Halloween
Tonight the girls got dressed up in their costumes and went Trick-or-Treating with Aunty Kirstie. They cleaned up in the street and now both have more lollies than they will be able to eat in November... Aunty Kirstie has some great photos which will be posted shortly.

Party Girls
On Thursday, the girls' school had an exhibition of the art work that they have been doing this term. Here is Brooke with her classes monsters.
The girls have had a very busy few days. They have attended three parties in as many days. Two birthday parties and a Halloween party where they got to make ghosts and jack-o-lanterns. Of course as soon as they got home, they had to show Dad which meant that we had to make another one. Brooke is mighty pleased that she got to light the candle with the stove lighter – Dad is just hoping that he hasn’t created a pyromaniac.
Brooke was so tired after he big Saturday that everything got too much. She argued and cried when Dad and Grandma tried to dress her into a new pair of pajamas. She was certain that they were not right. She ended up sleeping in her day clothes – skirt and all.

A brief update
Well, it’s been pointed out that there have been very little news posted on the site lately. Dad has been busy with other things and has neglected his duties by forgetting to update on a regular basis. Here is a quick update to bring you up to speed.
About a week after the royal show, the girls got to go to a family picnic that was put on by Dad’s work. The girls had just as much fun as they did at the show (at a fraction of the cost) and obviously they were let of the reins a little.
CJ has a lovely new bed. A purple four poster! Mum’s friend John took on the challenge of making the bed after CJ (and Mum) couldn’t find one she liked – there will be a picture shortly.
Yesterday Courtney went on a school excursion to Hills Forest where she learnt a little bit about the Noongar people and life in the forest.
CJ has taken a term off swimming with the intention of taking on netball. Brooke on the other hand is swimming like a fish even though she rarely listens to her instructor, spending most of the lesson with her head underwater.
Last week (or so) Leighton and Teagan went with the girls to the Beach House where they played for hours. Courtney was very upset when the day was over.

Royal Show 2006
The girls loved the Royal Show and to tell you the truth, Mum and Dad had a great day as well. Clearly the girls best moment of the day was riding the ponies but they also got to go on five rides which they paid for themselves out of their pocket money. Brooke picked out a My Little Pony showbag and CJ chose a Winx Club. This year Mum and Dad got to look at a few displays as well which the girl patiently waiting through.

A trip to the Zoo
The girls have had a really big weekend. Mum's old friend, John has been making Courtney a big four post bed so the girls went over to consult on the finishing touches. It is looking really good and CJ has asked that the bed be painted a nice purple colour.
Today the girls joined in on Katrina's 14th birthday at the zoo. Having been there only a few weeks earlier, Courtney was an old hand, showing Dad and Brooke around.
Obviously the lions and tigers were up there with the favourite animals but the silver gibbons put on a very funny show and the girls didn't want to leave their enclosure.
Dad's favourite was the salt water crocodile - it was amazing to see the under water view as well as the eyes and nostrils on top of the water.
How the girls managed to stay awake all the way home in the car - I do not know.
