Its hard work carrying around a cast...

Oliver today out on the lawn taking a much needed rest. Carrying around his heavy cast isn't stopping him from being active but he gets so worn out! A little rest in the sun was needed.
Do you love the bright green cast?

Ouch!

You know that scream that all mums hate to hear - that loud pitch scream that shouldn't come from a 8 year old boy, well I heard it today. Having a great time celebrating our nephews third birthday and then screaming. I actually didnt hear it
at first (hate to admit it!) but it wasn't a sound I thought I would hear from my children - ever.
We all raced over and asked for the First Aid person - the staff all looked at us blankly OK thats not the response I wanted. We opted to just take him straight to A&E and 4 hours later we emerged with a broken elbow and a white cast!!
Oliver was mega brave and is ready for bed!

First Holy communion

So we finally made it through all our course and Oliver made his first Holy Communion on Sunday. It was really low key and lovely. Here a just a couple of photos from the day.

Oliver!

So most of Oliver's Baby photos were taken on film (aaahhhh the good ole days) But as I was going through his folder on the computer I found these two that were taken right at the beginning of my digital camera career!
I love the Sepia grainy one but as I had mucked around with it on the computer to email I actually saved it as a tiny file! I know how silly. It was always blurry but I just love it!
Oliver was sick all last week which is so unlike him. The poor little man 81/2 years old, was so good with it all even saying that he was trying to be quite while he was coughing in the night so that he wouldn't wake us all. What a trooper!

Rugby World Cup 2011

Well, its been weeks in the planning.
Security, guards, secret location!!
We were soooooo lucky to be able to view THE CUP. Rugby is huge in our family. Huge. So to be able to go see this was amazing. Only a selected few and luckily we were in the know with people and got in. Oliver was buzzing. wonder if he will get to hold in up one day?????

Sports day

Oliver had his sports day today and as per usual i was the photographer. My biggest problem was Missy Toe Rag doing a runner on me every 5 mins!! It wouldn't have been a problem apart from being right near the river!
Its hot here today and I miss my husband who is on school camp. One more sleep.
I have been busy making felt Easter eggs for a Easter egg hunt on Sunday - the kids love them! Will post a pic later.
