The Adventures of Alastair-Boo, Gracie-Girl and Ewie-Boy

Hi Everyone, Its me, Gracie. Your favourite blogger-girl! We have had another busy week. On Saturday we finally got back to Little Athletics for the first time in ages. We have had so much on lately (mainly birthday parties) that we hadnt been for weeks. It was really great to get back there. I got my certificate for my 4 personal bests (PBs)that I got the last time I was there and I managed to get another 3 PBs on Saturday too. On Sunday we joined Alastairs friend Oscar's family for a walk through Toohey Forest. It was really hot and little Ewan took his scooter along. Tonight was Halloween and we dressed up and went out with friends of mine from around the corner. I was a witch and Alastair was Harry Potter (again). Ewan didn't get to go as he is in Warwick with mummy visiting Nana in hospital. Well that's it from me for now. We will be back with more next week. I have my big dancing show this weekend so hopefully we will have some pics to sho...

Hi Everyone, its Ewan here today. I just wanted to share with you a photo of Gracie's birthday cake. She turned 7 on Saturday. She is sooooo BIG! Anyway, we all sang happy birthday and I (as usual) put my fingers in my ears as I don't like loud things. There really isn't any other news because its been soooo wet that we haven't been able to do anything. Everything has been cancelled. Luckily it was brighter today and it was hot too. Bye for now.

Hi Everyone, Alistair here with an update on the week - and its only Sunday morning, so its not over yet. 2 big things happened this week. Firstly it was my 11th birthday but I wasn't at home for it because of the 2nd big thing to happen this week.... School Camp! I got some pretty cool things for my birthday this year including a new scooter, some football goals for the garden, some new running clothes and some $$$$! The plan is to go and play crazy golf with my friends today but its pouring down so we will probably just go to Skyzone or something instead. On Wednesday year 5 at school set off for Mapleton, a couple of hours north of Brisbane for 2 nights on camp. I got to share a cabin with my good friends Oscar and Caleb. Oscars sister Genevieve decided to photobomb our picture as we were about to leave. We didn't actually camp, we stayed in small cabins. We got to heaps of exciting activities such as canoeing and rope slides. We travelled in a bus. My little ...

Hi Folks. Its Alastair here today. Just wanted to give you a brief update on whats been going on this week. On Tuesday night we said goodbye to Granny as she flew back to Scotland. We have had a great 3 weeks with her here and cant wait for her to come again. Tuesday was also our first day back at school after the  2 weeks of holidays (Booooooo)! So it really is a case of being back to normal again here. This weekend I went for a run with Dad - its great that his knee seems to be better and he is back running again. Caley-Dog is really pleased about this too. On Sunday morning we were all dragged along to Ikea as Mum and Dad wanted to get some new dining chairs. They say that us kids have ruined all the ones we had but other than a few food stains  they looked fine for me. Ikea was exciting for the first 20 minutes but then we had to try and entertain ourselves. A bit of clambering on the shelves in the warehouse did the job. In the afternoon Dad and I wen...

Hi Everyone, Its Gracie-Girl here again today. We have had a busy old week. We have been doing all sorts of stuff with Granny such as learning to knit, walking through the woods, swimming (but not Granny) and crosswords. Its been a really hot week - up to 36 degrees so swimming has been good! We all crammed into the car and went to Warwick on Friday night. This is where Nana (our other Granny) lives. It was a tight squeeze in the car but we have a 7-seater so we are really quite lucky. We also took Caley-dog with us. There was a Volkswagen Beetle car display in Warwick on Saturday Morning which Dad, Ewie and I had a quick look at. Whilst we were there a lady from the local paper - the world famous Warwick Daily News took our photo and it was up on their website later that weekend.  Link to pic Here's a screenshot: Before I go I must show you this funny pic of Caley and dad in the back of the car. I am not sure who looks more scared? Bye for now. Gracie...
