Home Sweet Home

So I got home a bit after 4pm on Friday (traffic in Adelaide at 3:30pm on a Friday afternoon sucks badly). Was good to be home. However, after this afternoon with three kids plus one of Erin’s friends racing about the house like loonies I was beginning to miss my nice quiet hotel room. I have been sleeping a lot since I got back, but pretty much all at night, which is not a bad thing. As I noted the flights seemed much better synched with the time zones coming back and I don’t seem to be having nearly as much trouble adjusting back, although we’ll see how I go when I go back to work.

While I was gone Ashwyn seems to have finally learned the rules for soccer practice (we have been taking him to Grasshopper Soccer as a way to improve his motor skills a bit and wear him out slightly). For a little while he would basically just do whatever he felt like. Now he seems to have worked out there are things you do and don’t do and this applies to him, not just everyone else. These are, apparently, the rules for soccer:

1. No putting the hands on the ball

2. No grabbing people

3. Listen with our ears

4. No pulling the willy

And finally a few remaining photos from Canada below the cut (or there would be if I could get it to work in Live Writer - which is what editing is for I guess).
