September Happenings 3

E11 came up with the idea of making a table tennis (or ping pong, as A3 much prefers calling it)table on our dining room table. You see, we don't have a lockable safe garage or a rumpus room to fit a full size table in and you certainly couldn't fit one in the garden shed that has belongings coming out to meet you when you open the door! So E11 put her thinking cap on and constructed some bats out of very stiff cardboard and a net from knitting needles and a piece of string. There was some fierce rivalvry between the parties that found themselves on the end of a bat!!! We had the 'fun of cork' as Gran would say.

BEAUTIFUL PRESSIE

e11 has been busy over the past couple of days creating and making (with a little help from Mum!) this beautiful apron, for her friend's birthday tomorrow. we used this tutorial to make it out of a teatowel that we found on sale not so long ago. the teatowel already had the stripes on the bottom of it so with a couple of little additions this is what we came up with:

G B Family Night

E11, it has been great to see you enjoy making new friends at Girl's Brigade this term. We went along to the 'Family Night' last week to watch the much awaited 'Hip Hop' dance and the other skits that the younger and older girls had been practising. We hope you continue to have fun getting to know the other girls/families and enjoy learning new things together so that in turn you can share with us. Well Done!

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY........ANOTHER CAKE!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to our very special

E11!

Thanks for being the best Mothers Day present ever!

You arrived mid-morning on Mothers Day, 11 years ago.

It was such a wonderful feeling to cuddle such a cute little girl bundle

and thank God that He gave you to us.

You continue to be such a blessing to our family.

We love to watch you create, whether it be in that lovely 'tidy'(!!!) sunroom

or in the kitchen or at the table.

God has blessed you with special abilities in being able to see something you like

and to be able to recreate it, usually with your own creative flair in no time at all,

and usually it's for someone else.

We love your sense of fun, the giggles, the friendships that you are building with

J12, S8, A2, and your friends. You seem to have no trouble at all in finding a

friend no matter where you are - such a special gift.

Thank you for all you are and all you do for us.

we love you E(nearly)11

*****Hope you enjoy your special day tomorrow*****
