2008-10-28 Daddy's Birthday, and so much more!

























Aiysha:
I was so excited about Daddy's birthday! His birthday was on a
Friday, and he went to work, but we did so much before he home! We
blew up balloons, got all his presents out, and made sure that his cake
was ready. We got Daddy's cake from Sugar and Spice in Joondalup, and it
was amazing! It had so much chocolate on it, and it was so yummy! We
then opened all his presents, and Cloggy helped too. All of them were
pretty funny, and the cards made him laugh, especially Auntie Lizzies!

We went to the Discovery Centre Aquarium, and it was really interesting!
Even Clogger loved it - she ran around looking at all the different fish
- she said fish so many times it was funny! Afterwards, we went to have
some lunch on some grass at Hillary's, and Daddy and I did hand stands,
and we also looked for crabs in the rocks - we saw one huge crab! On
Saturday night, we went to Leapfrog to play mini-golf and have some
pizzas! I chose to do that instead of going to the Royal Show. Mummy
said I could choose, and it didn't matter which one we did, but we could
not do both because of Clogger. I understood, and was so excited about
going to Leapfrog. I didn't win the golf, as I kept hitting it too hard,
and I loved the pizzas! They were the best!

On Sunday, Mummy was not too well, so Daddy took me and Clogger out to
Trigg. It was really funny. We went to the park for a while and played
tig with the ball - loads of other kids joined in, and one girl just
kept on throwing it really hard at Daddy. Clogger, Daddy and I then went
to the grass where we did some running races ready for my Interschool
Carnival. It was quite hard, and Daddy let me choose what races we did.
It was funny, as Clogger tried to race too, but she just isn't as fast
as me! We then walked up to get an ice cream, but the shop was shut, so
Daddy asked me if we should go to Karrinyup, or Hillarys - of course I
said Hillary's, silly boy. We went to the shop near the slides, and I
got a lolly, Cloggy got a tub which she ate herself, and Daddy had a
coffee. We then went on the beach, and played on the swings, and the
climbing frame.

I had my Interschool Carnival, and it was really exciting. Mummy, Daddy
and Clogger all came to watch me run. I was one of the first races. It
was a really close race, and I came second. I was a little disappointed,
but I know for next year I can run a lot faster. Mummy and Daddy were so
proud of me though, and we all said next year we will try even harder.
It was a fun day though, and I'm so glad that I took part. Martina also
came second in her race.

Joseph had his 7th birthday party and it was at Leapfrog! Wow, only a
couple of weeks after we went for Daddy's birthday! Nick came and picked
me up with Joseph, and we all went together. I had such a great time,
and we got back after dark, so that was exciting! I was the only girl
who went - I was so proud to have a friend like Joseph. He's a really
nice boy.

On Sunday, Lauren invited me to Joondalup Arena. It was so much fun. We
went round the river so many times, but it was pretty crowded on the
slide, and we only went on it a couple of times. I'm so lucky having a
friend like Lauren.

Mummy and Daddy bought a new pool cover, so that means our pool will be
even warmer! They are talking about getting a roller, as the new cover
is much heavier than the old one. I wonder what they will do? Oooooh,
exciting stuff!

My third tooth fell out this week, only a couple of weeks after my
second! It is from my bottom row at the front, and Mummy pulled it just
like the second. The tooth fairy floated my coins in a new vase - it
looked so nice I took it to news! The night before, Daddy almost lost it
by washing up the cup it was in! Luckily he found it in the sink - I was
a little upset, even though he said sorry a lot.

Edgewater Primary celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Friday, and it
rained so much! It seemed to clear up a little after the morning, but it
could have been a lot better if it was sunny. I did my assembly which
was fun, and we did special activities all day. When Daddy came home,
Mummy told him that Joseph was going to come with us when we went back
to the school in the evening, which was fine! We went straight away,
even though it was raining a little, and picked Joseph up. He is a funny
boy, and we had lots of fun. We looked in the classrooms which had
displays, we went to the assembly hall where there was a band, and we
went to the games room where we played computer games. Daddy took us to
the oval to eat our pizzas in the dark, which was so much fun, and we
also got some lolly bags too! It was really good fun, and we got back so
late!

Hannah came round to our house, and Mummy gave her the choice of what
she wanted to do, so she chose Hillary's. I didn't mind, even though I
really really wanted to go to Beaty Park. We had a nice time, but Hannah
did complain about a few things, and could not climb up the rope tower.
I tried to help Mummy a lot, as she struggled with looking after us and
carrying all our things. Hannah did not carry very much, and did not say
thank you when we dropped her off. I was a little sad for Mummy about
this. Mummy and Daddy asked me about how I felt, which I appreciated.
They let me make up my own mind about things, which makes me feel
special.

Clara: I love "TV" and watching Bob the Builder with my sister! It is my
favourite thing at the moment, and I get so upset when I cannot watch
it. I am learning to say so many words at the moment. Aiya is reading to
me so much, and has taught me to say lots of things! I am also sprinting
so fast now, and Aiya and I have races in the house. She is such a
lovely sister, and we laugh so much. She cheers me up in the morning
when I get up, and we are so cheeky before bed time, and when we play
Mummy Dog. I find I can walk down stairs pretty well now, and I also can
climb on the sofas so much easier now. I love watching Tom arrive and
cut our lawn, and he waves to me - he's a funny man.

C: Hmmmm, lovely pool cover! What a luxury!

S: Joseph really made me laugh at the 25th Anniversary - he and Aiysha
are great together, and are sooo considerate! He's a great friend! Touch
rugger has started!
