Day 17

Today is the last day of our 17 days to make a difference!!!! So today I tried to do a really good kind deed. So I decided that because my mum's cousin is coming up from Hamilton and is staying at our house, I said that she could have my room and I would sleep in Lucy or Davids room. So I spent all Friday afternoon and half of Saturday morning cleaning my room (it wasn't messy before but I still had to dust everything and change my bed and all that stuff) Doretta will arrive today after dinner, I hope she will like her room!!!!!!!

Day 16

today I walked my dog to Mellons bay With my sister caroline and then dad came down and picked us up. I know what I've done is good because while we were there our minster came over and was talking to our parents about the churchs plans, if we had'dnt Rusty would have been ALL over Kevin (our minster) and jumpy. When we got home mum said 'thanks girls, Rusty would have been a pain if he had been here!!!'

Day 15

Today my dad was going a school board meeting and he needed something to take - like a plate or something so I made him a chocolate cakewith frangipannieso on top. It looked really pretty!!
