Welcome Mackenzie Kate

A great answer

Mum (inspecting the days lunchbox) : "Courtney, you didn't eat your apple"
Courtney : "I don't have any teeth" (flashing and pointing to her one tooth smile)

The sore head

Courtney got hit in the head with a rock today. Apparently the rock was about the same size as her head… I guess were lucky that she wasn’t seriously hurt. It appears that Isaac was trying to build big muscles in order to impress one of the girls in year five and he accidentally lobbed the rock on Courtney’s head as he threw it down – something like that.

Happy Mothers Day

On Friday the girls played up at netball, they were obviously making themselves well known the staff at the netball centre. One of the ladies told Mum that they were running around, causing a disturbance, the girls version is that they were being chased by boys.

As punishment for their ruckus at the netball, the girls have been banned from watching television, playing on the Playstation or using the computer all weekend and it must be said that they took it very well. In fact, Courtney spent most of the weekend reminding people that she had to obey the rules.

This morning the girls jumped into bed with Grandma and without trying, made her Mothers Day rather special. There was tears though when Brooke wanted to give Grandma’s card to Mum because she liked the butterflies on the cover… Guess who gave in first, Grandma or Brooke?

This afternoon, we took the bikes for a ride, which the girls always love doing and then the girls had their first ever ride on the back of a ute. Honestly, we only went about 5 km/h.

This weekend coming the girls are going on holidays with Nana and Granddad and they are really looking forward to getting away and going fishing.

Historical Event

Grant Webb and Todd Russell are freed after being trapped for 14 days in a gold mine in Beaconsfield, Tasmania.

It begins

Grandma and Pa have arrived in town and the girls are jostling for Pa’s attention. Last night, Mum took the girls over their house to say hello and it appears that Pa paid too much attention to Brooke so suddenly Courtney had a sore throat and needed to be carried out to the car when it was time to go. There will be some interesting times ahead.

This weekend the girls are off to Brookton to visit Maddison, Courtney’s mate from school last year.
