The face of a little girl that has just won the Eureka T-Shirt competition…
Fresh home from school with her hair in a scruffy ponytail and pen all over her hands from drawing. She’s a happy girl! A sincere thank you to all of you that voted for her.
Being the third child means Abby doesn’t always get to ‘do’ stuff. Her two older brothers are allowed on their bikes around the street alone. They go to bed later at night. They play together, often excluding Abby from their imaginary Pokemon games.
So when her ‘boys’ sat down to create drawings for the Eureka competition, Abby really didn’t think she had a chance. The boys spent hours on their creations, discussing the whole time whether theirs would win. Abby decided to draw something too, and her first instinct was to draw strawberries.. eating healthy was something they have been drumming into them at school, so it was a strawberry “Who’s eating healthy” creation that she made. We put her entry in with entries from “boys” and off they went.
Imagine the giggles of delight at seeing her design as a finalist and Abby’s ‘boys’ weren’t. Oh. The. Power!!
So thanks everyone. Thanks for making a little girl’s day. It really was fabulous to see her giggle and dance around the room knowing she had beat the third-child blues and succeeded at something that ‘her boys’ had not.
Thanks to Eureka as well. They have just rung and are sending the certificate and prize. I look forward to handing it over to Abby!
Alrighty – an update with the running thing – am I running? Sometimes. Last week I threw my hands in the air at the weather and the dark and joined the gym in efforts to do something else. And then couldn’t move for 3 days afterwards. I was back at it on Thursday though, and have gone pretty much everyday since. My focus has shifted. I’ve been at this new fitness game for over a year now and it took me ‘til about 10 days ago to realise I’m never going to be much of a runner. So I’m happy with my 5km fitness, and I hit the gym for toning. It’s a happy middle ground. Except when I have to get out of bed at 5.15am to get there.
Prima Build A Page for August has been released, this is my version. This time the photo is of Skye and her Momma. Such a sweet pic, I was thrilled to be able to showcase it!
Have a good one!
