2008-07-21 Boab, or Baobab?

Aiysha: On Sunday we watched a 750 year old Boab tree get planted in Kings Park. Daddy and Mummy argued about what the real name was, and it turns out they were both right! It was really nice at Kings Park, and we went on the board walk in the trees, and climbed rocks around the fountain. We also went to a cafe, and I shared my 2 twin poles with Rocker.

On Friday, I went to Hannah's for a sleepover, and it was so much fun. They picked my up in the morning, and we went ice skating in Fremantle. The weather was really bad, and some places in Perth got hail! I phoned Mummy and Daddy before I went to bed, which they really liked! I had so much fun, and can't wait to see her again. She is my best friend!

My school holidays have been really fun! I went to Dark Light laser last week with Emerald Park Daycare, and we also went bowling!

I love watching the Magic School Bus! It is my favourite at the moment, and so is Crash Bandicoot which I play with Daddy! Mummy just laughs at us when we play it.

Cloggy: I missed my Aiya on Friday night, but she was mine again on Saturday after her swim.

C: Finally trying to do something about how cold the house is! We covered the air conditioning vent on the roof, and closed all the vents in the house! Hope this works!
S: I can run past the Baobab when I'm at work! Lucky me...

2008-07-14 Rock Climbing!

Aiysha: This was my third time rock climbing, and I loved it! Not only because I love climbing, but also because Hannah Banana Geneve came too! We picked her up on Sunday at about 10, and then Mummy drove us all to The Hangout where Daddy had to organise over 50 people to do the climbing. Hannah had never done it before, but she did really well. While Daddy was organising people and getting a lesson, Hannah and I went to the small wall and practiced. We also played catchy, and Clogger joined in. We started off on easy wall, and also did a challenge where we only climbed on the black rocks. We then stopped for pizza, chips, and an ice cream, then we started to do harder climbs. When I couldn't reach a rock, I jumped up and held on with one arm. Daddy was very impressed! Hannah was trying really hard, and she did almost all the climbs. Mummy picked us up with Clogger at about 3, then we drove Hannah back to her Grandma's. We all then went to the nearest park, and we played tag with the ball, and Clogger joined in too! We had burgers for dinner to finish a brilliant day!

On Saturday, Mummy was not well, so Daddy took Clogger and I to his friend Mandy's wedding reception. We got a little lost around Matilda Bay, but got there in the end. It was a breakfast, so I had pancakes, and Daddy had a cooked breakfast with Clogger, who ate loads of egg. We then watched a video of their wedding which was at the Pinnacles, and it looked amazing. Clogger kept on running in front of the film, so I just picked her up and carried on playing with her. We left at about 11.30, stopped off to look at Jacobs Ladder, and went home. Daddy took us shopping in the afternoon, and I held Cloggers hand all the way round! Mummy and Daddy said I was so good, and gave me loads of smiley faces! We played a little Crash Bandicoot, which was funny!

Last week, I got the first certificate for Sharks, and I've only been in the group a few weeks! Now I get to go to the deep end and practice!

Clara: I loved playing on the mats! I also love seeing Hannah - she takes so much care of me.

C: We had our new sofa delivered on Thursday for our lounge, and it is amazing! We can finally relax in our lounge...even though it is a little cold...

S: Aiysha was so good over the whole weekend! Asking us if we need help with everything! Her climbing was amazing to watch, especially when she jumped to reach rocks out of her reach!

2008-07-09 I am Sixy!

Aiysha: I had such a wonderful birthday weekend, and I felt sooo special! I was so excited on Friday night because I received lots of presents in the post from around the world! Thank you all so much!

Even though it was my birthday, I still had to go to my swimming lesson, but I didn't mind. Kat, the head instructor, says I'm doing so well, so that makes me happy! After swimming, I went straight home to get ready for my party at Jungle Gym! Hannah arrived about an hour before, and we went outside to play with Saran and Ellis. We all got in the car then, and drove to Jungle Gym, with all my special birthday food in the boot. When we got there, there was a lesson going on, and so we watched as they did some amazing trampolining to music. I wish I could do that. I felt so special when my party did start, as I was at the front the whole time! We were taken around all the equipment, and then we were allowed to do what we liked. I loved ringing the bell at the top of the big rope, and also seeing myself on video. The people who came to my party were Lauren, Kayla, Jack, Joseph, Jason, Martina, Tiana, Hannah Banana, Hannah Morrow, Tristan, Maddie, Baillie, Callum, and Charlie. We had all the food in a room downstairs, and it was lovely! We had crisps, sausage rolls, cakes, ice cream and strawberries, which Callum ate!

After my party I went to Martina's for a play, which was funny! When I came back, Mummy and Daddy decided to go out to dinner at Fratelli's, which was lovely! I had fish and chips, and Mummy and Daddy had pasta. I was very tired after such an exciting day!

On Sunday, I opened my presents from my friends. Clara's favourite present was a pig which sang a song, but I loved everything. I got light fountains, pens, games, make up boxes, angel making kits - just so much!

We went on a bike ride to whitfords in the afternoon, and we played in the park, walked to the coast, and did running races. It was funny!
Clara: I can't wait until I am six!

C: I cannot believe Aiysha is 6 already!

S: I cannot believe Aiysha is 6 already!

2008-06-23 Hannah Banana On Ice!

Aiysha: I saw Hannah Banana this weekend! It was fantastic! I was so happy to see her, and it was if we were still in the same class! We got on really well!

On Friday night, I had my second assessment at High Flyers, and I passed well. I could not understand how some of the other passed too, as they couldn't climb up the rope like I did.

On Saturday I did my swim, and Clogger was really well behaved! After my swim, I got ready for Tiana party at Wild Kids! I was so excited. Lauren came round at 10, and we got ready together. Mummy dropped me off and left me, as I am such a big girl now! I had a great time, and sat next to the birthday girl when we had our lunch! I was so tired afterwards when I came home with Lauren's Mum.

Sunday we went Ice Skating! We made a picnic, and picked Hannah up at 11am - it was so funny seeing her again! We drove down to Fremantle, and we talked all the way down. We went to the park, and ate our picnic. Mummy made some lovely cakes too for us. We then went to Cockburn Ice Arena, and it was so crowded. Daddy had to organise people, but we got our skates in the end, and it was excellent! It was Hannah's first time, and she did really well. I am getting faster and faster.

Only one week until my birthday! Yippee!

Clara: Cold, wet, miserable. Me no like, but I like the fly flaps!

C: Too crowded for me, and I didn't get to go on the ice! Boo!

S: Little Creatures - so near, but yet so far...
