Homemakers Year End Function

Our 2008 party Theme was Italian Icons...

I went as a Ferrari Pit Babe, some went as Marylin Monroe, mafia and scar face, some went as the Peroni girl, some did the whole flapper thing. It was really nice to see that everyone went all out with their outfits and the venue looked gorgeous. Red checkered table cloths and candles in old wine bottles. Our goodie boxes this year were on a shoe string budget so we got some spagetti with pasta sauce and a funky Homemakers "Slice of the Good Life" CD with all kewl Italian songs on including O Sole Mia, Joe Dolce's Shadduppa Your Face - good music for listening in the car. A lot of effort and thought went into the entire day - our PR department really out-did themselves.

We had a beautiful italian lunch, lots of dancing, spagetti sucking competition, awards for the best dressed, best dancers, best party spirit...it was all really well done and tons of fun.

Swimming Prize Giving for Megan and Kaylin

Kaylin is finished with Aquatots and got all her 10 badges and her Club Badge which means she has completed the course. Now I don't have to be in the pool with her from next year! Kewl.

Megan got 75% for her butterfly stroke and got a Silver Medal for that. She blew us away by winning The Best Learn to Swim Student of 2008. She couldn't have been more chuffed with herself. Riaan and I couldn't have been more proud.

I'm a little sad she won't be going back next year. Megan said she doesn't want to swim anymore :-(
