Birthday Boy

Back so soon - a first for me!
Actually last week I did a nice long post about Jake, telling you all about his rugby games the weekend before last, along with a nice scrapbooking page. When I went to publish it the whole thing disapeared - never to be seen again. I was really brassed off as I was so busy and didn't have the time to re-do it. Anyhow, now I will just say that it was a good weekend but very hot. I was just sitting around and taking a few photos and I was in a sweat, I felt sorry for the players as it was 39C and there was no shade at all. This week I will purchase an umbrella so we will have a bit of shade for next time.
Jake's birthday was yesterday and he had a nice day, not much time for enjoying his prezzies but everyone was so nice to him. His two dyslexia teachers both gave him vouchers (one is for books and one is for a game of 10 pin bowling),
he got some money (thanks Sue & Mike) and his really big gift from us was a PSP and a game for it from Scott. He is delighted with it, it was a toss up between that and an Ipod but he really only likes a handfull of tunes so I think the PSP is better and he can still have his MP3's and even photos on it. I can't wait to give it a try! We got home late from his after school dyslexia help so just had a simple dinner but with a special desert birthday cheesecake. This Thursday he will go to the movies with three friends, then bowling and burgers, he is really looking foward to that now.

This weekend is shaping up to be really busy again. Jake has a big rugby tournament at Abu Dhabi over both days. Teams from all around the Middle East, so it will be crowded. Sounds like we have to park our cars then get a shuttle bus to the fields. I will post some more photos as soon as I get a chance. Scott is back a school but finds all the stairs a struggle with crutches.

Grant took the boys to school this morning so I have and extra hour before I have to go in, I've done a few chores then this wee update here and soon I will be off again.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Mum and Dad, Jake is eagerly waiting for the mail to come through!

Here is the photo I did last week of Jake.
OK I've tried 4 times and the photo wont load so I will get back to it later today and it will go to the top of the blog. I have to dash now or I will be late.
