Today was Sports Carnival for the Prep - Year Twos.

Because the weather forecast was 32 deg, the school made the wise decision to move back the timing from 12.30 pm to 10 am.

J and I got there one and a half hours late, and had trouble finding a parking spot. We ended up parking between the main carpark and Werribee Baptist Church and making the long trek to the oval.

Thanks be to God for His providential timing. We actually arrived just in time for the running races, and got to cheer on not only Beth but many boys and girls that we know.

Heathdale has a policy of grouping children according to ability, so a less athletic child would never find herself competing against a future Olympic winner, for instance.

This enlightened policy led to a most delightful outcome for our book-loving child...

...Beth's first ever blue ribbon for running.

To celebrate, Mummy made a 3/4-cup cake (ingredients: 3/4 cup each of SR flour, milk, sugar, dried fruit) with a special congratulatory message piped (very amateurishly) in icing for the champion athlete.

Look at that smile!
