Oma said that it was good to be 10% off but was still a bit of money. Emma, Christopher and I wanted to go (I thought even though it is still a bit expensive it was better than usual) and we asked if we could. Oma said okay and so we went. Emma and I had rainbow ice cream and Christopher had cookies and cream.

When we had had that we went back to Opa. He was still fishing and had told me that he and Christopher and he had caught a puffer fish (WOW) and a brim. After all of that we went home.

The next day Emma and I played play station for a while.
TV was next.

The next day was swimming time! At first it was very cold. Then we started to dive and had a lot of fun. After a while Emma got cold and we went up to the house for a drink. We went back to the pool and a blowfly somehow got into my swimmers and bit me. (Don't worry, it doesn't hurt as much as you think). Emma and I went up to mum and told her about the bite. It didn't really matter and we had to wait for Ray (our neighbour) to get back and go to the area to get some lettuce. (Ray owns the pool).

When Ray got back Emma and I got in the back of his car (his car has no roof, sides or doors) and stood up for a fun ride. Mum got in the front. The ride was SO much fun!

We arrive at the vegetables and Emma and I went to feed the ducks. WE had to call them chooks so we were calling "Here chook, chook, chook"! Mum and Ray finished picking the lettuce and we got back in the car.

We got back home and Emma said to me that that ride was the ride of her life! I felt the same way.

One day passed.

The next one though.....we had an other swim! This time we brought along my dolphin, noodle and witches hats. We had a whole lot more fun this time! Falling off the dolphin was fun too but we had a few panic's because sometimes when we fell in we had no breath at all!

After that day Emma had to go. (It was Friday). I went in the car to spend 2 extra hours with Emma but it was a four hour drive altogether.

Dad and I stopped at the little wind chime shop in Esk to get a few thing. Dad bought me 2 cute little elephants made of glass and with pretty patterns inside the glass. I named them Emma and Catherine. Dad got Christopher a beautiful snake with aboriginal patterns on it. Christopher called it Oscar.

I am sorry to say that is the end of this "to be continued" two time blog post!

Our Week

2008-10-04T01:10:00.000-07:00

When we had finished our lunch Emma and I decided to put some ice from our drinks down Opa's shirt and Oma said it was okay to do that. Emma was first to try and then me. We finally got some down his shirt and then he tryed it to us! He got Christopher though! After that he took one of our empty coke cups and went to a tap to fill it with water. I was suddenly a bit cautious. Emma and I thought that if we hid behind Oma that Opa wouldn't throw it on us but we were soon wrong. Opa splashed it all over Oma and I and Emma got a bit wet. It was our turn then to wet him. We did very well. It went on like that for a while and then Opa said that we should start to be water wise but he filled the cup again with water. So did Emma. Opa missed and went over to a table of other people so we couldn't get him. After a while he came back but still too far as Emma attempted to wet him and missed. It went all over Christopher instead!

After all that water fun Opa took Christopher fishing while Oma took us to kings beach to swim. We soon got tired and went back to Bullcock beach to swim there. After we had done enough swimming we headed back to Oma, Opa and Christopher. On our way a lady gave us a piece of paper and it was for ice cream that was 10% off.

Our Week

2008-10-01T00:28:00.000-07:00

On Friday the 26 of September my cousin Emma arrived at 5:45 PM and I had to wait all day for her to arrive. I was really excited!

Emma had SO much stuff. I had to carry lots of it too.

When we got inside we put all of her stuff on the floor and started to catch up. After a while we set up the bed we were going to use. My couch, it has two parts and we put them together to make a bed.

We had my Oma and Opa over (this might be useful information for later) for the weekend too.

Dad cooked a risotto and chicken + asparagus. It was delicious!

When it was bed time we went and played a few games and when Oma said to turn the light off and go to sleep it was 12:00 PM!

The next morning Emma and I woke up at about 7:30 AM and I wanted to go back to sleep but I couldn't. Emma wanted to play a game on my computer so we did.

