Bob the Builders.

Today we played a new game, it is called 'Bob the Builders', and everyone pretends to build something. We all went to Ines and Stellas new house in Moonee Ponds. Their new house is really an old house but it is a little bit broken, so we all decided to try and fix it.

There was so much to do; we had to rip out the kitchen, lift up the floors, chop down the forest, catch spiders and bugs and sweep up all of the mess. There is still lots of stuff to do, but maybe someone else can paint the inside of the house and build the kitchen and the cupboards.

As well as all of the building (and demolishing) that needed to be done, there was heaps of other fun things to do. We could explore the forest, chase shadows in the back shed, climb trees or pretend we had horses in the stables our the back. I think it will be lots of fun playing at Ines and Stella's new house!

Love AJ and Milla,

friends of Bob the Builder

Time for School?

Can you believe it is almost time to find a school for me to go to. I am only 4 and already I have to make such important decisions!

Today I went and had a look at a primary school. We went to a school in Flemington. As we walked up to the school buildings, someone started yelling out over the speakers. She sounded a little crazy and I didn't want to stay. I convinced mum and dad that we should go to a different primary school instead, so we all went back to the car.

We drove around for a bit, then stopped to look at the same primary school. (I pretended that it was a different school, just to keep mum and dad happy.) I told them that it looked exactly like the first school, except that there were kids making beautiful music instead of the strange lady with the microphone.

I really liked listening to the girl who played the trumpet and her brother who played the glockenspiel. Mabye when I go to primary school I can play a musical instrument too. Do you know something else exciting about the primary school we looked at today? My friend Isabella was there too.

Hopefully we can go to primary school together and be friends forever.

We're Going to the Zoo

Well actually, we have already been to the zoo.

I went to the zoo yesterday with AJ, Amelia, Zach, Ella and Taylah. There was so much exploring to do. As usual, we followed my favourite zoo trail - from a picnic in the playground to the elephant area.

Our animal adventures began walking to the gorillas (who decided they didn't want to play), past the tiger (who wanted to play with a water bottle), over the monkey bridge and finally to the elephant area.

I think the elephant area is more exciting than the real elephants. I was too busy climbing all over the statues to even see a real elephant! Mum told me that if I am a really lucky girl, I might get to visit my friend Rutt in Thailand and go for a ride on an elephant!

Wouldn't that be amazing, I hope that one day I can visit Rutt and ride on a real elephant.

PS - I think the real reason AJ likes to play with me and my friends is so that he can have a group of spunky girls who follow him wherever he goes.

He likes to teach us tricks!

We were so worn out after running around the zoo, we had to stop and have a rest (and eat an aussie icypole!)

The Footy

When I was having my holiday at Grandma's house, I went to the footy. Milli stayed with Grandma and I went in to the MCG with dad and Granddad.

We caught the train in to the city and then walked to the 'G'. I was so excited about going to the footy that I didn't even want to watch the end of the ANZAC parade or stop and play at Birrarung Mar. I didn't even want to stop for a rest with Granddad, I just wanted to get there.

When we finally made it there, there was so much to see and do. It was amazing. I didn't think that going to the footy would involve so much singing. We sang Waltzing Matilda, True Blue and Advance Australia Fair as well as lots of other Aussie songs.

Lots of special people were at the MCG, people that were driven around the ground while everyone cheered. I am not sure why they were so important, but I think it had something to do with the people keeping Australia such an amazing place.

Eventually it was time for the footy. Dad and Granddad both cheered for the Magpies, but I like the Bombers too, so I cheered for everyone. Dad and Granddad were really happy and kept singing 'Good Old Collingwood Forever'. I sang that song too, but I also like the song about the Bombers going up.

I had a great day at the footy. Hopefully dad will take me to more footy games, maybe even a Bulldog game because Milla likes the Bulldogs this week.

Go footy (and Skaifey too)

Off to Grandma's House.

Have you ever heard of Little Red Riding Hood? Today I feel like Little Red Riding Hood, except that I have a Little Pink Jacket. I am about to go all the way to Sunbury to have a holiday with Grandma. I hope there is no wolf trying to stop me from going to Grandma's house. AJ is going to come with me, he is big and brave, he will save me from any wolf.

Well our bag is packed and mum and dad are finally ready to drive me there.
Hooray, ikimasho (let's go!)

Kinder Kids

Friday is my favourite kinder day because my mum comes and helps us. She plays chasey around the playground, helps us make spiral snakes and even lets the pirates make her walk the plank! Luckily Milla is a mermaid and she can save mum from the sharks in the ocean.

It is so cool when mum comes to kinder.

My Friend Anna

Did you know that my friend Anna came to visit me? It took her ages to get here because she lives in London (and that is even further away than New York!)

It was great to see her again, we gave her lots of kisses and smooshy cuddles.

As well as visiting me, Anna is planning her wedding. Tino finally asked her to marry him, and they are going to get married in Melbourne in February. I can't wait, Anna said that I can go to the wedding AND to the big celebration party. Maybe I can even get a new princess dress to wear!
