The End of the Rainbow

Tonight after school, we went to the land at the end of the rainbow.  Milla was looking for a pot of gold or a trip to fairy land, but what we found was even better - it was Windy Hill, the home of the Bombers.

We watched the Bombers do some training and then we did some of our own Auskick training but best of all we went to the Bombers Hall of Fame.

Do you think that I would be a great Bomber?

All Aboard

At school we are learning about all about different types of transport.  Today our class went on an excursion to Altona Miniature Railway to learn more about trains.

We looked at the different engines and what makes them work.  Normally the trains that I ride on to the city are electric, but the trains here run on petrol just like our car!  They even have a few trains that have steam engines but they weren't running today.  

We all went for rides on the miniature trains too.  It was fantastic.  

Now if only I can convince mum and dad to take me back to Altona on Sunday and I can ride the whole track!

Making Toys

AJ and I are making our own toys.  It isn't because we don't have enough toys (because mum says we already have 'far too many'), it is because we want to learn a new craft and sewing looks like fun.

I am making a crazy dog.  It came in a box with everything I would need, even a kid sewing needle.  I tried to sew the button eyes on the dog and then needle got stuck.  When mum tried to get it out she snapped the needle.  Now I have to finish the dog with a really sharp pointy grown up needle.

I hope I don't prick my fingers too many times.

Watermelon Olympics

This morning we had a special Olympic breakfast as we watched the replay of the Olympic opening ceremony.  We talked about all the different events that we would get to watch on TV and choose what events liked best.

I think that if there was a fruit eating Olympic event I would win it.

What would you win at the Olympics?

Playing with Food

Well we have been too busy to actually cook our own dinner lately.  We were so busy tonight that we had leftovers for dinner.  I love it when we have leftovers, we are allowed to play with our food.

I made a person with some of my vegies.

AJ made a castle with trees around it.

Do you like leftovers too?

Graffiti

Lately someone, or lots of different people, have been drawing pictures all around Kensington.  Now normally I like pictures but these ones aren't very interesting.  They are mainly just scribbles and writing and they aren't even done neatly.  I am only 4 and I can write and draw better than all this mess.  Apparently what they have been drawing is called 'tagging'.  I don't care what it is called, it looks horrible.

This is some of the writing on the statue in the middle of circle park.  I don't know what it says, but I think that it might be rude words about AJ. 

I wish people would stop being nasty and I hope they stop tagging in my park.

Sunday Morning

What do you do of a Sunday morning?  Often we stay in our pyjamas ALL morning and eat breakfast at least 6 times, but not today.  Today we decided to go to the zoo.

Now we do go to the zoo quite a lot, but so does most of Melbourne so I it is often really busy.  This morning the zoo was all ours.  Even though it was a beautiful sunny day we seemed to be the only people at the zoo.  Luckily the animals were all still there and they were really happy to see us, especially the Australian animals.

The kangaroos came up and said hello.  

(One even gave Milla's teddy a kiss!)

The emu strolled by.

Milla showed me a lizard peeking out from under the rocks.

Even the wombat came out for a play.

How did you enjoy your Sunday?
