It's been another busy week. This week I had my sportsday. I am in Litchfield house which is Green. Our team came second. I ran in the 50 metre race, but didn't do very well as Dad distracted me by waving just as we started the race. By the time I had finished waving back the others had already started. Thanks Dad! When Dad went back to work I did much better in the hopping with water race and I came second.

We have had a long weekend this weekend. It's the Queens birthday so we all celebrated by going camping in Litchfield National Park. We are in the middle of a cold spell and we froze each night. Mum and I were packed and ready to come home today before Dad had even had a coffee. It's going to be even colder tonight - down to 12C and only up to 25C tomorrow. We have been wearing jumpers and jeans until midday the last few days and I didn't take my trousers off all day today.

Photos attached of me at my sports day, camping and looking cool in my baseball cap.

My Birthday

Today I turned 5 years old and mum and dad feel ten years older after my party. The day started with presents from the family. Mum and dad got me a brand new go fast red bike and Auntil Janet got me a scooter. Then we had my party. I had friends from school and friends I have known for ages. Mum and dad organised a bouncy castle which also had a water slide and pool which was really cool. Then we had pass the parcel and a pinata which dad broke because he hit it too hard. My cake was really brilliants and everyone enjoyed it including the parents. I now have so many presents to go through once mum and dad get off the lounge and start speaking again.

Chocolate Heaven

Today is Easter Sunday, better known as Easter Egg Day. Last night the Easter Bunny brought lots and lots of Easter Eggs. So many in fact that I had to invite my friends around to help collect them all. We had 11 kids and 11 adults around for breakfast. Dad did a barbie with bacon, sausages and egges. We had a great time lookintg for the eggs and only took 30 seconds to find all the egss that the 'Bunny' took ages to hide. We also had a colouring in competition (Sean won) and played with lots of my toys. Mum and dad have had a very quiet afternoon although I think they may find it difficult putting me to bed tonight!

Happy Birthday Dad

It was Dad's 50th Birthday last week and we celebrated by going to Adelaide. We stayed with mum and dad's friends, Ronnie and Chris and my friends Buba J and Tayla who live on a farm/property in the Adelaide Hills. We had a fantastic time and did lots of brilliant things.

Everything was great although I wasn't too sure about the Alpacas when I was feeding them (Dad forgot the camera that day). I really enjoyed catching up with Greg and Sandy who surprised Dad by walking into the pub where we were having lunch on his birthday. They are on their way back to Darwin from Victoria after having six months off.

I also really enjoyed feeding the sheep at Tayla and Bubba J's place and coming down the hill on a billy cart. Dad broke he wheel on the cart which killed off any further fun on the hill. Everyone suggested it happened because Dad is too fat.

We also spent some time in a nice hotel in Adelaide and went down to Glenelg on the tram. I had lots of fun on the bungy jumpy thingy.

Back home again now and still have one day of scholl holidays left. Back to school on Monday

Mighteeball

Dad has been taking me to Mighteeball for the last few weeks. Mighteeball is junior baseball and I spend Sunday morning hitting, catching and throwing balls as well as doing lots of running around. Mum and Dad came with me today and I showed off all my skills. I was so good that mum bought me a sausage sizzle afterwards. Here are the photos of me doing all the things I do.

Cyclone, What Cyclone?

Dad came back early from work today and mum finished at lunchtime. I was also told that I did not have to go to school. Dad spent ages last night getting all the loose items that were outside into the house. I thought he was bringing them in for me to sit on, but no. We are in the middle of a cyclone (Cyclone Carlos) which has been hovering around Darwin for the last 24 hours and has brought about half a metre of rain in just over 24 hours. We are all very wet. Dad has been to the shops to stock up on essentials - Who knew red wine was an essential item? Don't know what the fuss is all about - I still have TV. Dad's about to go into the loft again as he says we have a leak, not that I'm bothered.

Starting School

Today I started school. My teacher Miss Eriksen says that I am the King of the Puzzles as I did mine very fast. She also says that I have 'ants in my pants,' but they weren't there when I checked. There were the usual first day tears - Not from me but from mum and dad! I am in a class with my friends Chester and Sean who I was at pre-school with last year when I was a little kid.
