Busy Saturdays
All of a sudden, Saturdays, which used to be lazy days, have become busy. When you're a parent and your kids are at school age, there seem to be a multitude of activities which culminate into Saturday rituals. Currently, for Ethan we have soccer, and for Aidan opportunities have arisen to put him into Saturday care.
Today my parents had slept over due to babysitting the kids last night. So this morning was full of Aidan running around the house yelling "Its Grandma!" at the top of his voice. Aidan had to be made ready for his day care, and Ethan had to be made ready for soccer, with both starting at 9:30am. You'd think that with a 7:00am start for this, we'd be ready by 9:30am, and this time, thankfully we were. I went the soccer route with Grandpa, whilst Anth took the care route with Grandma.
Soccer went well, and Ethan even won a "player of the day" award. As Aidan wasn't home, when we got home from Soccer, I suggested that Ethan and I could go down to Movie World and do the kids rides for a few hours, and that way Anth could get a kip in with Callum. Sweet, so we did that, and were back by 3:00pm to pick up Aidan.
From there, it was a mad dash to the shops for Mother's Day gifts and the weekly shopping ritual, then home and out for dinner again with friends to celebrate joint birthdays. After that it was back to our house with the same friends for a night of AFL football watching.
You know, I could be on reality TV. If you packaged up the highlights of the day, you could squeeze it into half an hour (including ads), and "Ta-da", half an hour of crap, but highly watchable and entertaining, prime time viewing. The kids would love it!
Ciao for Now, No TV - You just read it here Angry Dad.
