Grant downloaded "Waka Waka" - the official World Cup song, and it played over and over again while I painted the girls faces, it was hilarious to see Niave trying to copy Shakira and co.
We got dressed in our colours and donned our facepaint and headed for the Carters! Grant wheeled himself there in his chair, it's about 2,5 - 3 km away, he did pretty well and arrived only a little while after us - but a lot sweatier!!
Lisa had all sorts of yummy things to eat in yellow and red - for Spain and orange - for Netherlands.
The BIG screen:
The closing ceremony was amazing and a brilliant way to end off seeing as South africa has been given top marks for how we hosted the tournament, the closing was top class.
We had a great time and it was quite a nailbiting affair with the score 0 - 0 at full time. An extra 30 minutes allowed Spain the opportunity to score the winning goal - YAAAAAY!!!!!!!
Because the game went into extra time and the prize giving afterwards we got home shortly before midnight. Niave had dozed for about 10 minutes but other than that they had been awake the whole time. That didn't deter Niave from asking for peanut butter toast and a story before bedtime!! And she got both because who wants to argue with a 4 year old at midnight??!!
A very tired girl - notice the time on the clock!
Fortunately they did not have to go to school the next day, I on the other hand did! Abigail woke up at about 9:00 and Niave at about 10:00 - unheard of in this house! Of course I was not able to take advantage of their one and only late sleep - I was up and ready before 8:00!!
So now the World Cup is over - there is no more soccer to watch, whatever are we going to do?!!
