... Just what have I been up too!??

Wednesday I went with Gr7's from Hillcrest Primary School to Hillcrest High School to see their performance of Grease ... We adults loved it but I think the kids needed to see the original to appreciate the songs and the story line ... but Hillcrest High put on a fantastic performance ... well done.

Wednesday afternoon I was a rugby mum again ... HPS 1sts played against Kloof Primary 1sts and we seriously creamed them .... 46-0. Kelsey was over the moon because he actually finally got to play for the 1st team. He's been on the reserve bench for them these past few weeks and what made the game even more special was he was playing against his rugby buddy Jason ... so the two of them had a chance to 'work out' !!! on each other !!!

Hillcrest Primary 1st Team & Kloof Primary 1st Team ...

Hillcrest 1sts 'Dream Team'

After the match ... Kelsey 2nd from right about to shake hands with rugby buddy Jason
Finally playing in that damned shirt !!!
And now he has achieved all his 'goals for 2010' !!!! I am sooo sooo proud of my son.

Thursday and Friday were relatively quiet after the hectic start to the week but the weekend soon made up for the quiet time ... I was at the HCA Winter Fair (which was a lot of fun and lots of networking took place !!! Really talking shite mum says!!! LOL )and Kelsey played rugby again against their 'arch rivals' Gelofte ... sadly I didn't get to see the game (but Aunty Irena came to the rescue and took Kelsey for me ... thank you ) and the 2nds (Kelsey's Team) lost 30-0 BUT 1sts were again victorious ... so it means HPS 1st Team won ALL their games for the 2010 School Rugby season, which is a phenomenal success ... they should all be very proud of themselves ... and I know all the parents & coaches are.

Sunday was Aunty June's Birthday so we spent the day with her, Aunty Irena, Babes, Nishi, Yudesh and baby Sianna ... we had a fantastic day together ...

So now we are on the final week ... only 3 more days of school ... actually 2 full days and 3 hours ... they finish school at 10am on Wednesday, (waste of a clean uniform really LOL)

It doesn't look like there's much educating happening there this this week, yesterday was a 'Soccerthon' which the whole school took part in ... yesterday afternoon the 1sts played a friendly match against HCA ... another whitewash of 60-0 ... and Kelsey got to play in that match too ... so he was really over the moon and sadly that is now it .... those boys will never play rugby together as a team again .... School Rugby Season is officially over !!! Everyone felt a bit down after the match even though they had won .... BUT Kelsey ... we still have club rugby to look forward to and the season runs till September with the first match on the 18th July!!! So we have the school holidays to rest ... keep up the fitness and practise with a new bunch of guys !!! (oooh who would have thought I'd be excited about that ???)

And by the sounds of it they did even less today ... auditioning for their end of year play ... although they haven't decided what they're doing yet !!!! very strange !!!

AND

We've received some fantastically fandabydosy news today ... (well we would have had it last week if I'd gone to the post box!!!) we have received Kelsey's acceptance into Hillcrest High School ... It feels like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders ... what a great way to start the holidays knowing that we are all set and ready for the next chapter in my boys life ...

NOW all that's left is to pack !!! ;-)

OOOH and as I have'nt blogged this week just HAVE to mention the gorgeous weather we've had ... cold chilly mornings (4 layers) by 10am warming up a bit (3 layers) lunch time temps anywhere from 25c - 30c (1 layer and less if possible LOL) by 3pm back to 3 layers and then by early evening 4 layers !!! Sunrise has been around 6.15am and sunset at about 5.10pm !!! Today the wind was soooo warm it was like walking in the dessert ... however I'm told that's a bad sign ... 1. Veld Fire Warnings 2. Could bring rain ...

It can do what the hell it wants after Thursday PMSL!!!
