Olympics bound!

Matthew and Benjamin really enjoyed watching the Beijing Olympics. They would watch any event they could but their favourite event was the Mens Gymnastics. One night while Daddy and Mummy were cooking dinner we heard some giggling and 'banging' going on in the lounge room so we snuck our heads around the corner to find the boys doing somersaults and their version of the men's floor routine. Matthew was doing this with a factured collarbone! We also caught them having their own medal ceremony with Noonie!! Matthew had just received his medal for playing soccer and Daddy had found one of his old swimming medals for Benjamin so all the kids had a medal ceremony. Matthew received the gold medal (eventhough his soccer one was silver), Benjamin received the silver medal (eventhough his was actually gold), Annie's job was to hand out the medals and give the boys a handshake and a kiss and Noonie's job was to sing the Australian National anthem eventhough she didn't know the words!! Benjamin also found a purple headband and thought it looked cool and made him look more like a gymnast!! Both boys say they want to go the Olympics one day and come back with a gold medal. Funny thing is - I can actually see this happening!