At about 10:00 AM Oma and Opa took Christopher, Emma and me to Caloundra for the day. Before Opa got back with our lunch a huge bird was sitting in a tree just above Christopher. It suddenly pooped all over him and it looked like paint. A kind lady lended us some wet wipes to clean it off his lap and wheelchair. When Opa arrived we told him and he had a big laugh!

Cooloola 500

2008-09-14T00:38:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,
We (Oma, Opa, brother and I) went to the Cooloola (I don't really know how to spell it) 500 today and had a good day out.

It took us a hour to get there though so we had to go pretty early to get there on time. Once we arrived in Gympie we could not find it! We had to ask three people how to get there.

Once we finally found it we took a park and went to check it out. It was a bit smaller than we had expected but, it was fine.

We started walking around to see what there was. There was stalls and most things were free! There was food and music, games and go carts.

Opa and Christopher went to look at the go carts while Oma and I went around all the stalls to see what there was. Oma and I started collecting things from every stall and we got so much that we needed bags! After a while the boys (Christopher and Opa) finally caught up with us and Christopher said "What are those bags for?" And I said "Well, we have been collecting things from all of the stall we pass by." Christopher wanted to have a bag too and so he joined it collecting from the remaining stalls with us.

When all that was finally over we went to have lunch. Christopher and I had sausages on bread.

Then we went to see the largest undies ever seen by us being raised! That was very funny!! When they had done that Christopher and I went over to see some people flying planes and helicopter toys.

Oma came over to us and asked if we were still hungry. I said yes and bro said no so Oma took me to the snack stalls to see what I might be interested in. I decided on a chocolate and marshmallow kebab!! It was great.

Christopher and I were getting hot and bored. We told Oma and Opa and they wanted to finish their coffee's first so I went over to a track where you can race cars with a little remote. The track had stripes on each line for the car to race on. I was just about to go back to Oma and Opa when they appeared by my side. Oma asked if I would like to race with Christopher and I said yes. Christopher still wanted to go but...it was alright. Guess who won that race! Of course Christopher. Then I raced Oma. I won just.

After all of that we went home.

Well thats all for me for now.

Bye and have a good time.

2008-08-26T20:12:00.000-07:00

Hello,
I am really sorry that I am not usually on. I am either busy or I forgot about it.

Anyway. We changed an aquarium to a terrarium from late July to early August this year. Firstly we had to take all of the fish out of the tank and put them in the dam next door.

This was sad and i missed some of them a lot but luckily most of the ones that we were attached to had died. Christopher's fish lasted the longest because it was in there until 2 days before we emptied the tank of fish.

Next we had to take all of the water, ornaments and pebbles out of the tank. When this was done all of the pebbles and ornaments needed cleaning because that had algie and fish poo all over them. My ornaments are on my shelf now. The tank also needed cleaning and it took a while to clean.

We had to then go to a plant nersery to find some plants. Christopher and I didn't go because we were somewhere else. Mum and Dad came out with a good selection of plants. We have mini palm trees, African violets, a picture plant (eats insects that get inside that tank), an air plant, ferns etc. The mini palms are my favourite in the tank. All of these plants are mini otherwise they could not fit in the tank.

The glass case of the tank is 120 cm long, 20 cm wide and 20 cm high.

See you naxt time everybody!!!

Rain, Rain Come Again!

2008-05-30T18:43:00.000-07:00

Sorry, no Mothers Day thing, but rain this time.

It has been raining very, very heavily here and it is very good to us. Getting the mail has been a bit challenging without getting wet but we manage it.

When I said rain, rain come again I meant REALLY come again!

Our tank got so full that it overflowed and we had to use up all the water.

Has it been raining near you?

See ya soon.

