By the time Saturday came around, Brooke was busting at the seams. So excited to have about 8-9 friends and cousins over for a fancy dress party. This is the table at lunch time - so much pink! All her little school friends made a big effort and some of the presents were just too much. By the time the kids went home, we were exhausted - particularly Niki who had been getting the house and food ready for days!
And today, Sunday, we had a social game of cricket and tried to make a big deal and emphasis on the "social" element of the game. We had alot of the wives and girlfriends and kids down and probably the most handsome BBQ man ever ;-)
The game itself was "Wogs" vs "Aussies" and unfortunately, the Aussies got trounced by around 90-100 runs. A few house rules, 24 overs a side, all players must bowl at least 2 overs and no more than 4. Can't get out for a duck and last man of the 7 players can carry his bat.
And because of the obligation that EVERYONE must bowl, then this photo is the only evidence of me bowling. If I have my way, it will NEVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN! :)
A great day was had by all, but geez it was hot... semi finals next week!

ah, so the german enigma that is seibs is actually an aussie! i'm looking forward to his classification for the wogs vs aussies football match.

And Terry is half greek, and Paul Agius (no relation to Wayne) is half Maltese...
If it was REALLY wogs vs Aussies, it'd be Noyz & I vs the Rest
