Rugby!

Well you know your addicted to scrapbooking when you hang the clothes in anticipation of taking a photo for a page! lol I had the task last weekend to wash the rugby jerseys and yes I did hang them with the thought I could scrap it! What does this mean?? That I'm an addict? Yes, sadly it is true! And yes the number 4 jersey was worn by Callum and the other two were often worn by James!



Both the boys played for Te Puke Sports since we arrived here. Practising twice a week then the game on Saturday morning - always 9am which has been quite good as we are out early and home by lunchtime. The furthest away they have played was in Kati Kati which took us an hour and half to travel from where we are. It was an early start that day as they boys had to be at the field by 8.15. This is Callums second year playing and earned the nickname "bull", his most prized possessions after a rugby match were his bruises! James has enjoyed the team membership of the game and the other boys but wasn't so keen to get in there and knock them all over like Callum. Callum has had 4 Forward Player of the Day over the season.

The Bay of Plenty Steamers are the local team for the Air NZ Cup and the boys are keen converts! Although Callum says he if there is a HB vs BOP game he will support HB (he's loyal!) They won tickets through PGG Wrightsons to have a practise and a game with the Steamers so we went along to one of their practice nights and they came home with signed Rubgy balls and excitement of meeting the players. Callum loves to watch any rugby game on tv and aspires to being an All Black.
