Sunday with Lachlan

Today was the last day of Lachlan's school holidays - so we went out and had some fun! First up we joined Kelley, Lorance, Cassia, Reilley and Valentina for some kegel bowling. Lachlan and I didn't exactly cover ourselves with glory at this - so after we left the McGlashan family, we went on to the 10 pin bowling alley to see if we could do any better at this.

Lachlan was pretty impressive ... his score card had a heap of strikes and spares. My bowling was slightly less wonderful (sore arm, broken ribs.... any excuse will do).

After bowling, we had a couple of games of pool.... neither of us expects an invitation to play in a professional tournament soon!

On the way home we stopped to check out the impressive storm front rolling off the mountain - the weather is amazing here sometimes.

Then Lachlan had his very first drive. He got his L Plates back in June, but hasn't had a chance to get behind the wheel until today. We went to some of the little back roads at Raleigh and Lachlan did a pretty darned good job... no kangaroo hopping and only stalled a couple of times.

Tonight Lachlan lovingly tended to his filthy, disgusting, smelly, falling apart converse shoes. I would like the world to know that I bought him some beautiful, new shoes - but he refuses to wear them.... preferring instead to push his feet into the stinking pieces of cloth which were once converse shoes. He has mended the 'shoes' so many times that I think they are now almost entirely made up of the dental floss he uses to sew them up!
