Scitech

Today has been full on. A lunch time the girls went to Natasha's birthday party at Go Bananas and then this evening we went to Scitech with Pa.

Brooke liked the 3D shark movie but once again the girls couldn't get enough of the construction site, they could have spent all night there.

Comedy Act

Today Courtney appeared in her schools talent quest at assembly. She and Madison W put on a comedy skit, telling jokes to the rest of the school. Surprisingly, Courtney was very dynamic when she was telling the jokes, it was very interesting seeing her being 'over the top' in public.

Q. Why did the toilet roll, roll down the hill...?
A. To get to the bottom.

Courtney also received a Merit Certificate for her recent efforts at school, so she is pretty pleased with herself today... and so are we.

A winter weekend.

This weekend the girls went to saw Cars at the cinemas. It wasn't a bad movie but we'd suggest that you wait until the DVD comes out. Even considering that the girls were very tired last night, they have not really mentioned the movie today.

What is the answer?

This morning Grandma made the girls breakfast. She ended up in a dead discussion with Brooke as to when a piklet becomes big enough to be called a pancake. Apparently Brooke will not accept piklets for breakfast.

School Assembly

Today Courtney’s class performed at the school assembly. Unfortunately the kindy kids do not get to go and watch but Dad, Pa, Nana and Grandad braved the cold to go and watch. CJ’s class sang songs about mosquitoes and other insects.

Afterwards, everyone got to visit CJ’s class room and she proudly showed everyone all the work she has been doing at school lately. After about ten minutes, she got bored of entertaining the adults and took off to play games with her friends.

Fancy Dress Day

Today was fancy dress day at the girls school. Courtney was a princess and Brooke was the "Bunny Easter". Both were very excited and they looked gorgeous. Dad got to stay on as duty parent in Brooke's class room, to see what they got up to.



This afternoon Pa and Dad took Courtney to her swimming class. She has a really different type of teacher. This lady Dad can only describe as a Russian gym coach, she yells at the kids, splashes water in their faces when they are not listening etc... Dad was just about to pull Courtney out when he noticed that all the kids love this teacher... strange.

Public Holiday

This week CJ's class are performing at the school assembly. Yesterday, Grandma asked Courtney if she knew why she was getting a public holiday. CJ answered "Yer, because we have such a busy week coming up, getting ready for assembly."

Dad's return

Dad is back in Perth and he was very keen to see the girls. After spending a week or so with James, Cameron and Marcus, Dad is very glad to back around quiet little ladies with some sense of fear.

Over the last couple of weeks the girls have been very busy. They have been on holidays to Busselton with Nana and Grandad but the only stories we've managed to get so far is that they saw somewhere where Grandad grew up and Nana caught a "Spiky Fish" on the jetty.

Today Dad, Pa and the girls had a picnic in the park. Brooke is getting very good at herding ducks away from her sandwhiches.
