The Hitty girls arrive at 8.30 am on Tuesday morning at Kowhai Corner Hall to set up. The babies and toddlers start arriving at 8.40 am! Brenda arrives with three of her children.
Tricia greets Brenda and takes the children inside the hall and introduces them to the other children.
Aunt Susan arrives with her baby and offers to stay and help. The Hitty girls want to look after the children on their own. Stephie arrives next with Sweets and is welcomed by Annabelle.
Stephie is passing Sweets to Annabelle when Daisy arrives with William. Brenda, Stephie and Daisy are going shopping together.
The Hitty girls are busy with so many children to look after.
Two hours later at the hall, Tricia is trying to give Hope her bottle. Annabelle is successfully giving Sweets her bottle and William is playing with a toy car. Alana is putting a baby in her pram for a sleep. Thelma is rocking one of the twins to sleep. Jackie is happily playing with a teddy bear. Aunt Susan has gone home because her baby was unsettled and cried a lot. The Hitty girls are pleased she has left.
Meanwhile at the Mall... Daisy, Stephie and Brenda have finished their shopping and have put it in the car. They walk back to the Mall Cafe to have lunch. They buy a drink each and a pizza to share. Daisy is about to cut the pizza when Ruby and Selena arrive.
Ruby and Selena are invited to join them. Daisy starts reminiscing about her life before she married John Sunshine.
Daisy use to belong to an Ice Skating Club and performed in the end of year shows when she was a teenager.
Daisy also learnt ballet and danced on the stage in public performances.
Daisy recalls when she attended High School Selena knitted a dress and Daisy modeled it and Selena won an award for her knitting.
Selena interrupts to share that she has met a new shearer at Kowhai Tree Farm recently. She shows them his photo. The ladies gasp in surprise when Selena describes him as handsome and hopes to go out with him again! They want to know more but the time has moved on and it is time for Brenda, Stephie and Daisy to leave to pick up their children at the hall. They are going to ask the Hitty girls to babysit again!
The Hitty girls hear a car engine and look out the window very much relieved to see them return.Brenda, Daisy and Stephie arrive back at the hall at 2.55 pm. It has been a challenging experience for the Hitty girls to look after so many preschoolers at once. The mothers thank the Hitty girls and all go home happy.
Ed note; The Hitty girls didn't expect babies and toddlers from another town to arrive!
