Gingerbread Girl

Asha had her school cross country today, basically a run around the field for the juniors, the weather was threatening (der!) and of course the wind and rain started only while the Room 12 girls did their race poor kids! But they were off and had huge grins all the way around the field. 

Asha (yellow tee, black legs) had come first in the practice yesterday so hopes were high but she came in a very respectable fourth after her three great friends Anna (green), Molly (red) and Sophie(obscured). Well done to all!

So proud of my Big Girl (click on the pic)

Today was a special day for our Asha. Her lovely teacher Miss Crabb emailed me yesterday to let me know that Asha was up for a Principal's award at today's school assembly so we all got ready this morning and trooped in, Matt included to watch her receive it. It was for being a role model for all the children in her class. *sigh* she's a great kid.
