Every Monday at 8 o'clock the girls have Playball, and they all absolutely love it. Their mother does not enjoy trying to get three girls to eat their breakfast, get dressed, sun blocked and hair done all by 8 but the result is worth it! They just have the best time!
Basically they are taught all sorts of ball skills, how to throw, catch, bounce and hit balls. Sometimes at the end of the session the play a P.C version of 'Bull Rush', ie no one gets badly injured playing! But they don't know how we used to play it as kids, and that somebody always ended up being hurt! What year did they ban 'bull rush' from schools? They really have taken all the excitement out of school playgrounds!
Anyway, today Paddy won the trophy, she couldn't have been more pleased if she had won a gold medal at the Olympics! As we do live in a P.C world everyone eventually gets to win the trophy, but today it was Paddy's turn to shine!

I don't know "bull rush"... I wonder if there's a western world equivalent? Anyway, that's a very fine trophy! Congrats.
Lizzie, I noticed you followed the cutest blog on the block link on my blog. I just happened upon it and they have all sorts of free backgrounds with easy instructions on how to load them into your site. Best of all for you... they have lots of pink options!
Hugs and pugs!
Well done Paddy, we are so very proud of you
love
Bob and Jo
