Aiysha: This morning I heard the junk collection men, so I ran outside to watch. When they started on our pile, I got Roxy up, and we watched them together - it was so much fun! Grandpa Arthur would be so proud of us! I also think he would have been outside first.
I am so excited as I have 2 visitors coming very soon! Lauren is coming for a sleepover, her first with a school friend, this Saturday! We're going to have so much fun, and we are going to have pizzas too! After that, Uncle Dave is coming for 2 weeks, which is going to be really funny.
Our pool is just about the right temperature now. We've been in it a few times, but now it is beginning to be comfortable, so Roxy and I are so excited!
We have tried to go strawberry picking the last few weeks, but they have either been closed, or they have not had any left since they left only a small patch for us to pick in. We were so disappointed! Next time we have to go a bit earlier in the day.
A couple of weekends ago we went to Mandurah for Saturday night, and it was so much fun! We could actually walk to a beach from our cabin, and we did that twice. It was a cool beach as the waves were really big, and we played poison waves. Roxy was pretty quick too, but got caught a couple of times. We hired a speedboat to go around the canals, and Daddy let me drive for a while, which was really hard. We saw some nice houses, and at one point, we almost got stuck on some sand in the middle of the river, which was a bit scary. We didn't see any dolphins, but it was great fun. We also saw some amazing living rocks just in the river - these are rocks with things growing on them, and they are alive! They look like huge pillows under the water!
However, we did see some on Daddy's birthday down near Rockingham. The boat took us out to Penguin Island, and from there we went out to find the dolphins. It was amazing, as we saw baby dolphins too, which were so cute! We stayed for some lunch too - fish and chips of course. After that we headed home to have some cake that Mummy and I got from Sugar and Spice - it was an amazing chocolate cake. Daddy had such a fun birthday, and me and Roxy made him some lovely gifts.
I had my Inter-school carnival, and I won my race! Even though I was running 2nd division, I was really proud. Next year I will be running first division again I think!
Halloween was great fun. Even though Callum did not come with us, and Lauren was so disappointed not coming as she was ill, Danielle and Tiana still came round, and we were joined by Lauren and Ash from next door, and Luke rode on his bike. Oh, and of course Clogger cam round with us. We got loads of sweets! I ate so many that I got a rash, so Mummy thinks. What a shame.
We went to the Royal Show for the first time since we have been in Perth. We didn't know what to expect, and we arrived just after lunch. We managed to see the motorcyclists doing their jumps, and I got a chance to go on the bungee trampolines - I actually did double summersaults, which were so funny, and no one else did them. We had sweet corn and hot dogs for dinner, which was nice, and we spent a long time laughing at the names of different types of cats in the cat show. The last thing we did was watch a log chopping competition, which was amazing. We've never seen anything like that before, and it was very exciting!
One day we also went to Bells Rapids - it was funny because we went for a little walk and we found a big rope swing, and I swung so high that Mummy got scared!
Finally, I dressed up as an Egyptian for my class assembly! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for my outfit!
Clara: Come on Uncle Dave, hurry up! Guess what? We saw dolphins of Daddys birthday!
C: I am finding it really hard to relax now that I have nothing to do! Jobs jobs jobs! I did dip in the pool though...
S: The perfect birthday! I loved it! State Championships are coming up soon, but I've pulled my hammy...not bad though...
