All together now ... breathe :)

Panic has been averted somewhat by the realisation that we do not actually have to be in Invercargill until midday (not 10.00am as first thought) ...

K has his first BMX competition of the season this weekend ... 21 races over three days in three different cities ... Invercargill today, Gore tomorrow, back here in Dunedin on Monday (hooray for long weekends) ...

Not exactly the way I would have preferred to spend my birthday weekend ... but when you have kids you do all manner of things that aren't your "first choice" of activity. I mean, who really wants to get out of bed early on a wintry Saturday morning and stand in the rain watching their child run around a muddy field ? Kids birthday parties ?!?!? Sure ... count me in !!!

We're taking one of K's friends away with us ... we think he might like it (trying to create another BMX convert !!!) and K will definitely enjoy having another boy to buddy with.

Gotta go ... the MOTH is tapping his watch and looking perturbed ...
