After a massive Thursday night, Friday night was spent being very ginger and I was quiet at home preparing for the first of my new D&D gaming groups session for Saturday night.
Before that though, on Saturday morning we took Kate to netball - her first game in 5-6 weeks due to weather, byes and school holidays, and the Blaxland Redbacks "Sparkles" were very rusty and had their first loss of the season 0-1. Kate played very good though and she is really enjoying the netball. I will need to look into taking the girls to a Sydney Swifts game or something... Kate won "Player of the Week" and got to take home the teams trophy for the week and she was very excited. Then late in the game, the teams manager asked if Kate would mind backing up and playing a second game in the Under 9's as that team was short players. We said yes, and Kate literally was jumping out of her skin when she found out. That team lost as well, but she was very happy to have played with some older girls (and they score more goals in the U/9's the final score was about 12-7) and she had a run at Goal Shooter as well for a while, but didnt get any goals herself. A great experience for her.
Saturday night was D&D night and Tommy, Pete, Grant and Nate came around to kick off the "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil ". I will probably get around to posting a first session narration in the forum, but a good night was had by all. The game ended around midnight and we'll be playing every 4-6 weeks. I, as DM, was a fair bit rusty with the rules!!
Sunday was more relaxing... the spent the morning after a sleep in helping the girls paint their cardboard cubby houses. Niki picked up for just $10 at Go-Lo some cardboard houses that the kids can sit in. They're like a giant colouring in book style cubby house and the girls were painting in the bricks, flowers and vines and using texta's to colour in the buttflies and lady beetles on the side. After spending an hour and half doing that, I watched Saints get trounced by the Warriors and then had a bit of an afternoon nap.
BBQ'ed for dinner, including some Holoumi cheese... the girls played a muck around game of D&D after dinner for an hour (my books and stuff were still on the table) and then it was a quiet night of tele and websurfing where I played around with Firefox extensions... GOD! How exciting!!!
