Seniors Day, 2011

So many came to enjoy their Seniors Day out...

Games galore...

Plenty of food was had :)

This year it was held at Maryvale State School. There was so much food it was not possible to eat it all. There was such a great turn out... People even came from Allora and Warwick. Woohoo... It was so worth it.

All the kids had to make up their own games for the Seniors to do. They made up the games, made up the rules and had to print out the instructions on the computer even. There were 11 games in all that the oldies had a chance to play. And didn't they love it... They all had a ball. Was a little windy on the day but no one cared. It was so wonderful seeing the two generations interaction. I was so blessed to have been able to be there on that day. :)

In the end all the Seniors had to choose which game they loved the best and the one that one by a mile was Josh and Carson's... They were so happy to win... Everyone in the end was a winner though as they all tried their best and they all had a great time...

Well done kids for a wonderful day out for the oldies. :)

Cent Auction

Last weekend we had a Cent Auction down for our local Hall. Much needed funds need to be raised as all our bills are going up... Nothing ever goes down does it? Anyway walked away with some lovely things that I won as well as things that I bought... You did a fantastic job organising it all Carly :)

In the paper again...

Onya kids...

Well here they all are from Maryvale State School, squinting into the sun though, poor kids. :) Mine is the one on the left in the back, can't you tell. :) :)

This is a story that the local free Warwick Paper did on the morning tea that the kids put on and performed at for Senior's day tomorrow two weeks ago. :) Thought I would share. :)

Tuckshop Volunteering...

Reloading happening after first break...

Burgers and the like ready for second break...

When Timothy started High School this year I knew that I wanted to help out there in some capacity. I knew that I would not be able to attend Parent and Citizens Association (P&C) meetings as they were on a Wednesday at 7pm. BAD time for this household that runs on a timeline...

Anyway so I thought, what about the tuckshop, surely they can use me there... Well last Monday I spent the morning there and learnt lots in a very small space of time. :)

I washed up allot, made burgers, wraps and even stocked the freezer. I got lunch in exchange and left at 12:30pm and must say I had a good time. It was good to see Timothy come up and order from me. He was rather proud of his mum I reckon... When the kids were ordering I was smart and stuck to the Grade 8's. Half the time they don't even know what they want so easy to keep up with them. Much easier than the Grade 12's. hehe

I have decided to do this once a month and see how I go. I reckon it will take me that long just to get over it. :) Also must mention that Sally, Kerry and Denise were most helpful with teaching me the ropes. Thanks Ladies :)
