2011-07-23 School Holidays and Bike Rider!

Aiysha: I love school holidays! I get to watch TV in the mornings, get to do lots of fun things like play Monopoly and games with my sister, and Mummy takes us on trips everywhere!

The holidays started cold, so we went to a reptile park where Roxy held a snake - she was so brave. I didn't want to at all, which is strange because I use to love it. A bit scared now.

On Tuesday we decided to spoil ourselves and go to Hillaries for ice cream and trampolining! We sent Daddy some pictures, and he was ver jealous!

On Wednesday we went to see Clara's friend Matilda, and in the afternoon a game on Monopoly which Mummy was winning, but she had street repairs on all her hotels, so she was broke! funny!

We went to Grill'd burgers when we met Daddy for lunch near his work - they were lovely, and it a funny lunch! Mummy also got us a game called Jenga, where we build up a tower of bricks and if we pull out a brick and the tower falls down, that person loses! It is 1-1 between me and Daddy!

We had a very exciting netball game today - we lost, but I loved it because I played in my favourite position at Centre, and in the last quarter completely marked out their best player! It was so fun, even though we lost.

Joseph came round and we dressed up like crazy! I also went ice skating with Lauren, which was so much fun!

We also went to Penny's 40th Party with the grown-ups, and we stayed up until 1am! Wow! We were very tired the next day, but we had a great time with Will, Charlie and Flourie!

Clara: I love scary stuff! I loved holding the snake - just like my snakey at home, but just a little smaller.

This holiday I learned how to bike ride! Mummy got me started on the grass, and when I could do that, Daddy helped me on the concrete, and today I managed to do it all on my own AND turn right around! I was so proud!

Daddy started telling me Charlie Chicken stories - they are funny!

We went roller skating with Lauren - it was so much fun!

C: Brrrrr! Cold!

S: Monopoly is a great game, especially when I win. Don't like losing at Jenga.

2011-07-11 12th Anniversary! Scooters!

Aiysha: Mummy and Daddy have been married 12 years! That's ages before I was born! We had sucha funny day. It was cold and wet outside, so we decided to finish our game of Monopoly - it took all morning! Daddy won eventually, and Roxy did really well, but I just kept on getting myself into trouble. Daddy was pretty nice to us both though by giving us free stuff and money. In the afternoon, we had a movie afternoon, and then we went out to Hippo Creek African Grill restaurant, and it was lovely! Mummy and Daddy both had a steak. It was still very windy and cold though.

Netball was cancelled as the other team pulled out - I was very disappointed. Me and roxy played while Mummy and Daddy did eBay stuff, and then in the afternoon I had gym - the last one for two weeks.

We got my report, which was really good. Mummy and Daddy sat with me to go through it, and my test book, and they were very proud. I really enjoyed this term, but really need a nice break.

Mummy bought Roxy and I 2 new scooters! They are brilliant!

Roxy: Monopoly is my favourite game at the moment - I love the pink notes!

I love my new scooter! Daddy took me and Aishie down to Emerald Park with our scooters, and we also did some netball and running races! It was great fun!

Claire Bossett came round to play too, which I love - she is funny!

C: Happy anniversary!

S: Happy anniversary!

2011-07-06 Bells Rapids

Aiysha: I love playing netball! Last weekend I was rotated to GS and GA, and teamed up with Josie. We played a Division 1 team, and we beat them 14-8. They had some really tall girls playing, and they scored quite a few, but our passing was excellent, and we managed to get into some great positions in their half. I shot some great shots from quite far away, and I got a new trick - I aim for the rim, hit it, and take a step close so I get a better shot! Daddy thought that was very clever! I prefered GA so I could move around the court a lot more. Next week I am playing C, so that should be great fun! It really rained the night before, but luckily it was clear for our game.

I was the only girl to turn up to cross country this week. Mummy and Daddy were proud, and I was also chosen to be in the team!

Clara: I love climbing on all the rocks at Bells Rapids! We watched all the boats go down the river, and spent ages on the swing! We even did a walk up the hill, and waited for a train to come by, but no luck. We had a lovely picnic and stayed for ages. When we got home, Aiysha and Mummy taught me how to play Monopoly, which was so much fun! I can't wait to play it for real.

C: It's getting really cold! Down to 4 degrees! Lucky we have our fire, our gas fire and our electric blanket!

S: Aiysha was so clever in netball with the rim shot - very impressed! Well done Aiyshie!
