A Quiet Weekend

It has been a quiet weekend for us. It has been the first weekend in about a million years that we didn't have a kid party to go to or any place to be in a hurry. We decided to go in to Waterfront City for a look around and to buy birthday presents for the parties that are coming up.

Of course you can't have a trip to Waterfront City without a ride on the Carousel.

I pretended that I wasn't interested in having a ride but really I was secretly happy, I just tried really hard not to smile!

I love visiting Waterfront City, especially when we stop for ice cream.

At the River

No trip to Nanny and Poppy's house is complete without a trip to the lake. Now this is what the lake normally looks like...

but look at it now!

The lake is dry so we could walk all the way to the river, it was awesome. I love playing at the lake.

Playing With Dolls

Now everyone who knows my mum that she loves her Barbie dolls so you can imagine just how surprised I was when I asked if I could play with her Barbie dolls she said yes. We were in Yarrawonga at Nanny and Poppy's house for the weekend and mum has billions of dolls in her bedroom there and she went and got me a few dolls to play with. She handed them over and then she went back and got some more dolls for me to play with, then more and more.

Next thing I knew I was surrounded by Barbie dolls everywhere. I was so excited, it was like I was in a toy shop, then mum told me that I was allowed to play with the dolls - but I wasn't allowed to take them out of the boxes! Can you believe that? Play with the dolls but not take them out of the boxes. I thought that I was going to be tortured by the thought of so much fun that I couldn't have, then I thought of a way to 'play' with the dolls.

Look mum - playing with Barbie dolls, even if they are still in their boxes, is great fun!

To Market to Market

I love going to the Flemington Market; I can hang out with friends, eat yummy food, find great things to buy but best of all I can play at the pond on the way home.

There are rock bridges to build.

Relaxing to be done.

And of course, swans to be fed.

I love walking to the market.

Football Stars?

For the last few months mum and AJ have been dragging me along to Auskick. I really don't like football, but mum and AJ seem to like it. Luckily I am happy to go along and visit my friends there. This week at Auskick we found out that if our parents wanted to take us in to Etihad Stadium we could play in the half time Auskick games out on the ground. Naturally AJ thought it was the coolest thing ever. I didn't really want to go but decided that since the Bombers were going to play the Bulldogs it might be fun.

Well can you believe it, mum somehow convinced me to take my footy boots into the stadium, just in case there weren't enough players. Humph - they were a player short and I was convinced to play, providing I didn't have to do anything except for go out on to the field, I didn't actually want to have to play football.

Even though I wasn't 'playing' football, it was still exciting being down in the dressing rooms listening to the roar of the crowd up in the stands watching the real game. By the time we walked around to the other side of the ground and lined up in the race ready to go out onto the field I was feeling a bit nervous.

I played on the red team with my Auskick friends and AJ played on the black team with his friend Tiger.

Finally it was half time in the game and it was time for us to run out onto the field to play our game. AJ was great, he got a kick right after the game started and even kicked a point.

AJ had just kicked a point in this photo, that is him on the right.

Our team wasn't very good, but we were all having fun running around on the ground. All of a sudden our team got a free kick and the umpire tried to get me to take the kick.

I really didn't like the thought of taking a free kick and I got scared and started to cry. Instead of taking my kick I ran off the field and ran over to mum.

Later on in the game there was another free kick for our team and it was just in front of where I was. Even though I wasn't really paying the game I decided that I might as well have a kick.

I did an awesome kick and guess what happened? AJ marked it. He did the greatest kick and kicked a goal from the middle of the ground, it was awesome!

I may not have actually played football and my team lost, but I did have fun.

I was much happier when the game was over and I could go and relax with my Auskick friends.

Perhaps I will actually play Auskick next year, who knows?

The Holidays are Over

Well the holidays are over and it is time to head back to school in the morning. Here is a quick recap of what we have been up to.

It has been a great holiday, with lots of great things to do, but the best part is that no one was sick or injured this time!

Another Busy Day

How did you spend your Saturday?  I bet it wasn't as much fun as my day.  First I went to my friends birthday party where we made our own birthday treats.  Then I had to rush back from that birthday party to go to another birthday party.  

At this birthday party, we had a fashion show.  It wasn't a typical fashion show, for this fashion show, we had to make our own clothes.  Now you are probably thinking that making clothing for a fashion show isn't that difficult for a group of talented girls, but it is a little more difficult when all you can use to make your outfit is aluminium foil!

This is the outfit that my team designed and made.  

I thought it was fantastic.  Unfortunately it wasn't the best outfit of the day, it was the second best.  Even as the second best outfit, we still won a prize, and it was delicious!

I had a fantastic day celebrating the birthday of my friends.  I hope you had a great day too.
