The week that was ....

Life is slowly settling into a semi-routine type of thing - or so I thought. We found out last week LGR has soccer training on Wednesday afternoons and both kids have moved up a level in swim school - so they how have lessons on Thursday afternoon. In the next couple of weeks soccer will begin in earnest on Saturday mornings. So the 'routine' will be broken but then a new one established.

We've had a pretty mellow week - all things considered. The highlight of the weekend was buying LGR his new soccer boots and shin guards. They both look ridiculously small. LGR was far more interested in the soccer balls, cricket bats, exercise bikes and just about anything else he could find in the store.

While on the sporting front I should point out that LGR won his first race at athletics on Friday night. He didn't seem to care that much. I don't think he even noticed ....

Hayzey continues to be a little princess/ballerina. She dances her way around the house/shops/schools/wherever and thinks nothing of it. She has also started giving me 'dance instructions' - a few days back she was teaching me how to sway my hips.

Little Hayz has also started talking in her sleep. Last night she was asking LGR to help her get up onto something and a few times we've been woken up by her mumbling some indiscriminate words.

On the weekend we took the pups for their first public walk. It was up to our local park. The puppies explored large expanses of the park (whilst on a leash) and generally enjoyed the little bit of freedom we gave them. The kids took up a soccer ball and kicked it around for a bit and after about 30 minutes we went back home. And the puppies slept for about 90 minutes :-)
