day TWO HUNDRED and THIRTEEN | year THREE… 2012

I was already in bed when I remembered that I hadn't taken todays photo… up I got, grabbed my camera and began stalking… I heard a noise from the girls bathroom and hid around the corner like the paparrazi… Zoe spotted me and tried to hide, but it was too late… resistance was futile! Bwahahahahaha!

♫ Cheer, cheer, the red and the white… Honour the name by day and by night… Lift that noble banner high… Shake down the thunder from the sky! ♫

The Sydney Swans only play in Queensland once this year, and we were not going to miss it! We travelled down to Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast and watched our mighty Swannies trounce the Gold Coast Suns by 72 points! YAY!!

Xan (third from left) qualified for the District Athletics in the 800m race, at her recent school athletic carnival… heats were run today… she was fantastic, even though she much prefers the longer distances (1500m+)… she didn't qualify for the finals tomorrow, but I am so very proud of her effort today ♥

Zeus is 11 years old now… and is 'tolerating' 4 month old Emmett beautifully… not that that is an easy task! (especially since they already see eye-to-eye, and Emmett is almost double Zeus' weight!) lol!
