Lachie's Favourite Day

Warning...LOTS of photos on this post!!
If you haven't heard already, Lachie got to be the junior Magpie of the day yesterday and run the match ball onto the field at the start of the game. He sat with the reserve players on the bench throughout the game too, got himself on Sky coverage, and had a truly truly memorable day.
With Peter who took care of him and made sure he was being looked after (as well as his chaperon!)
He's been given the match ball and is waiting til the players are ready
Almost time...
Sideline waiting...
GO! As the loudspeaker calls out his name...the very beginning of Sky's coverage is his name...
Right on the spotWaving to Mummy, Cooper, Lily, Eden and Aunty Cathie
Waving to Nannie and Grand-da (and the Smiths!)
Sitting on the bench...Lachie particulary liked Israel Dagg who's resting from the All Blacks and was very chatty to him
The ONLY photo Mike took! (He also videoed half of the run too)
After the game and chatting with the players...Cooper insisted holding both the girls' hands
After hanging out in the changing rooms after the game (and sharing their feast!), going to catch the last few players still chatting to fans, to sign his canvas
Zac was last...Lachie painted up a canvas to get the players signatures on. Beats a piece of paper, or another ball...
He got a great big goodie bag full of things, and there's his canvas for his bedroom wall (when I replace that piece of paper with a photo!)
Cooper had his first lollipop! He was given his first kids bag like Lily and Eden, so got to taste all the treats (he doesn't like salt and vinegar chippies!)
Ticklish
One tired boy (and two tired girls, and a buzzing, too tired to sleep big boy too!)
Watched the replay today and took some photos of the screen for the photobook Lachie and I spent the day making.
Izzy had to tell Lachie to smile becasue Lachie didn't know that was the camera right there!



We read an article about the other boy in the paper just before the gameHika (great try, but what was that afterwards???) asked him lots of questions too
That's me and Lily (not our usual seats) before the game started...during the game I was quite distracted taking photos of Lachie and reading/replying to texts! Plus Lily wrote a big list in her diary noting every score change and who and why to show the players at the end...they just grabbed a pen and signed her book though ☺ and she also spent a lot of time telling that guy there in front of me with the yellow and black jersey that he was losing (his daughter was really cute)
My girls (sitting on fence with black and white legs) hi-5ing the players (Aunty Jayne, it's Cathie with the bucket hat on, not Nannie!)
Such a cute moment...MJ/Michael Johnson with Eden
