Santa for a Day

If you see any (wanna be) Santas wandering around the city today, you should stop and say hi to them. One of them might even be my dad.

Santa for a Dad

See dad wore a Santa suit to work today for Santa for a Day, to raise money for Transplant Australia.

We all think it is really important to talk about about organ transplant with your family and friends. We know it is a pretty scary topic and that no one really wants to talk about what might happen after you die but we think that if we aren't able to use something any more then someone who needs it more should be given that opportunity.  It is kind of like cleaning out your toy box and finding all of the toys that you don't need any more and donating them to someone who needs them.  It is better that they are used than sitting in a box, until they are no good to anyone.

So there you go, organ donation is just like cleaning out your toys, make sure that they go to a good home when you can't use them any more, someone will love them just as much as you!

PS - oops we forgot to press publish on this post so we have slipped it in where it should be!

Sunday in my City #2 - Working Hard?

We are joining in with Unknown Mami and Sunday in our City again but instead of showing what we did  today, because we didn't do anything cool, we will show you where mum was today.  She forgot to take photos today but she was there on Friday and took a few photos  to rub in how much fun she was having show us where she was 'working'.

Not only did she get to spend the day at the beach...

She got to ride a horse, through the bush and along the beach!

Now surely this can't reconsidered work!

I guess since she was at work on a day that was really still part of her holidays, and again today on the weekend, it is only fair that she get to do something fun.  So there you have it, Sunday in our City, well kinda near our city.  Hopefully mum will take us horse riding along the beach some time too!

If you want to join in the fun of Sundays in my City, it doesn't have to be a Sunday or even in a city, click on over to Unknown Mami.

Party Time

It must be nearly Christmas, do you want to know how I know? It is because I went to a Christmas party today. It was mum's work Christmas party and we were all invited to a Christmas Spectacular.

There were so many things to see and do that we were kept really busy all day long. First there were the rides to go on. I didn't want to go on all the mechanical rides but Milla wanted to. Luckily she made a new friend and they went on all the rides together. I think her favourite ride must have been the Cha Cha because she went on it at least 6 times!

She wasn't tall enough to go on the hurricane so she convinced mum to ride with her. Dad rode with Milla's friend because she wasn't tall enough either. I was the smart one, I stayed on the ground and took photos. I think dad wishes that he stayed on the ground too!

Although I didn't go on the mechanical rides there was still heaps of cool things to do, like mini-golf, a space simulator, a fun factory, an animal farm and bungy trampolines.

After lunch we even had a visit from a guy in a red suit who gave all the good kids a present. Actually I think he even gave some not-so-good kids presents too!

By far the best part of the day was making friends with the reptiles, it was totally awesome. I might even see if I have enough pocket money saved to get my own snake!

If the Christmas Spectacular is anything to go by, this Christmas is going to be awesome!

Cleaning Up

Mum had to work again today, so we decided to help out.  You see mum was working at Clean Up Australia Day in Flemington.  

We registered, collected some gloves and some rubbish bags and went exploring along the creek.  We weren't there very long and we managed to fill three giants bags with rubbish.  

It makes me sad to think how much mess people make when they don't put their rubbish in the bin.  I am glad that we were able to help Clean Up Australia.

Wagging

Mum made me wag kinder today.  I really didn't mind though, she took me to work with her and then we went to the Safari Zoo!

Of course my favourite part of the zoo was climbing the trees!

My mum rocks, who else gets to do cool things when they wag?

Shhhh, don't tell AJ!

Goal

We all went to the footy tonight.  Most people would think that that was pretty normal, but we went to the St Kilda and Hawthorn match and nobody in our family likes those teams!  Our family footy teams are Essendon, Bulldogs, Collingwood and the Kangaroos.

Do you know why we went to see such a strange match?  

It was because my mum and some of her friends were umpiring one of the half time Auskick matches.  How cool is that!  I hope that my mum can umpire when I get to play Auskick at Telstra Dome.

On Holidays

We are still on holidays in Yarrawonga with nan and pop.  Poor mum and dad have to go to work everyday.  

Look at the conditions mum had to work in today!

We hope that it won't be that cold when we get home tomorrow,

Love AJ and Milla

Work?

Mum had to work today, so I went to dad's work.  I don't know if you can really call it work, it is more like being on holidays.

There was a computer game to play

 

and a giant blackboard to draw on.

After seeing dad at 'work', I thought that perhaps mum worked harder, that was until I saw photos of mum at 'work' on Wednesday.

Surely rock climbing isn't work!

Kinder is great, but I think being a grown-up will be fun,
