2006-11-28 Fireworks!

A: Last weekend was really hot! We did lots of jobs on Saturday in preparation for all our guests on Sunday - we went to Wanaroo market to get veggies and fruit, especially mangos, then went to Woodvale to do the rest of the shopping. We then went home for some lunch and we ended up doing lots of jobs in the afternoon for our guests, and for Uncle Dave. We decided to go out for dinner as we were all very tired, and so Mummy and Daddy drove down the coast to about 4 different restaurants, and they were all full! We saw a sign for fireworks at Hillary's, so that must be the reason. I asked Mummy and Daddy if I could see the fireworks, and they said it was quite late - 8pm, which is a lot past my bedtime!

We finally found a table at the Wild Fig, which is just north of the Bennion, and Mummy had the most beautiful steak! Daddy had lamb, but kept on stealing Mummy's steak! Cheeky boy! And just when we walked out of the restaurant, the fireworks started! We watched them from the top of the walkway outside the restaurant, and it looked amazing! I was so happy!

I fell asleep on the way home, so I missed brushing my teeth! YEAH!

On Sunday, Daddy had a little lie in, but he had a big headache, so after doing a few jobs before our guests arrived, we decided to dive in the pool! It was so funny, and it seemed like our party had started before our guests had even arrived! Daddy felt much better after his swim, and I jumped on him lots of times!

Jeremy arrived with Josh, and then Claire, Paul, Jemma, Brendan and their new baby arrived! I took all the kids into the games room while the grown ups did boring things like talk, and then Daddy put the BBQ on. They loved the salad, and the chicken wings, and adored the desserts Mummy made! We then all went into the pool, and had the best time ever! We threw balls around, jumped in and out of the boat, and played with the whale. Daddy, Jeremy and Paul decided to pick us up one by one, and throw us as far as they could into the pool, and that was so funny - I curled up into the smallest ball, and went so far!

I was upset to see them go, but we had such a great time.

Daddy went to touch rugby while I stayed with Mummy.

C: We could see the Wanaroo fireworks from our balcony for 2 nights - amazing! What a view! Our first party was such a success - and hope to have many more!

S: Injured again...this time the knee...boo! Had a wonderful party though!

Uncle Dave arrived today, and can't wait to see Aiysha! She definitely cannot wait to see him!

Favourite Babies: Lamb Choppy

Meals: Raspberry and Chocolate. Apple Pie, BBQ, Chicken Wings, Mangos

2006-11-16 I Finally Like Mangos!

A: Mummy had a Funday for her work, and I had a great time! I got my face painted, climbed a climbing wall, and entered an egg and spoon race, where I thought the idea was to keep the egg on the spoon, and not run the fastest - I came last, only because I was so careful! We had lots of sausage sizzle, and sweeties!

Last weekend was the weekend I finally liked mangos! Mummy and Daddy bought a huge crate of ripe mangos this weekend from Wannaroo markets, and we've been eating them all week! I love them! There was also a fish market there - not as good as the one in Innaloo, but it is our closest, and we can get pink snapper!

Once again, we went for Dim Sum, which was really nice again - I had duck and chicken!

We went for the first time to a Swap Mart, which is exactly like an English car boot sale - we still don't know why it is called a swap mart! Mummy enjoyed it very much, and got a couple of tables.

I did some practice on my bike this weekend with Daddy. Also, when I was on the climbing frame, I climbed up the firemans pole, and this older boy shouted 'Hey, thats easy!'. I said no it's not. So he tried it, and could not get up the pole! Tee hee.

Daddy came on Tuesday to be a Parent helper at Kindy - probably the last one he will do before my new school, and it was fun! Mummy dropped us off, and we went to the big park to play. When we went in, I did a christmas puzzle with Daddy, then he was sent to work in the kitchen by Mrs Naz and Mrs Thornett. I was hoping Daddy was going to make the smiley faces again. After Daddy was introduced to everyone, I went to play, but came in especially to give Daddy a kiss and check up on his fruit cutting. He didn't like taking the seeds out of the watermelon Mummy gave us this morning! After the fruit, he came and played with us - chase, hide and seek, and carrying! My friend Emma was upset, and missing her mum, so Daddy cheered her up by chasing her. I then rang the bell to tidy up, and we all went to see Dingle and Dangle, the scarecrows looking after our plants. We actually made one of them at Kindy! We were growing Zucchinnis in bikinis, lettuce and beetroot. Once we did that, we went inside, and I had to choose 2 people to do play-doh with me and Daddy - I chose Hannah of course, and Emma because I thought she was a little sad today - Daddy was very proud of me! We make pancakes and hotdogs, and then I went to the drawing table and drew a picture of myself witha rainbow skirt.

Today, Hannah came to our house, and we went in the pool! We have put a cover over it to keep it warm, and it was! We had such fun with the whale, and Hannah and I kept falling off! It was so funny!

C: The mangos were amazing!

S: The mangos were amazing! Aiysha is growing up very quickly - beware of anyone trying to outsmart her verbally. When talking about why she had 2 tantrums, quote: "You two guys can talk about it, but I'm not going to listen"

Favourite Baby: Zella, Winnie the pooh, Lamb Choppy (Hannah's Baby she lent me until her birthday)

Meals: Mangos, Mousakka, Dim Sum, Schnitzel
