So close Xan… sooo close!

Playing touch football today as part of an inter school competition… but Xan's first game today was against a team from her own school… she chased this boy down a few times during the game but was always coming from the other side of the field, so never quite caught him… much to her chagrin! lol!

Xan and Willow's school had their fair yesterday… it was a huge amount of fun!!… but, being a senior leader in the school, meant Xan had some jobs to do too… starting with the face-painting stand!!

Today we had the perfect storm of hockey fixtures… all three games were at the same venue (though different fields)… at different times… one game after the other… and the weather was beautiful – sunny and dry ♥♥♥

The only thing missing was a win for Xan's team (that Russ now coaches)… they went down 2-0… but Willow's team won 5-1 and Darci's team won 7-0

(Xan's team doesn't normally play on grass, but they had to make up for a game that was canceled, due to rain, last month… and Darci plays on two teams – one turf (Fri) and one grass (Sat))

Ok, so I may have woken him up… but that look, in that final photo, was enough to make back slowly out of Zoe's bedroom… who says animal's can't 'talk'

Look who we found at the doggie park… Emmett's twin, Diego! The similarities were amazing… from the shape of their heads, to the black spot and black tip on their tails… seriously freaky!… BUT they are not even the same breed! Emmett (11 weeks) is half St Bernard, half Macedonian Mountain Dog, and Diego (15 weeks) is a pure Leonberger… and they were best of mates in no time ♥♥♥
