Alot! This update will include a few different items - with photos from most of the events we got up to each week. (My apologies for the slack blogging, my only excuse being pregnancy). Events in order of most recent listed first:
1st Dec. Carol Singing: at Erin Park was a blast! (no photos sorry) The residents just loved us! Which was quiet reassuring given we were rather nervous at our lack of practice. I think I speak for us all tho, when I say we were really blessed ourselves when it was so evident we had made a difference to their morning. Thanks for having us Erin Park!
29th Nov. BBQ Breakup/picnic at Maraetai: surprisingly, it was a fair afternoon! A bit of wind, but a couple of us still worked up the courage to get in the water (which was very pleasant!). The children enjoyed the playground, and eating their dinner alfresco with each other - what an adventure!
25th Nov. Christmas Crafts: Michele Gallichan came armed with pasta, glue guns, & gold paint. She taught us how to make gorgeous christmas decorations out of Pasta. Those that braved the hot glue enjoyed creating unique wee angels for their Christmas Trees. Thanks for your time Michele (Mum), we totally appreciated it!
18th Nov. Gardens Picnic: No photos for this one, as we were all esconced in the cafe drinking our hot coffees and some of us indulging in some yummies. When we did venture outside for a walk to see the ducks, the rain decided to make it's presence known, so we all raced with our prams back to shelter. Ah well, we enjoyed the coffee & chat at any rate.
11th Nov. Sewing: Far out! Who knew we could be domestic goddess'? Well, we are. All sewed a pefect invisible hem, so men... Now your wives can easily take up your new trousers if they're too long. :o)
4th Nov. Flowers: Jenny Rosser was awesome! She showed us all how to put together an arrangement, and mostly from the sorts of flowers we have in our back yards. We all really enjoyed it and went home inspired! Thanks so much for your time & skills shared, Jenny!
