School's out for half term

Curious cow

So Tom finished school for half term holiday on Friday - but first he had a party at Lucas' house, he was being picked up straight from school which meant that Matt and I were free until 6.30pm when he was being returned.  What else to do but go to the Old Post Office to celebrate - so we did!

He came home around 7pm very happy, and went straight to bed.

Saturday morning was Craven football where his team were playing against a team from Kendal.  It was a friendly and was mainly for the practise than anything else.  The team did well, winning 5-0, Tom was in the second team who put up a good fight (can't remember the final score - but it was pretty equal)

Walk leader Tom

Tom, unfortunately didn't  play his best, once again he danced around and waited for others to do the work for him, he scored 3 goals, which was great, but he didn't create any chances, just waited for the chances to come to him, whilst the other members were trying really hard - especially Lexi and Caitlin who worked their socks off.  It was disappointing, he still hasn't 'got' the concept of teamwork and team spirit.  We are wondering how to explain it to him...

Anyway, we got home, Tom had a shower and opened up a parcel addressed to him, it was a pack of walks for children around the Yorkshire Dales from Jude - written so that children can easily follow, understand and lead them.  Tom suggested we go to Malham, so we did and he was the leader for the whole walk - didn't get us lost at all.  It was a good walk, so to celebrate, we went to the pub for a pint.

Then back home for dinner, then we packed, before heading to bed.
