Fishing Fun

Can you believe that I have been living just up the road from the lake all year and it has taken me until now to actually go fishing!

Building my Fishing Rod

Learning from the expert!

Filling in time, waiting for the fish to bite!

It was worth the wait just to go fishing with Poppy, even if I didn't catch any fish.

Thanks for taking me fishing Poppy.

Cutting School

Can you believe it, my mum convinced me to wag school!  I really thought that mum would be much more responsible than that, especially when she knows that I love school and have already missed too much school.  I guess that this was a special occasion, or at least that is what mum said.  You see, Nanny came down for a quick visit today and asked if we wanted to catch the train back to Yarrawonga to surprise Poppy.  I couldn't decide;  I really didn't want to miss out on school, but I thought that it would be great to see the look of surprise on Poppy's face when he picks Nan up.  AJ had already packing so I decided that missing one day of school would probably be OK!

I really wish I had a camera with me to show you the look of surprise on Poppy's face - it was worth it!

Visiting Billy

Look who came to Melbourne to see Billy Elliot today.  

Nanny was there too, and Nanny Bette, Danielle, Chicky and heaps of other people that we knew.  We all had lunch together before they had to go into the show.  It was great seeing you all. 

Hopefully next time you are in town to see a show, we can go to the show too!

We're Back

After a fantastic time in Yarrawonga, we are back in the back in the big smoke.  

Apparently we are too little to go on the train by ourselves so Nan and Pop came back to Melbourne with us on the train.  Mum met us at Southern Cross Station and we all had an early dinner together before we went home.

Instead of coming back to our house for a holiday, Nan and Pop went back to Yarrawonga for a rest!  Thanks for a great holiday Nan and Pop

Poppy's Present

To get back in to Poppy's good books, we gave him the best birthday presents in the world - tickets to the races at Bathurst!

And to think that Poppy was happy just getting the cool painting I did for him!

I can't wait - I get to go to the races too.

Surprise

Well Poppy survived his birthday party. We think he guessed that we were trying to trick him when we decided to go out for dinner instead of having a barbeque like we normally would.

When he got over being annoyed at everyone celebrating his birthday, Poppy had a great time at his party. There were millions of people there, and not only grownups - there were lots of kids too. We spent all night playing with our cousins. It was great fun.

Happy birthday Poppy,
Love AJ and Milla

Feeling Blue

AJ painted a really cool picture to give to Poppy for his 60th birthday. I decided that I would paint him a picture too.

What was mum thinking, letting me loose with paints, especially oil paints, on Friday the 13th.

Silly mama,

Shhhh...It's a Secret!

It is Poppy's 60th birthday soon and we are going to have a surprise party for him. He won't be very happy. Unlike me, he doesn't really like being the centre of attention. It is probably a good thing that our internet doesn't work properly at the moment and I can't upload my blog posts until it is fixed.

Anyway, I have decided to paint a special picture for Poppy.

Do you think that he will like it?
It is of Poppy sitting at the races at Bathurst, watching Skaifey win.

Poppy's Chocolate

Poppy and Nanny came back to visit us tonight. Do you know what that means? Well of course it means lots of cuddles and being spoilt rotten, but more importantly...

Poppy let us eat his extra special Easter Car!

Yum, I love chocolate, especially if it is Skaifey chocolate.
Love AJ Pickle

OOPS

Look what Poppy left at our house!

It is the giant HSV easter car that we gave him.

Do you think that we should eat it for him? Perhaps we should wait until Poppy comes back to visit in 2 weeks.

Poppy's New Toy

Well we are back from our holiday and we are all really tired. Dad has had to go to Sydney for the week and mum is a little bit sick with a sore puku, so Nanny and Poppy have come to have a holiday with us.

When we were in New Zealand, Poppy bought a new toy.

I think that the real reason that Nan and Poppy came to visit was so Poppy could show me his new toy! I love Poppy's new car - I hope that one day I will have a new car just like this!

Go Holden!

Water Everywhere

After a long morning of sitting, almost quietly, in the waiting room at the hospital as poppy had photos taken of his head, AJ and I wanted to go exploring outside. We took poppy to his next doctors appointment and we went to visit the Fitzroy Gardens instead.

After running around and climbing through all the fountains and streams that had no water in them, we decided to have a quiet stroll through the conservatory.

We picked the best time ever to explore the conservatory - they had just watered all the plants that were hanging from the roof.

Mum and Ellen didn't want to get wet, but AJ and I had a shower under the pot plants!

Poppy still had more appointments and we were too worried to keep still, so we kept exploring.

Finally, after he finished all of his appointments, poppy came home to tell us that his ears were going to get better soon and he would be able to hear everything we say. He told us that his ears weren't really broken there was just too much watery stuff that stopped him from hearing things.

I wonder if poppy had too many showers under pot plants?
