night 1

AAAAARRRRGH

That was not my impression of an angry pirate. It was me wondering WHY MY parents do not get me at all

I was not being rude or ungrateful when I made a simple suggestion at dinner. Mom was talking about everything she needs to buy for Thanksgiving and I made the very helpful suggestion that maybe Grandma Maxwell shouldn’t be in charge of bringing the pies this year.I mean come on Last year she didn’t have any cinnamon for her pumpkin pie so she used chili powder instead I am still traumatized

night 2

But then my mom snapped And WHO is supposed to make the pies  Nikki me I already have to make the turkey and stuffing and potatoes and green beans and...

look  I know my mom has a lot on her plate Thankfully I had another super helpful suggestion ready I’ve been seeing commercials for weeks that Pie’s the Limit is having a special of 3 take and bake pies for only $49.99 I even knew which three we should get

But that got my mom off on a rant about how money doesn’t grow on trees

and then Brianna started hollering about how cake is better than pie and finally my dad interrupted everyone to say he had a simple solution.

night 3

Let me just tell you right now that his solution was not as simple as mine

My dad said I should be in charge of making the pies That I am old enough to take some responsibility And I had to give him a list by the morning of whatever supplies I need

ugh So I went to research pie making options and got super overwhelmed and then Chloe called. She was so excited  when I told her my problems. Apparently her family’s Thanksgiving was suddenly cancelled because her Uncle Carlos has a mysterious illness and can only eat celery and chicken broth for the next week and no one wants to make him feel bad by devouring a big meal in front of him.

night 4

 I guess Chloe had big pie plans for her family so she’s heading over here today with all the supplies. Then tomorrow we're going to make the pies together I called Zoey to see if she could come too but she has a family thing.

With Chloe’s help this might actually be fun

Netball

Netball

I play netball at Campbell Park every Saturday morning. When I went there it was freezing cold and fog came out of my mouth, So we ran around the courts to get warmed up. BEEP!! the bell rings it's time to go on. I pass, catch, run and shoot and I do everything I can to be a good netball player.

I passed the ball to Jemma and Jemma passed it to Ella who shoots from far back.

The bell rings again for half time we go and have a quick drink and swap positions.

When the game was finished the coach announces the player of the day. I was so sweating  that I tipped my drink bottle over my head!

“That netball game was amazing” I said to my dad. I couldn't wait until next weekend.

Ella's birthday!!

Ella's birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA!!!!! I yelled as I hopped out of  the car,The first thing we did was open presents. She was  screaming with joy as she opened them!

The music was cranking loud and we all started dancing like CRAZY!!!! Ella prepared the cool party food such as: marshmallows,pineapple chips and more. We made a play together and Jemma was the judge. Then we had cake and I face planted in it (on purpose!) it was time to go to bed at 11:00.  We swapped beds heaps of times. In the end I slept with Emma  and on the half flat airbed. When we woke up we had breakfast ella and I did a funny dance and showed the other girls.

Did you know that hub 2 moved into the hall? I’m sure you do. There are 75 kids in the hall so some days we work well, and some days we don’t because we are still getting used to it. So I am going to tell you what I like and don’t like.

Sometimes in the hall it's a bit of a challenge for me because with 75 kids it can be loud and I can get distracted with all my friends talking to me. Also I am just learning how to be a self aware learner, so I can get a bit distracted sometimes.

But mostly it's pretty good in the hall.  I really like how we can work with a buddy or by ourselves or even in a group if we want to.  We also get to choose where we want to work and we also get to choose what furniture we sit on.  I like to learn by sitting on the stools and the tables and I get to do this in the hall which is cool.  

You might think we would be distracted by the digger ripping down the class room but once you shut the door it's quiet. You can't hear a thing.

So overall I am really enjoying being in the hall and I am sad that I won’t get to be in the new classrooms.
