A school Fair
Somehow, the girls became aware of another Primary School holding a fair down the road, so we just had to go. Courtney had a ride on the rodeo bull and Brooke could not pass on a ride on a real horse. The favourite of the day was the horizontal bungee jump.
Nana and Grandad have returned from their trip overseas and the girls are very happy to have them home again.

This Weekend
The school term has come to an end and not a moment too soon for the girls, they are worn out and getting a little ratty.
Yesterday Courtney got out an old go-kart and cleaned it up. It has become her most favourite thing of the week, unfortunately the go-kart was built for a child up to about 5 years of age - we will see how long it lasts.
Brooke went with Grandma and Pa to Araluen to see the water falls and the flowers.
Today they girls had a play date at a friends house and then we went bike riding and go-karting at the duck park. Brooke is getting very close to riding her big bike by herself... and Dad is getting very good at running along side, breaking his back.
No plans really for the weeks ahead - Maybe the Royal Show on Wednesday...

Wall E
Dad and the girls went to the movies today and watched Wall E. Tonight CJ is cooking dinner and dessert - she is very excited.
First Place
Yesterday Brooke ran the 100 meters at the interschool carnival and she came FIRST. She was so happy with herself, and rightly so. Pa, Aunty Kirstie, Mum and Dad were pretty chuffed as well.

Another Catchup
On the weekend the girls and Dad sat down and worked out most of the things that have happened over the last few weeks.
The girls did swimming lessons at school, CJ is in level 7 and Brooke level 4. Both of the girls seem to like swimming but there is a lot of protest each day when they are asked how they went. Apparently it is boring and they don’t learn anything.
The school carnival went really well. Brooke came first in her race and is now in the interschool carnival at the end of the week. Courtney came second in her race. They both really liked the running races.
The girls and Mum have moved house. They are looking after Nana and Grandad’s house while they are overseas. After that, they will all be looking for a new place and Courtney has not given up on her desire to have a two storey house – good luck to her.
The girls have found out that early next year they will have a baby boy cousin to dote over. His name is Xavier and everyone is looking forward to meeting him – especially Aunty Kirstie and Uncle Peter.
Brooke had one of her adult teeth break through behind her baby tooth. The little tooth was not ready to let go by itself so she went to the dentist and they used “the sucker” to pull out the little tooth.
On things medical, Brooke has been to the doctor to have some of her warts burnt off and CJ had to have an ultrasound on her kidney – Nothing to worry about.
For Father’s Day the girls gave Dad a puff ball and a beanie kids teddy bear for him to put on his desk at work.
The girls are doing a public speaking assignment at school. CJ is talking about Ultrasounds and Xrays and Brooke is talking about her three favourite animals - Harry the hairless horse, the painting horse and the worlds smallest horse.
Aside from all that the girls have been happy, healthy and spend most of their free time with their noses in their Nintendos. Bring on Spring (for real) so we can get outdoors.
It’s been a while so Dad had the girls sit a survey again;

Lots of News
Over the last week a lot has happened in the girls world - most of it Dad missed because he was in Karratha.
Nana and Grandad have headed off on their holiday after some last minute hiccups, hopefully they are having a wonderful time.
Brooke went to the dentist and had a pesky tooth pulled. One of her baby teeth had hung in for far too long and the adult tooth was growing in behind it. We hope that things straighten themselves out now there is some room to move.
Courtney had her learning journey at school - Mum and Pa got to see all her great work.
Brooke won her 200 meter race at school and is very happy with herself.
The girls demanded to be woken at 5:30am this mornign to watch the luna eclipse - amazingly they made it through the day - they even went to a baby expo with Uncle Peter and Aunty Kirstie and did not have a melt down.
Mum and the girls have moved into Nana and Grandad's house whilst they are away.

Scitech
On the weekend the girls got to go to Scitech again. Courtney was stoked when she was asked to go on stage and help with the demonstration. She got a little more concerned when she found out her job was to try and blow up a ballon until it burst.
As always, the girls had a great time although we're not sure if they learnt anything.

Time to catch up
A lot has been happening over the last month. The girls and just about everyone they know have had some sort of cold or flu which has kept us all rugged up at home from time to time.
The biggest and best news is that the girls are going to get a new cousin. Aunty Kirstie is pregnant, expecting in the new year - so we're sure the girls will be very helpful little hands to have around.
After the school holidays, Mum took the girls for a few days of holiday down in Busselton. The girls had a ball - even though it was very wet and the chalet park they were staying in flooded a little.
Chloe has been back to the vet and had another operation - but as you can see, she still thinks she is human.
In general the girl have been their normal selves. When they do not have their noses jammed into a Nintendo, they are happy little young ladies.

A couple of weeks ago, Dad was over visiting the girls after dinner. Courtney and Brooke announced that they had made deserts and ran to the fridge and bought back jelly cups with Easter eggs submerged at the bottom.
Very tricky little girls had followed the instructions on the jelly pack perfectly and when mum wasn’t watching, CJ boiled the kettle and they made up the jelly cups.
Mum and Dad were very impressed with CJ’s reading skills but both the girls have promised not to use boiling water in anything without an adult being nearby.

Hurry Up.
Dad has been given the hurry up for an update from a few different sources... one of who is now old enough to write her own narrative.
A few weeks ago Dad and Pa took the girls to a model train show.
Then today, the girls spent the afternoon at the Museum
We will try to get the updates coming more often.

Mothers Day
The girls had made a whole heap of little gifts for Mum on Mothers Day and the girls bought her a Mum of the Year teddy bear. This afternoon, the girls went for a ride on their bikes for the first time in ages. Brooke was very brave and rode on the footpath for the first time without her training wheels... mind you, Dad had to run along side - so it was a short ride.
CJ has also found a new hobby - "photoshopping" photographs of everyone she knows, I am sure most of you would have received at least one. She is quite clever.

Merit Certificate
Today CJ received a Merit Certificate at school for all her hard work lately. She was also picked out by her teacher to read a passage in front of the whole school, introducing her class as they were showing the school how well they can speak Indonesian.
