Historical Moment

The West Coast Eagles win the AFL Premiership. Today, the girls (and most other kids in WA) are fans of the Eagles.

A week without

Last night, CJ took her Gameboy to bed with her and got caught up by Dad, playing it at about 9:00pm. Needless to say, Dad was not impressed. CJ is not allowed to use the Gameboy, Playstation or the computer for a week.

All Quiet

The biggest news of the weekend is that Brooke has had a haircut.



It was fairly quiet all across the weekend with the girls playing their usual games. Courtney is looking forward to writing a post this weekend coming.

Dad Can't Win

Courtney is a little upset because Dad posts news before she gets a chance to tell people. Apparently Nana and Grandad had heard about her coming first in the running race before Courtney got a chance... ooops.

Then today Dave from BHM Photography, told Dad that he wasn't posting enough...

One thing that they will forget long before the culprits return, today Brooke wanted to know why 'Dad's' horse fridge magnet was right up the top of the fridge where she couldn't reach it - "Dad!, you have to put it down, so you know it's a horse, not a bird!"

Nothing Much To Do

If you ask Courtney, we did absolutely nothing today. Dad remembers it somewhat differently, waking up and making pancakes before heading down to our now ritual of arts and crafts at Bunnings.

Then after lunch, we took up the challenge of trying to make the largest bubble that the girls have ever seen, trying different solutions in our attempt.



Brooke had a sideline game going where she was trying to collect as many Rolly bugs as she could, putting them into one of Grandma's jeweller boxes...



Then the girls glued together every piece of scrap wood they could find in order to make a town and course for the match box cars and then this afternoon we (Dad walked) rode down to the shops for a milky way.



Perhaps Courtney was right – not much happened today.

First place

Today was the sports carnival at Courtney's school. She is so very proud of herself because she cam first in a running race. Apparently Mum was very proud, shouting out from the sidelines.

Historical Moment

Today Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died after being struck in the chest with a stingray barb. The girls were always glued to the television when Steve was on.

Fathers Day

Yesterday, the girls went to the shops with Grandma, armed with a couple of dollars each to buy Dad a present. Three hours later they came home.

Fathers Day started with Courtney waking Dad, franticly saying “Dad, Dad… stay in bed okay!” A few minutes later, the girls came in with toast and a hot coffee. Dad was spoilt with a back massager, coffee mug, a key holder and key tag.



Dad also received a horse fridge magnet, a packet of colourful beads and a packet of open glitter glue pens. He also was given a nice book which contained pictures that the girls had drawn with the glitter glue pens….

We went back to Bunnings this morning for the kids workshop. Brooke had decided that the tool box that she made on Thursday, she wanted to give to Mum and the girls wanted to make another one for Grandad.





The girls spent a fair bit of the day blowing bubbles and this afternoon they rode (or got a tow on) their bikes to the park for a big play.






A really nice day.
