Birthdays, Ballet and Bus Drivers

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 brother Ewan is obsessed with buses so he was so excited. He got to sit in the drivers seat which was just the coolest thing ever for him!

The other thing which happened this week is that Gracie got her pre-dancing show photos taken so she had to get all dressed up as if she was actually taking part in the show. She looked really funny with make-up etc on.

That's you guys all updated, oh except that tomorrow is a pupil-free day at school so its a day off - woo-hoo!

Bye for now.

Alastair

Fathers Day and Running FAST!

Hey everyone - its Gracie here. Just a quick post to give you update of the last few days. Sunday was pretty exciting....It was Fathers Day here in Oz. Daddy was sooooo lucky. We got him all sorts of exciting gifts like socks and key-rings and chocolates and we all had pancakes for breakfast! In the afternoon we all went to Wellington Point beach for a walk and had ice cream. Life really doesn't get any better! I think Daddy was particularly pleased with this fathers day as he needed cheering up. He's been really grumpy recently as he is unable to run. He has a knee injury apparently so is having a few weeks off to recover. We all cant wait for him to start running again so we can get some peace! Its a normal school week this week (boooooooo) but today we had cross-country running. I came 12th and I am going to leave Alastair to tell you about his race...... Hi, Ally-Boo here. Yes, I had my cross country running race today too. I have been doing a fair bit of runni...

Ok, so we have been waiting for exactly one year and finally it arrived....... MY THIRD BIRTHDAY! Mum and dad say no more terrible two's and I have to get rid of the bottles - more on that in another post. So I had a party yesterday with my friends and we all ate cake etc. You can me and Xavier working out how best to attack the cake with my new pliers in one picture. You can also see just how excited I got whilst opening my pressies. I got a whole lot of farm animals but I didnt really know why until later in the day when Mum and dad got out a present that granny had bought for me.... A FARM YARD. Today my friends Carter and Xavier came round to play again which was great. At gym class everyone sang happy birthday to me. I am about to put another post from todays activities featuring all the news of the diposal of the bottles festival! Bye, Boo.

Here we go again...

Hi Everyone, Its Ewan today, just giving you a quick update on life here in sunny Brisbane. Last week we went to the beach on the Gold Coast with Mummy for a few days whilst Daddy had to go to work. It was a bit windy some days but we still managed to have a great time. Our cousins were there for the week so we thought it would be nice to go for a few days too. The summer holidays have officially finished this week and its back to school for Alastair and Gracie and I have started at a new Kindy out at Mummy's work at the University. I told her I was pretty smart but still perhaps a little young to go to Uni just yet. Here are some pics of us just before we all left on Monday. Alastair and Daddy have been doing a lot of running recently. They do Parkrun every week, which is a 5km race. Alastair has been doing really well. He has won his age group (11-14) for the past 2 weeks and he is only 11!!!!!! He also got a personal best time last week by nearly 2 minutes s...
