U9 Tigers Football Season Starts + Cycling at Hadleigh

This past weekend the football season started up again which now means that every weekend from now until 17th December is completely taken with training Saturday and matches Sunday. Brandon's U9 Tigers team had their first 7-a-side league match this weekend and did very well indeed. The game was a little tight for the first half with us only taking a 1-0 lead. But then the boys really stepped it up in the second half and in the end we comfortably won 5-1. Brandon played very well with lots of pace and energy, he could have (and arguably should have) had a couple of goals himself! Anyway I won't go too hard on him for not scoring as this week I also found out that he has been selected by Chelsea to play in for them in their foundation development league match. Nanny would be proud of him!!

After the weekend of football we spent Sunday afternoon chilling out over Hadleigh Mountain bike course. Holly wanted to take her little bike with the stabilisers, so I fitted the balance buddy so that I could also push her around. She was so funny as she was screaming at the top of her voice every time I took her down one of the ramps or slopes. She absolutely loved it over there and was even managing to do some pedalling on her own.

 

After a day full of exercise the kids were all very tired and we had no trouble getting Holly to sleep. A nice bath using some of Zoe and Nick's bath bombs from the wedding and the kids were ready for the sack. Holly now insists on taking all her Peppa Pic teddy's to bed with her and they all have to line up under her quilt with their heads sticking out. It looks very cute but doesn't leave her much room.

What a beautiful smile. Next year we will lose the stabilisers.

The kiddies asked to go to Hadleigh in the afternoon and absolutely loved spending the afternoon over there and in the late September sunshine.
