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

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...

Hi Everyone, its Ewan here today. I thought it was about time we caught up on our news. It has been a bit busy over the past few weeks. We spent Christmas in Warwick. It was really hot but it was good to see Nana. The most important thing (and what i was most worried about) was that Santa managed to find us there. Luckily Gracie wrote to him specifically to tell him that we'd be there, and NOT at home this year. WE left him out some beer, caramel shortbread and a carrot for the reindeer, which they all seemed to appreciate. We got lots of exciting presents for Christmas but the biggest one was a giant inflatable water slide. We have played on it every day since Christmas because its been soooo hot. Mum and dad are terrified every time we got on it because they are sure there will be injuries. 3 crazy kids out of control on a bouncy water slide.... what could possibly go wrong? Between Christmas and new year we all went to the railway museum in Ipswich. I LOVE tra...

Hi Everyone, its Alastair here again today. There's been a slight delay in getting this blog post done as we couldn't get on to the website for some reason. Anyway, all seems sorted now, thank goodness, cause there's so much to tell you. Firstly.... WE WENT TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE ASHES!!!!!! So exciting. It was all very last minute, we didn't even try to buy tickets until the morning of the game but we got great seats at the Gabba. I was supporting Australia. It was good but very different to the cricket I am used to which is the BIG BASH! Its sooooo much slower and they don't play in the rain too! Mum and Gracie went to Townsville this weekend to see Susan and Family. That just left the boys at home to fend for themselves. On Saturday Dad, Ewie and I all went for a short run to get the paper with Caley-dog. Ewan was in the pram and he loved it. I did a bit of the pushing, which was better than having to run with Caley as she is just trouble when she ...

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 lo...

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...

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.
