Conventions and Lice

I made a echidna sort of thing.  I used a ball, pieces of paper, google eyes, a bracelet, and tape.  It's in a circle, so you tape the piece of paper onto the bracelet (and it has a paper clip), and you tape the tail on too, and then you tape the google eyes on and the paper clip on, you turn one of the google eyes upside down, and then you made it.  I'll put a picture on here.

And I made a smacker-ma-jigger.  It is made out of clothespins, a hairband, a pencil, and tape.  And you can hit people with it, when you are very mad -- but I don't do that.  

And, I had lice.  I HATED the treatment.  And it smelled like very very gross perfume and you couldn't breathe, so you needed to put snorkle goggles on yourself and since you couldn't breathe, it's like onions.

 

The Hot Day

Today was a very hot day. And it was even hot in the houses. When we got out of my friends' house, I RAAAAN to the car to get some very cold air. But the car wasn't cold, the tram stop wasn't cold, and even the house wasn't cold! Since we don't have air conditioning, so my mom needed to use this large fan from Casey's room. Today it was 43 celsius which is 108 fahrenheit.

Itching and Earrings

This week I have been really itchy and I visited my own school and it turns out that my teacher will be Lou.  And the other teacher for Year One is Prue.  And we already met the principal.  And she was really nice.  

All of my other earrings have been getting my ears infected so we needed to buy new earrings and these earrings don't hurt at all and they are really easy to turn and there is none of them in America, but there is a spray-on antibacterial thing for ears and I like it a lot.

And I met some girls at the park that are gonna be in my class and I didn't like them at all.  (I was going to say hate, but Nancy would be mad.) 

The Windy Day

At the beach, it was sooo windy, there was a place where you go down and there were little holes so the ocean can be big and can splash your feet so we had fun on that.  It was our first family bike ride, since my mom got a bike, but she didn't like it so we needed to go back home, then go to the bike shop and my dad rode on my mom's bike, and my mom drove us and it was my mom's first drive in Australia without a grownup in the car.

We were going to the beach and there were lots of dogs at the beach, it was like a dog beach, and I was trying to make the boogie board go down, but the rocks didn't really do anything, but then a dog came up to me and he was just standing there.  And it was 8 o'clock at night and it was as crowded as the middle of the day, and it was so hot that people needed to bring their dogs, since the dogs would go under the water then shake it out with the person.  We tried to go to the milk bar, but the milk bar was closed (a milk bar is a somewhere where you buy ice cream and milk and candy).  

Mango

A few days ago, we bought a HUMUNGOUS mango and it was really ripe and we bought it from the Farmer's Market, which was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and the mango was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.  And it was on all of my face and it was soooo good.  And that was my story about me enjoying mango.

At the mall, we were shopping at the Pumpkin Patch, which was the name of the store and I got to buy 2 pair of pants, we bought one tank top, and another t shirt and boots.  Here is a picture of me wearing some of my new clothes.

Our next door neighbor a few houses down, this person she liked Dylan's mom [Pamela Anderson], and they had a huge house and they put a picture of whatever her name was and it is shaped in a blue picture and that was really cool.  And I took the picture while we were driving by.

Phillip Island

I went to Phillip Island AGAIN and this time, I slept at Beth's and Luke's house for 2 nights. And the pillows were so hard. I don't know why but when I was sleeping I needed a big pillow but I didn't have one so I had to fold up the flat pillow.

And we went to the beach and it was warm and so wavy that Casey and one of his friends they got pushed over by a wave. My dad, Dave, and Beth were doing a jog run, and I wanted to come but I wanted to ride my bike, but I was the one which was in front, since I was riding my bike so fast it seemed on a bike they were running so slow. And there was only one cafe at Phillip Island, and I bike rided there, and we went to get banana bread and we went to get milk shakes and they were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

And at Phillip Island too well we saw a echidna in the bushes and it was black and white and it was really cool, but my mom didn't know where the camera was so we couldn't take a picture of it. And my brother thought it was 2 echidna since it was so big. And that is the end of my story at Phillip Island.

Fairy Bread

I saw kiteboarders and there were 20 of them and like a lot of them they like got on a big wave and then they did a huge jump. And I think they jumped 2o feet and I was riding home from the beach and we just stopped to watch kiteboarders.

And we went to a island, it took 2 hours. And we got to stay in the hotel and my neck hurt so much, every time I turned to the right my neck started hurting and we had lots of fun and we stayed SO long. And it rained at the beach so I tried to get under the towels and not let my body get wet.

And there is such a food named musk sticks and Aero and Freckles. And there was a thing called choc mud scones which are sort of like chocolate muffin things, and I liked them very much. And my favorite thing was a finger bun -- it is fairy bread. Fairy bread is some puffy bread and it has icing and it has sprinkles. It is sort of like a donut except it is not a circle.