Mothers Day

2008-05-07T20:10:00.001-07:00

This Mothers Day Granny & Pa and Oma & Opa are coming up and...well I can't tell you
too much because Mum, Granny or Oma might look at this blog but I will tell you about it when it has actually happened. Anyway keep looking at the bolg cause I'll put a post up when Mothers Day has gone. Bye for now...that = BFN so........BFN!!!

Car Trouble

2008-04-23T20:11:00.000-07:00

One day the KIA (our new car) got damaged backing into the garage. It missed by a few centimeters and one side of the bumper bar scraped against the garage and it fell off! Dad used masking tape to put it back on. When he told Christopher and me he had to show us something on the car I thought to myself...something boring if the car's involved. So we went outside and looked at the car.Dad pushed Christopher around to the side it came off and at first I could only see a scratch, then Christopher gasped and I went to the other side of the car and my mouth dropped open at the sight of it!

But now it has to get fixed.

Snakes

2008-04-20T22:45:00.001-07:00

If you are scared of snakes and you are not in Australia come here! Some spiders eat snakes (small ones that is). But if you can't move here always keep a stick or a first aid kit around if there are lots of snakes where you live. If you live in Australia do this anyway just incase! He, he. If you love or like snakes good for you but you had also better do this just incase. I love snakes and I keep a stick and first aid kit near bye.

Gingerbread Train

2007-12-25T20:25:00.000-08:00

For Christmas, my cousin Emma, my brother Christopher and I got a Gingerbread Train kit from our Great Aunty Lesle and our Great Uncle Col. On Boxing Day, Emma and I made it with the help of my Mum Tamara. We started off with heaps of little pieces. Then we made the icing and put the icing into the icing bag we borrowed from Granny. The icing bag was hard to use so we let mum do the icing (even she was struggling.)

Emma did the train and I did the carriage. Then we chose all of our pieces according to the box. Then we got the bases and stuck everything on with icing. It was great FUN!

By Emma and Catherine.

Mulberry Ice cream

2007-10-01T18:51:00.000-07:00

When my cousin Emma came over we invented a recipe. It is called mulberry ice cream.

Recipe for mulberry ice cream:

1. Put 5 scoops of vanilla ice cream into a bowl.
2. Buy or pick about 12 mulberries.
3. Mix until ice cream is purple.
4. If it is not sweet enough add some ribena.
5. Freeze it and if the ice cream was made about midday it should be ready about 6:30 p.m.

It should feed about 3 children.

Australia Zoo

2007-09-24T17:56:00.000-07:00

My family and I went to the zoo and I fed an elephant named Siam.

On the latest holidays Emma came up...again and we went to the zoo with mum/Aunty Tamara and it was great!
I got my picture taken next to a wedged tail eagle, we watched the eliphants going to the eliphant show in single file (a line). I suported the tigers because they are almost extinct and beacuse I love them, Emma and I played in the sprinklers they have there and found two rainbows, next we bought ice creams. Emma bought a lenyard, I bought a wrist band saying..."wildlife warrier", then we went home.
We had SO much fun that day!

Sanitarium

2007-09-17T16:41:00.000-07:00

In my schoolwork, I had a technology unit and I had to create a toy that made kids eat healthier. I came up with the idea of a "Snack-o-saur". It is sort of like a lunch box and it has an opening head you put health bars inside it. The names are Brachio-snak, Raptor-snak, Diplodo-snak, Tricero-snak, Tyranno-snak.

Once I thought of the idea, my dad thought that it would be good if we actually tried to make it so we sent a letter to Sanitarium Health Foods saying that we would like you to make up a health food bar and make the toys. They sent me a letter back saying that they sent it on to the product manager and sent me this shirt.

Bookshelf Disadvantages and Advantages

2007-08-07T20:52:00.000-07:00

My dad made these beautiful bookshelf for us and painted them white.
Then he put them into place, but alas. He realised he made one of them too high! So he now has to fix it. (To bad for him).

Now he's fixed them and they look great. He also put the books n the shelfs and like I said it looks great!

