What is with the sick kids ATM? 
My miss4 vomited 5 times - all exactly half an hour apart yesterday morning from 6am - 8:30am.  Poor kid.

[Bedlam]

I have 2 big sick kids. Dh and DS.  Seems there are some nasties around ATM.
Hope you dd is feeling better.

[obbie]

yes thanks, all back at school this week.

[Nikkit]

I'm early as this is happening tomorrow...

Miss 12 is speaking at Government House in front of about 400 odd people for the Scout Medallion Awards. She did it last year and blew me away, so no doubt she'll stand up there and speak beautifully again this year.

  Just a little bit proud 

[judydawn]

That's great Nikkit, how is she involved with the scout movement?

[astarra]

You have every right to be proud Nikkit - she sounds an amazing girl. 

I had an email from someone yesterday asking me if my daughters could model for her, and have their pictures taken for her website. (she sells hair accessories etc.)
I was not expecting it, so was surprised....and rather proud too,    

[BeezeeBee]

That's awesome, Nikkit!

Which daughters, Astarra? All of them?  Do you get a talent fee? When DS11 was 4, he was featured on a marketing brochure. He used some of the money to buy toys for him and his brothers

[Nikkit]

Yay for your gorgeous girls too Astarra 

Miss 12 is a Scout now, has been in since she was 6 when she could join up as a Joey. She has moved up to a Cub and now a Scout. She will be a Scout until she is about 15 - 15 1/2 I think, then a Venturer if she wants to continue. At this stage she loves it and would love to be a PL (patrol leader) - at the moment she is an APL (assistant patrol leader) of her patrol. She does as many camps as she can and has a pretty impressive list of Leadership skills. The Scouts is an amazing group and I am so glad that our girls have had the chance to be involved. There are so many opportunities.

(did that answer your question Judy ??) 

[judydawn]

Yes thanks Nikkit.  So there are no Girl Guides now?  In my day, scouts was for boys and girl guides for girls.

[astarra]

That's awesome, Nikkit!

Which daughters, Astarra? All of them?  Do you get a talent fee? When DS11 was 4, he was featured on a marketing brochure. He used some of the money to buy toys for him and his brothers

Yep - all 4 of them! They get to keep the accessories and also get paid    Will make a fun day/few days I think!! 

[judydawn]

Good luck with the day astarra, I hope the girls enjoy it.  Are they excited?

[astarra]

Absolutely!!! 
Think excited might be a bit of an understatement ...   

[Cornish Cream]

I hope the girls have a great time Astarra.My late dog who was a Golden Retriever was used in a photo shot for outdoor clothing.I got a free coat

[Nikkit]

There is still Girl Guides Judy, but not as many as there used to be. At some stage they decided girls could join Scouts - not too sure when - must have been in the last 25 years as I was once a "Brown Owl" with School of the Air Brownies!! (not a job I willingly volunteered for I might add) And it was diabolically boring! The girls had to cook, clean, sit like ladies, sip tea with their pinkie out and knit when all they wanted to do was go camping and light a camp fire and cook damper and get dirty   

Miss 12 spoke beautifully on Sunday, my Mum and I were so proud and decided (un-biased-ly of course  ) that she spoke better than the MC! Plus the Chief Commissioner came up to her later and congratulated her on a great job and she even spoke with Malcolm McCusker our Governor General.
And the ballroom at Govt House in Perth is so elegant and lovely.

Astarra your girls will be stars, I hope they - and you - have lots of fun
