Holidays...

Well it is the school holidays, Christmas is finished and the year is about to end. What can a couple of kids do to fill in their days?

Hmmm...we can visit mum at work and play with the roadside flares and torches, or maybe go to Bunnings and make things. We can read books and do drawings with Sarah McNamara and Odd (oops, I think I should really call him Ed!) We can go bike riding and scooter riding with fr. We can meet new people, like Tomoko who is visiting from Japan and have yummy bbq food. We can dance in the rain and go to the swimming pool. We can go shopping for after Christmas bargains or go to the movies. We can look for water, and if we can find water, we can look for tadpoles. We can even explore new parks and chase dragons!

All of these fun things to do and the summer fun activities haven't even started yet!

"Spoiled Rotten"

Mum and dad both keep saying that we are 'spoiled rotten'. We don't really know what 'spoiled rotten' means, all we know is that something that is rotten is all gross, gooey and stinky and that really isn't us (well not today anyway!)

I think that 'spoiled rotten' must have something to do with all the presents that we have been given. It isn't our fault that we are just so adorable that everyone wanted to exchange gifts with us!

We love sharing time and gifts with all the extra special people in our lives.

Ho Ho Ho

Last night before bed, we went outside to see if we could see Santa. We did! He was just coming around the corner with his sleigh. We had to quickly run upstairs and go to bed. We didn't want Santa skipping our house just because we weren't in bed. We even had to tell mum and dad to be quiet, so they wouldn't scare Santa away.

It was worth it; when we woke up, there were double-decker beds in our room! Santa is amazing. We don't know how he got the giant bed into our room because our room is up two stairs and the windows are kind of small (well too small to fit a bed through)! Santa must really be magic.

We love our new double decker beds.
Thanks Santa

Only one more sleep until Christmas!

I hope that everyone has a big sleep tonight so that Santa has time to deliver presents to everyone. We are going to go to bed really early tonight so that we can wake up extra early to see if Santa thought we were good kids this year.

Merry Christmas everyone,
Love AJ and Milla

A King Christmas

Today we had another Christmas celebration, this time with the King family.

Nanny and Poppy came down from Yarrawonga, Sharn came over from Ascot Vale and Adam, Melani and Charlie (the puppy) came up from Geelong.

We all swapped lots of presents and then had a huge feast for lunch. We all ate too much and had to go to the park to relax before we ate some more.

If today was a practice for the real Christmas, I think we will all have lots of fun tomorrow!

Christmas Has Begun

Everyone keeps asking me how many sleeps until Christmas. Even though there are 2 more sleeps until Santa comes to visit, Christmas has already begun.

Today, Henry bought his parents to our house so we could swap Christmas presents. We gave Henry a really cool Little People playground and he gave us some books and Lego.

Swapping presents is so much fun.

Science Experiments!

Look what I grew.

I didn't put my lunch box in the dishwasher after the kinder break-up party, instead I put it in the cupboard under the stairs. Look what I found when I opened my lunch box today! Mum said that growing mould is a fun science experiment. She said that we have other science experiments growing in the fridge!

I like science.
Growing mould is so cool,
Love AJ
