It feels like this weekend has flashed by in a matter of minutes. It's been a good one but I feel like just a little while ago it was Friday afternoon and now I am sitting here awaiting the arrival of fish and chips for my Sunday evening meal.
Mum had the kids last night so that David and I could go to a Quiz Night, which was a lovely treat. Jamie was off at her friend Alex's birthday party and Caitlyn spent the night at her Dad's, after traveling with him in his truck to Albany and back on Saturday. The boys, Dave and I all stayed at Mum's for the night after the quiz night which was a lovely treat for everyone (oops, already said that.) Dylan is thinking of moving is as he was delighted with the service, suggesting that living at Nanny's was like living in a Hotel. Michael actually questioned how it was different for him than being at home where he is also waited on...
Anyway, back to the quiz night....It was great fun, we were on a table with a friend who is a teacher with me and her husband, Helena and Stuart, and two parents from school, Jane and Doug. David was very brave early on in the evening in baring his chest to attempt to win a prize for the hairiest chest. Unfortunately he didn't win but I thought he was a winner and he was definitely the star of the night, I'll share why a little later. I also attempted to win a prize for the first person up the front with a belly button piercing, I was beaten by someone sitting just near the judging table. A bit disappointing but more unsettling that now all of the parents at school know my belly button is pierced - Oh well! I also won mobile phone bingo but didn't have my phone there to prove it. I won a really nice basket of Nutrimetics stuff in a raffle. At the end of the night we finished equal third and David went to the front of the room as the representative for our table, for an elimination round. The question was "apart from humans what is the only other mammal that has been trained to stand on it's head" after a few guesses David correctly guessed "elephant" and we were awarded third prize. The prize was some vouchers, Andrew Denton's Enough Rope book, a PDA cover and some other bits and pieces, we were well chuffed with ourselves.
After getting home from Mum's I have spent the afternoon working on the spelling bee that I am organising for schools in our local area. Sixteen schools are registered which I am pleased about, I'm really nervous though, I hope it all goes well. The kids at school are really excited, which is the aim of the whole thing to get kids motivated and excited about spelling - please keep your fingers crossed for me!
Wow!! This was a long one, I'm gonna go, I think I just heard Dave back with the chippies.
Take care,
Chris
P.S. I love ya Pete - I will try not to let my head get too big but it's so hard with all this power and when even David agrees that my blog is so much better (just kidding that was a lie!!) I promise I'll do my best - let's catch up soon!
Is it okay to P.S. on a blog????
