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!

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

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

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

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.

More Bookshelf Problems

I bet you are getting so sick of gingerbread train! Anyway dad was making more bookshelfs and even painted them. But alas again it didn't fit because there is a light swich were dad has to put the bookshelfs! So he has to fix that. But I think he will work it out soon! Horay!
See ya later.

Gingerbread Train

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!
