Its the weekend - woo-hoo


When Granny and Granpa came to visit me in March this year Granny and I spent a considerable amount of time (and effort) in the garden removing all the weeds and generally making the place look nice. Since she went back home the garden has deteriorated badly due to my lack of care despite me promising Granny that I would look after it. So with only 6 weeks until her next visit I reckoned it was time I got back out there and made it look as if I have been putting in the hours since she left. Being the weekend I even managed to drag Dad off the couch and out into the garden too.

As a reward for doing so much work in the garden Dad took me to the park. I went on the swings and had a go on the slide. Only girls go down the slide so I decided it was far more manly to try and go UP the slide.

Fathers Day and Running FAST!

Image
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...

news update for this week

Hello, Now I have no idea why the blog machine has put the pictures in this order as it is not what I asked it to do so you'll have to work around the pictures with commentary. Lately I have been "helping" dad remove the wallpaper from the walls of the new house. I think I am actually really good at this and may pursue this as a career. It will be a lot better when I grow a bit and can reach the bits at the top of the walls. Yesterday we went to Redcliffe to see Ann, Peter and cook and book as daddy calls them. We went swimming in the sea and at their pool and mummy managed to get herself burnt. I was fine - as you can see I had my french foreign legion hat on. I have recently moved from the cot into the big boys bed and so we had the ceremonial throwing out of the cot mattress this week - I could resist one more lie down on it though - just for old times sake. The most exciting news is that we have booked our flights to scotland for may next year. Daddy tells me it wil...

Happy New Year to one and all.

Hello everybody and Happy New Year to you all. We have recently returned from our epic trip up north to Townsville where Mummys sister and family live. It took 2 full days to drive there and daddy cannot understand how you can drive for a solid 2 days and still be in the same State you were in when you started (i.e. Queensland). We camped one night at the town of 1770 which is apprently the first place that Captain Cook came ashore in Queensland. That night we went hunting for crabs and we found hundreds of them but one bit my foot. When we got to Townsville it rained - A LOT. In fact new years eve was the wettest ever 24 hours in Townsville since records began. So me and my cousin Kate did a bit of singing and also went bowling which was good fun. We also went to the North Qld museum which was brill and I managed to get mummys head on a platter. Anyway, I will try and get a video on here for you soon so you can hear my wonderful singing. Bye for now Boo
