Star Wars & Bunting

It’s that wonderful time of the year…… the preparation for Ben’s Birthday.  It is no secret that I love birthdays, birthday parties, and all things that make them wonderful.  So this year Ben is having a small (family and neighbors) Star Wars Lego party.  I started on the invitation today and didn’t expect the reaction I received.  You see I put bunting on it and apparently Star Wars and Bunting don’t go!!!  My brother-in-law even went as far as comparing it to putting X Men in tutus.  Andrew tried to tell me there is not such thing as Star Wars bunting.   And my sister-in-law said it makes the Star Wars characters seem a little feminine.  But I love it!!   More importantly Ben thinks it is amazing!!!  I think this will be the last year I can get away with  bunting for his birthday.  So in my world Star Wars and bunting are a perfect match!!!

A few hours later…… I rethought the whole bunting thing and went with stars.  I still prefer the bunting….hehehhe!

Queensland Flood Recovery – Brassall State School

My second week volunteering at Brassall State School made the enormity of the task at hand very clear .   The donations are still coming in…. with a pallet of books coming from Tasmania, a Brisbane high school making donations just to mention a few.  People’s generosity is breath taking…….. so so so  lovely.   There is some extraordinary books  – three quarters of the library is filled with boxes!!   There is still no computer system…. which maybe is not such a bad thing as the books all have to be cleaned, sorted, stamped, covered, bar-coded and then cataloged. It is overwhelming to look at the sheer amount of books and resources ….. better to focus on one box at a time.  Hopefully Mum and I can make a little difference.
