‘Air Max’…..Shooting For The Stars

Very impressed with Max Partington and his freshly honed basketball skills. After waiting many weeks for his his new basketball ring to be assembled, and paving to be done to give him a flat area to practice, he is now killing it! Max has put the hours in and now mastered some amazing offensive moves and is extremely hard to defend. His shooting has improved out of sight and his defence is really taking shape. Now that he is playing Under 18’s (at age 13), he will learn to throw his…

12 Inches of Temptation

Our youngest 12yo son ‘ Casanova Max’ is up to his old tricks again. We received the text below from Max in regard to breaking Rule 34a of the School Student Code of Conduct. Max had breached the 30cm student ‘exclusion’ zone by stealing hugs at lunchtime with one of the young ladies. I like the way he pleads ignorance to breaching the rule when less than 24 hours before he told us the rule and was proudly boasting of 4 hugs in a lunch session. We are getting real value…

Max Leaves Note to Parents

Reply Letter to my 12yo son Max!: Dear Max, I have spotted your note on our home office door and I cant believe I actually didn’t disturb you on your holidays as you must be so busy “livestreaming” (whatever that is?). I gather you are burning up our family internet data allocation and putting load on our modem etc making every electronic device in the house run slow. We can no longer download movies on Apple TV anymore due to all the rubbish (games) you and your brother are putting…

Court Out Again – Partington’s Try to Stay Out of jail

Just spent the morning in court! Don’t panic…I just took my 12yo son Max in to watch some cases being heard in relation to drink driving, meth amphetamines, police pursuits etc…as a “learning experience”. I highly recommend anyone with teenage kids to take them in and watch the process. Max learnt so much in an hour that he could write a novel about it, and will never drink and drive. To see the offenders and how the court deals with the cases is incredibly powerful! ( much more fun than…

Partington Boys – Spinning into 2015

Congratulations to all the kids who have recently graduated and are leaving their primary schools etc. Well done to all the kids who received awards, became captains and achieved academic and sporting excellence through their early years on their journey to adulthood. Special mention must go to the ‘Partington Boys’ from Woodside who spent their last day of school making a name for themselves by discovering the game ‘spin the bottle’ ( for kisses on the cheek) and giving out ‘free hugs’ to the ladies. Mum and Dad are very…
