Where Does The Weekend Go?

Saturday morning did see a bit of excitement with that accident. The boy had a birthday party to go to just after lunch. Once again it was at Jungle Gym in Willeton. We haven't seen the family of his best friend since last school holidays. He had a good time but during the meal the boys were only interested in burping and farting. Seven year olds. Later that night we went to our favourite Japanese restaurant in Vic Park - Senoji. The kangaroo that Yu-Jin and I had was fabulous.

Sunday morning saw us fruit and veg shopping in Subi. And who should we bump into but the birthday family from yesterday. Then the boy and I went to Auskick in Riverton to see if he would like to play. Yes, was the answer. Back home for lunch and to clean the house. Following that we headed off to Belmont to watch a taekwondo tournament. We knew a few of the competitors who ended up winning trophies. There were some great skills on display and a few poor fighting techniques. Good for Yu-Jin to see what goes on. I managed to stay up to watch the first set of the men's final at Wimbledon. It was the first time I'd seen any tennis as the tv coverage is abysmal in Australia. Shame on you Channel 9 for ruining one of the world's major sporting events.

I didn't get time to read more than a few pages of the sports section in the paper. The weekend just goes.

Yu-Jin's Birthday Party

We had Yu-Jin's birthday party today. Had to have it a few weeks late because we couldn't organise it during the school holidays as we don't know where half of his friends live. The party was at Tumblers Kids Gym at Riverton Leisureplex. Only one kid who was invited didn't show. But instead of having a total of eight kids there were 12 as siblings came along too. Luckily they didn't charge any extra and there was enough food to around. Bit left over for the parents who came too.

Couple of hours of running around, lots of Fanta and Pepsi, chips, fairy bread, hot dogs and popcorn. Surprisingly the chips were left over. Kids had a good time. Parents were relaxed and got to talk a lot. You couldn't pay me enough to run one of these parties with screaming, demanding kids.

Chips were on the menu.

Ice cream cake for birthday cake. No better way to go.
