Birthdays? Buses? Take a run and jump!


Hi Everyone, its Alastair here, the original blogger!

Another big week in our house to tell you all about.

Last weekend we had our Little Athletics carnival. We competed for the Mt Gravatt Little Athletics Team against clubs from the South-East Brisbane area. It was an all-day event starting at 7.30am. Gracie and I both did 5 events, from shot putt to long jump and relay races too. It was at the State Athletics stadium. We were pretty tired by the end of the day but its was good fun.



Here's Gracie nailing the long jump....


Here is my attempt...


And Gracie putting the shot....


Ewan had a big week this week too as he turned 3. This seems to the first birthday he has had where he has known whats coming and was REALLY excited about it. He got books, trucks, trains and much more. All his favourite things. He had a doubley exciting week as dad took him on a trip on the bus to the shops too. Ewan LOVES buses.



All in all another exciting week. Its not long til Christmas holidays now but we still have a lot going on between now and then.

Speak soon.

Alastair

Hi Everyone, Its all of us this time, Ally, Gracie and Ewan. Bonus!!!!!!!! We have all had such a big week that it takes all 3 of us to tell you about it. Alastair is going to start... This week I had my school music concert. I sang in the choir and I played a couple of songs as part of the senior strings group. I play the cello. Mum and Dad were so impressed with the cello playing - they said it was such a huge improvement on last year and sounded really good. Gracie is up next...... Hi All, I had my end of year dancing show this weekend. It was a huge day. I had to do 2 performances, one at lunchtime and one in the evening. I did 2 dances at each show, 1 jazz and 1 ballet. I dont have any pics of the show (we weren't allowed to take them during the show) but Dad did take one of me with my make up on. Alastair, Ewan, Daddy, Mum and mums cousin Anne all came to watch my concert. Hi Its Ewie here now. On Friday I went with daddy to get some more food for o

Granny, Jonny and Lisa arrived from the UK on Thursday and on Friday we all headed to North Stradbroke Island for a few days. Here are some pics of me swimming in the Broon Loch (Brown Lake) with daddy, dancing with uncle Jonny, screwing up my face at dodgy breakfast and emerging James Bond style from the ocean. Granny is going to be looking after me all next week while mummy and daddy are at work and Jonny and Lisa are off to Sydney for a few nights. Lots more fun planned before they all head off next wednesday.

Little Athletics

Hi All, There's a thing in Australia called Little Athletics. Its been around for years and years, in fact so long that even Mum used to take part in Little A's and she's ancient! Anyway, Gracie and I go to Mt Gravatt Little A's every Saturday. We get to take part in all sorts of athletics events such running, hurdles, shot putt, discuss, triple jump etc etc. As you get older you get to do more events. Gracie currently doesn't get to do triple jump or any running races further than 200m. When he is older Ewan will get to join too but the youngest group is under 6's. He has a while to wait. Anyway, last night we weren't at the usual sports field but were at the Queensland Athletics Stadium. It was only the warm up track but was pretty cool anyway. Ewan actually came with us and had a little go at long jump and running round the newly laid blue track. He loved it. It was very windy so pretty cold but he didnt seem to mind and soon had his socks
