Babysitter

Hi everyone,
On Monday my auntie Miranda baby-sat me because my mum went to a Britney Spears concert.

That day me and Nathalie went to Cub Scouts.
Nana dropped us off and our friends mum picked us up.

For dinner we ate rice and chicken.

When it was time for bed we couldn't sleep.
Especially me!
I just couldn't sleep. :(
I finally went to sleep.

I thought my auntie Miranda was going to sleep at are house but she didn't.

In the morning I woke up at 6:00.

I had a lot of fun that night.

This is my auntie Miranda.

Western Australia Project

This term at school I had a project about Australia.
I got to choose somewhere I wanted in Australia. I
chose Western Australia.
With my project there was a speech also.
My speech was about Wave Rock.
I chose Wave Rock because the rock is shaped like
a huge wave - now that's cool.
Wave Rock is found in Western Australia.
My speech was supposed to go for 2 minutes but it
took 1 minute 57 seconds.

And this is my speech:

Wave Rock is an amazing rock that is shaped like a giant surf wave that is about to break! It is found in Western Australia, 3 kilometres from the town of Hyden. But you can also visit Wave Rock as a day trip from Perth. Scientists think Wave Rock might be 27 million years old. The rock is made of red & grey Granite strips. It has brown-black algae streaks running down it. The colour of Wave Rock changes at different times during the day as the light changes. In springtime there are beautiful wildflowers around the rock too, so it's a lovely place to visit! The wave is 15 metres high and 100 metres long. The Wave Rock Weekender is a festival held at Wave Rock every year in September. This year's festival actually just finished on Monday. It's a music and camping festival. People can celebrate nature and music. In the same area as Wave Rock there are hundreds of other interesting rock formations. Some of the famous ones are called Hippos Yawn, The Humps, Camel Peaks and King Rocks. Another nearby place called Bats Cave has wonderful Aboriginal rock art. Since there are a lot of interesting attractions in this area that people like to visit, they built a coffee shop, a wildlife park, a copy Pioneer Town and a Wildflower Shop. If you ever get the chance to go to Western Australia, try to go and visit Wave Rock because it's a really amazing place.

A Month Of Parties

Its September, the Month with all the parties - well for me it is.
All of my friends birthdays are in September, even mine.
I think that is really fun. Wouldn't you? Again I think it is.
I went to a party today. It was really fun. The party girls name was Bronwyn.


A few days ago, I went to the party in the picture. The party was Maya's, my old friend. Its different to the party that I was talking about before.

This is me eating a little snack that I made at Maya's party, that I went to last week.

Tomorrow it will be my party. I'm really excited about it. I am now 8 years old.
I'm going to have a tropical party. There are thirteen people coming to my party.
We are going to have lots of treats at the party and lots of stuff in the party bags.

My 9th Birthday

On the 13th of July it was my birthday and I was turning 9. I spent my birthday travelling from Spokane to Seattle.

In Spokane I had a party with my grandma and grandpa. I chose my own cake and I chose my own ice cream. The ice cream was cookies and cream ice cream. At night I went back to Seattle and we went to the Rainforest Cafe. For dinner I had some chips and salsa and for dessert I got ice cream with cookies in it and the others got chocolate mousse with jelly snakes in it. Mummy put one of Patrick's jelly snakes in my ice cream.
At the Rainforest Cafe the people there sang happy birthday to me. In the Rainforest Cafe it tells you about things that are going on in the rainforest and its like the rainforest and they put toy animals inside and they move and look like they are real.

Airport

Today I'm at the airport. I am having fun. I'm going to America to see my cousins and my friends.

There's lots of people here at the airport. I'm using a free computer with internet from Optus. And I've only checked my email and my blog.

This is for my auntie Miranda because she cried last night because I said I was going to do some posts and I didn't and I felt sorry for her.

Damper Twist

~ A couple of weeks ago I made Australian camp fire bread called damper.
I made it into a damper twist!~

This is the recipe

1 cup of self raising flour. a pinch of salt. a blob of butter. 1 teaspoon of sugar. 3/4 cup of milk.

• Then mix it all together.
• Now put it on a stick
• Wrap it up in foil.
• then put it over the fire.
• when you put it over the fire,
  turn it round, round and round again but don't do it too fast.
• when you think it`s good enough to eat you can check it
  and if it looks well cooked enough to eat you can eat it.

Mine tasted really good with butter on it! But you can put other stuff on it too.

ALEXA'S SPECIAL DAY

Last weekend I had this joey scout fun day on. But Nathalie went too. Even though she is in cubs. But I didn't care. Anyway, when I saw the games I was really exited. When we were playing the games it was really fun. By the way you have to wear costumes about flight because flight is the theme and so I wore an astronaut costume which I hired.

There was also a competition and I entered it. It was a competition where you have to design a badge to do with Flight. If you win you get your badge made into a real scout badge. It will be a blanket badge. Anyway I designed a aeroplane badge.

You won't believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won!!! so everyone who went got my badge.

This is me with my astronaut costume on.

This is me on these upside-down twister bars.

Here I am receiving my award.

Pet Rock Competition

A few weeks ago or you will probably say a month ago, I had a competition at my school. It was called Pet Rock Day and you have to design your own pet rock.

To do that you have to get a rock. Then you have to get all these little decorations. Then you have to decorate the rock with the decorations. At the end you have this fantastic pet rock!!!!!!!!!!!


Well by the way, I entered the competition. I had to chose a theme out of these categories - Ugliest, Weirdest, Prettiest and Scariest but there was also a teacher's category. I chose Ugliest. The next day I found out that I won first place in the competition. I was so exited when I heard! For my prize I got a pencil case and some crayons. Here is a picture of my pet rock.

The Tuna Fish Avalanche

Hi this is Nata.
A couple of weeks ago I was at Harris Farm Markets and Patrick was eating an Easter Egg
and mummy told me to go and go put Patrick's Easter Egg wrapper in the bin. So I did it. When I was coming back I stopped for a second and all of sudden BANG! A HUGE crate of tuna cans fell all over the floor and down on me. The managers had to come and pick it up and they looked at me like I did it, but didn't do it! But at least I was okay. Thank you for reading!

My Calvin Klein Underwear

When I was little, I got Calvin Klein underwear. I loved it so much. One day I was moving to Australia. When I did, I left my Calvin Klein underwear in America. I had to call my dad and ask him to bring it to me. When he brought it to Australia I wore it every day. One day I forgot to wear it so my sister wore it. It was too small for my sister. POP! My sister popped a hole in it. I was really sad when I heard, but then I got new underwear so I was happy again. But I still have my Calvin Klein underwear in a drawer.

Pictures of my pet fish Plankton

These are some pictures of Plankton my fish.

Inside of his tank there are some plants and Plankton has made a bubble nest on top of the water because he wants to have babies.

If I get another fish that is a boy I will name it Oscar.

Plankton is my FAVOURITE fish ever!

The coolest fish ever

Before Christmas I entered a coloring contest at the pet shop. I won a Siamese fighting fish. Every time it goes near something it turns that colour .Its main colours are Red, Blue, green and purple. It is very beautiful. His name is Plankton.
