BLACK OUT



For those of you who don't know, the rugby World Cup kicks off today, here in NZ.

This country is a bit  ridiculously obsessed with rugby.

The kids got caught up in RWC fever, with their blackout today, in support of our national team, The All Blacks. All I can say is - THANK goodness our colour is black. No offence to my aussie counterparts intended, but yellow and green would be SO hard to do en masse!!




Another thing, it is impossible to get a sensible photo of an 8 year old boy, I'm finding.

It takes a while to get a sensible photo of boys full stop!!! My nephew is 13 this year,and I think I got the first pic of him looking normal EVER just recently!!
Rugby?! Yawn.I used to really enjoy it,actually,but the last year or so I've just not found it so interesting, and I can't bring myself to be interested in the world cup!It's sweet how peeps get into it,though!

Not a bad lineup - you look a tad agressive though (in a good way)! Enjoy RWC. We have footy finals here too this w/end. cheers Wendy

OOh rugby! Do you play? I want to know how bad it hurts. I admire it so much. No pads. I hate American football. I never grew up with it so I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Go the ALL BLACKS!! :)
We are actually watching them now.

I always found it hard to get decent photos of our boys too...we chuckle now when looking back through them all.
