My 8th Birthday

On my 8th birthday I got:

* A Keep-Safe Diary

* Connect 4

* Guess Who

* Slippers

* A lollipop pad and pencil

* A Rubbish Bin for my room

* Tennis Balls

* Money

We celebrated my birthday on Saturday. I had lots of presents, and we had yummy food to eat. In the afternoon we went swimming at the pools, and then we went and got some DVDs out. I chose Cat in the Hat and Dark Shadows. They were both cool, and Cat in the Hat was funny.

On Monday I went shopping with my birthday money and I bought a Tennis Set with pink tennis balls, a drink bottle and a pink and purple tennis racquet.

My 8th birthday was amazing.

School News

This is Faith's news presentation that she did at school:

And here is a puzzle that Granny gave her that she really wanted to show off:

Presents! Yay!

Faith, Shiloh and Mum went grocery shopping today, while the boys were at a cricket match. Faith really doesn’t like grocery shopping because she thinks it’s boring, but today she was a big help to mum by pushing Shiloh in the pram while mum pushed the trolley. She was a good big sister, taking care not to bump into people and not pushing him too fast, and Shiloh was giving her lots of big smiles and had heaps of fun pulling off his socks.

After we got home we were all very tired and relaxing on the couch watching TV, when the phone rang. It was Aunty Sarah, ringing to tell Faith that a parcel had arrived for her from Bella. Faith was so excited her cheeks went bright pink, and she ran down the hallway to tell the boys. They all went over to get the parcel. It was a new pair of sandals.

Bella has a pair of sandals the same, and when they visited at Christmas, Faith had been admiring them and Aunty Donna and Bella decided to get Faith her own pair. What a lovely Aunty and cousin. Faith has been wearing them ever since, and she says they are sooo comfortable she never wants to take them off!
