You know it was A1's birthday and he had that fab gift from his fab 'rents (that would be us) to be a mascot for the day for our favourite footy team, right? Well it gets even better!
The day he was said mascot (a huge grin covered his entire face), the hubby ran into one of our favourite players-who just happened to remember us because as
He mentioned to "our good friend" (cracking myself up over here) that I was up in a box looking down on the event because the kid picked Dad over me (not bitter). The pictures may have been a little clearer if I wasn't waving and telling the kids, "Look! There's Daddy, he's talking to Darel Russell".
Sexy Guy mentioned that I might be disappointed to have been rejected because I own a Simon Lappin training shirt and I wanted to wear it in a photo with him.
"Rusty" told him, "We can fix that" and set off to get Simon for a photo with me.
I mentioned I was up in a box, right?
It was a box I wasn't supposed to be in, but being that I'm from another country and don't speak the language over here, I took a wrong turn and went into the wrong place. I was in the "posh" area with a fantabulous view, but inaccessible to dreamy players looking for a photo opportunity with moi.
So sad for Simon.
Anyway, when we were discovered to be in the wrong place, they moved me and the two sons to the room we were supposed to be in-- the room with no windows. We quickly got bored with that and went to our seats a little early.
A1 had his spotlight moment kicking around with the players in front of 25,000 people and then he and his dad joined us to watch Norwich City win.
Great day all around.BUT, it gets better.
We got a phone call the next day-- you won't believe this! Simon Lappin rang MY house!! He wanted to come out and meet me and MY family. He wanted to come kick a football around in my garden after taking a picture with me.
and then I woke up.
THIS is a testament to why one should get the appropriate amount of sleep. What a life we can have in dreamland.
Sleep, it does a body good.
THAT is why I'm not blogging. Kind of.
You had me! Looks like a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOMG, forget the dreaming, real life is more than good enough for this week - what a brilliant experience, one your whole family will remember for always! (I can still see you smile as I type..)
