Her Majesty's Weekend
This weekend was all about Her Majesty. Not only did we have the usual swimming lesson on Saturday morning, but that afternoon was her football Presentation Day. This is the time the kids - the Under 7s to the Under 10s at least - get the all-important trophy. Never fear, Sparky gets this as well, just in a few weeks time. But this post isn't about Sparky, it's about Her Majesty.
The club got a couple of the younger Broncos players, Josh McGuire and Andrew McCullough, to come down and present the kids with their trophy. As an aside can I say how great it is that the players do this? It was so cool for Her Majesty to watch the Broncos game this afternoon and see the two blokes who handed her a trophy playing on television - especially when one of them (Josh McGuire) scored a try. "I know him!" she cried. So cool:

Her Majesty's team was also selected as the best modified team at Wests. All kids from U7s-U10s play some sort of modified game, so to be chosen as the best out of 7 teams was quite a thrill for them. Especially as that meant she brought home 2 trophies!
Too freakin' cute, aren't they? Even if coaching them must be like herding cats...But her weekend wasn't done! Today we finally had her birthday party. Yes, her birthday was last month - shut up. At least we managed to have it this year. She spent a few hours with 9 of her closest friends tearing around a local activity centre and generally wearing themselves out. It was fantastic.
That's Her Majesty in the purple with the big ole grin.
And the smiles just didn't stop. Her Majesty occupies her birthday throne in the Castle room. No, I'm not making that up...She got loads of crafts gifts, which she loves. Now we just have to find the time to create them. Hey, did you hear that sound? I think I just broke some law of relativity in trying to eke out more time from our schedule. My apologies, Mr. Einstein.

5 Witty Remarks:
Congrat's to Her Majesty. It sounds like she had a great day all around. Wish we could have been there. I know how great it feels to meet your sports heroes - ask the Shepster what a fool I made of myself meeting Johnny Bucyk forty years after the Bruins won that Stanley Cup.
I hear the trophy day was a great day! Mr Mumfies said how gorgeous Her Majesty was! He was minding three boys and couldn't get Foo and friends to go home!
Looks like a great birthday party too. Check out all the grins on the kids! I think big brother will be able to help with the craft stuff, hey?!
Forgot to add that Foo went to the game and was most excited when that guy scored a try! He told us all about when he got home! He was the guy who gave me my trophy! Big weekend for the littlies.
What an awesome throne! Too cool. She's going to always remember that.
How THAT is a happy grin!
