Mini Holiday

I've been on school holidays this week. Dad took some time off as well and we all went down to Lake Bennett for a couple of days. We hired a cabin on the lake which was brilliant. It even had canoes which mum, dad and I went in for a paddle around the lake. Dad said he was tired after the fourth go but that's because no-one else was paddling. On Saturday, Greg and Sandy came down. We all went for a swim in the lake. I was the furthest out as dad said I would make good croc bait, whatever that is. Sandy and mum looked after me while Greg and dad put plastic chairs in the lake so they could sit and drink beer at the same time. Dad said he should patent the idea.

Centre Stage

Tonight was my school concert. My Transition class did Rockin' Robin and I was right at the very front and right in the middle. I was certainly in the spotlight and centre stage! Mum and dad said that I was a real star from go to woe! Unlike at last years Christmas concert where I impersonated a statue, I really put everything into this performance and sang and danced my little heart out. Mum and dad are so proud of me! For reference I am just to the left of the shoulder of the lady standing up and blocking everyones view. Dad's reached 50 and is at the stage where he doesn't give a .. .. what people think so told her to sit down. Dad even got thanked from other parents and says it's great being 50 and being perfectly happy about being a grumpy B#$%#!

Dad's work

A few weeks ago we all went to dad's work which had a family fun day. Mum and dad did abseiling and I put out some fires.

Sleep, spiders and teddys

Dad took some really aweful photos of me sleeping last night. I think it's my right to sleep how I want and wear what I want to bed without being ridiculed. If I want to sleep on the floor with a pink superhero mask on, that's my prerogative!!

Today was also the day of the Teddy Bear's picnic. Mum and I spent ages lining up to get a spider drawn on my face. I think it looks cool, but mum was not impressed about lining up for 20 minutes.

Birthdays and Camping

We have had a fun week. I am still on school holidays and last weekend was Mum's birthday (Still 38!!). We went into the Crowne Plaza and had a brilliant time. My favourite part was watching Rio on the in-house movies - it's about a bird that can't fly. Mum and Dad liked the pub, the massages and the meals. Mum took the rest of the week off and we did lots of great things such as going to the Darwin Show. I got a show bag and a kite, which Dad and I flew when we went camping this weekend. We went to Litchfield National Park and we did lots of walks to the Cascades, Sandy Creek Falls and Wangi Falls. Dad drove through lots and lots of water with signs saying 'Beware Crocodiles.' Fortunately Dad didn't stall the engine otherwise mum would have had to push the car and would probably been eaten by a Croc. Dad says he has never seen me so dirty - I had the best time ever! Off to fly my kite again.

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.