Birthday delight

2007-08-06T18:34:00.000-07:00

On the weekend my family and I went to my granny's house for her 70th birthday and my cousin Emma was up there! I had not seen her for what seemed like ages and it felt great to see her again.

we played a computer game called the SIMS CITY and it is so cool.
The night after that it was granny's birthday and who would of thought she was turning 70!
We went to Sizzler a restaurant for dinner and granny opened her gifts from us there. My family and I gave granny a very pretty purple photo album and a book of photos of our whole family.

Emma and I also played this American dragon game on the internet.

when we had to leave I tried to take Emma with us but mum and dad didn't allow it so we had to leave without Emma.

Leisa and Joel

2007-07-24T20:53:00.001-07:00

Aunty Leisa is my aunty who lives in America and Joel is my cousin who lives with aunty Leisa and his dad. They visited us recently but they are back in America now. They only come and visit every 2 or 3 yrs. Joel and I email though and thats a good thing. We are also starting to skype, but we have not done any today.

Joel is 14 turning 15 this year and the next time I see joel and Leisa Joel will be about 17 or 18!

I would say 2 or 3 years is to long for me, but like I said we email each other.

Deadly and Dangerous

2007-07-15T21:10:00.000-07:00

Some rays have kidney-shaped organs on each side of their backbone. When touched, or while hunting pray, the rays body can discharge an electric currant that can reach 220 volts! Electric rays move slowly and usually lie in sand or mud.
They stun prey such as small fish, crabs, and worms. The electric current passes through the water, and the human victim of an intense shock may be knocked out, or lose the use of their limbs and risk drowning.

Spiders inject venom into their pray through hollow fangs. The venom kills small victims. It also breaks down their body tissues into liquid, so the spider can suck them up.

The Blue-ringed Octopus, the deadliest octopus in the world is found along Austrailas rocky shorelines.

Bedtime

2007-07-05T02:40:00.000-07:00

My new bed has finally been installed, and I can finally sleep in a proper bed. The last few days I've been sleeping on my matres on the floor but now I can sleep in my bed.

My bed in our last house was a lot like my new one now, the only difference is the ladder, the height and the desk. My new one now has ladders on both sides and they have longer gaps it also has a desk and chair that come with it, and it is shorter.

My actual bedtime is eight O' clock p.m!

Train Station

2007-07-02T19:18:00.000-07:00

If you go down to the Mooloolah town you will see a train station, go onto the platform, sit down on a seat and wait a few minutes and a train will go past, wait another few minutes and another train will go past!

I went down to the train station today with dad and waited for a train witch we thought had our friend on it but unfortunately it didn't. So our poor friend was late but he caught a bus and a taxi to the train station, and finally we took him home with us.

He gave us three gifts, a box of extra long and extra thick matches, a flower and for mum and dad a bottle of wine with a pretty purple ribbon on it. (I now have that ribbon on my bike).

We gave him a nice lunch and then he had to leave!

Fern City

2007-07-01T19:37:00.000-07:00

My Dad and I are creating a Fern Farey Fen with a corner of our block of land. There is an opening of trees and you walk inside and you fell just wonderful,when you look there is a huge cloud of ferns surrounding your feet.When you look down you see a deep gully,when you look up you see tall trees.
Dad is making a table,chairs,plates and cups out of wood for fern faerys!

Hi, my name is Catherine.

This is my first time to start up a blog and I am only nine years old.

This is a photo of my dad and I on our electric scooter. Electric scooters are very expensive machines but are definitely worth it!

Our garden is huge because we own 2 acres of land including our house.

I am being home schooled for a year because we

just moved house for the first time since I was 2 years old.

Here is a picture of our family cat named Hermione fast asleep falling off the couch.

Hermione is a very funny cat because of lots of things but I will only tell you one thing. This morning I was dragging a piece of string along the ground past the cat and she chased it but when I did it again she ran away with her tail puffed up!
