Mother's Day 2010

The day started with a lovely card from Timothy suggesting this day should be called Nadia Day - I like that.

Elizabeth gave me a heap of vouchers:
Free free breakfast in bed
One free talk in bes
One free dishwashing
Five free breakfasts
20 free hugs
One free car wash
One free coffee
Free endless LOVE

I used the breakfast in bed immediately and was treated to homemade scones.

Still in bed, I coached Elizabeth into loading the washing machine.

Treated to another coffee in bed (didn't even have to use a voucher)

I have a GREAT family, treating me to a great Mother's Day.

Car crashes

Yesterday Elizabeth and I played with her lego car. We pushed it off objects in the play room. Once we had done 6 objects we would modify the car. Thanks Elizabeth it was really fun

Yay, KFC for breakfast

Today is Elizabeth's 9th birthday and accordingly she can pick what we eat today.
As a result we had KFC for breakfast.

Thanks Sweetie, I'm looking forward to the rest of the meals.

Back 2 School

Yep we're back to normal here in our house in Milford which is in Auckland which is in New Zealand (And it goes on and on and on)
We(the kids) are back to school
And them(Mummy and Daddy)are back to work

The Bridge

Last week I went over the bridge a record of 16 times!
This week I'm going to break my record of going under the bridge which is twice.
YAY!

Nadia's Birthday

Today is Nadia's birthday!

Holiday

Week 1 is nearly over. I'm just going to recap what has happened over the week.
Monday-Easter Monday. Just stayed home.
Tuesday-Cricket clinic for me and Elizabeth went to Clip & Climb. We were both on the same road on this day!
Wednesday-Same for me. Elizabeth goes to Waiwera. This time we were several kilometers away from each other.
Thursday- Cricket clinic. One of the Auckland Aces came half way through. We had a game which was adults vs kids. We kids lost harshly. I'd say I was the best player for the kids in that game because I took the catch which had gotten them out. (The other one was out retired). I also was the only one who was unfortunate to lose his wicket. My partner ran me out X(.
Elizabeth went to bake cookies at the YMCA. Once all of us were home we went to the airport to celebrate Mummy & Daddy being in New Zealand for 12 years!
Friday-Mini camp for both Elizabeth and I. I learned from the experience of the hobo stove is to never smoke.
Saturday (Today) - Patrick and I go see the Blues take on the Stormers.

Easter Egg

Yesterday afternoon Elizabeth presented me with an Easter Egg.
"I have a gift for you" she said.
I said: "Thanks, that's nice, don't you want it?"
"No" she replied "I've taste it and I don't like it."

THANKS, Elizabeth!

Shore to Shore

Last Sunday we did the Shore to Shore Fun Run/Walk.
The game plan: Boys will run, Girls will walk.
Boys finished 0:56:00
Girls finished 1:09:00

I think if they had beer at the finish we might have made better times but as this is a children's event we had to make do with an ice cream at the finish.

Last day of school!

Today is...
The last day of school!
This is the Easter holidays so happy Easter!
Poor Patrick is the only one who doesn't get leave.
ag shame

I'm growing up

Its the holidays soon so its the YMCA soon.
This time Timothy's doing his cricket and mummy and daddy can't take leave.
I'm stuck at the Y by myself.
I'm scared:O
But at least Laura (My friend) will be there:D

Wiggly tooth

I've got another wiggly tooth at 5:30 this morning.
I hope its not just my body's way of doing a joke on me.

April fools day!

A very happy April fools day to all!

Brille en Pille

It's official, I'm growing up, actually it's worse, I'm getting old.

On Tuesday, despite putting it off as long as possible, I got some reading glasses. Have to admit, it's made a big difference, but that does not mean I like it.

I don't think I'm ready to post a picture yet.

Milford vs Takapuna

This afternoon milford school's A team played Takapuna's cricket team.

This is how I remember it.

Mitchel falls for a duck after lasting only a few balls.
I come to meet Lawrence at the crease.
The rain stops play for 3 minutes.
We come back to the field.
Lawrence gets bowled after trying really hard to bring up his 20. (The number we had to retire on)
Finn comes to the crease.
I hit a six in the long off area.
I get a single and went off to an applause.(I got 20 :D)
Finn gets run out after his partner hits a ball straight to the bowler it comes off his had and onto the stumps. (How unlucky)
Nick hits a few good shots and Andrew couldn't hit anything :(
Innings comes to an end.

Finn takes a wicket on the first ball of the innings.
Danger man Cullem comes to the crease.
Cullem doesn't last long and gets dismissed in the next over.
The partnership lasts fairly long but finally ends.
I come on to bowl my only over.
Most balls were full tosses but the one that bounced was caught. :D

End of game:D

The winner is Milford.
We won by around 70 runs!:D

Cricket tournament

A couple of weeks ago was the cricket tournaments.
Mine was the last one on a Friday.
Heres how it went:

Arrived at school early put my bag down.
Noticed my hat wasn't in my bag and had to go through room 2 to get it.
Got into the car with my bag and set off.
When there realized in wrong parking lot.
Ran across the field and arrived at correct field.
Did some practice in the nets.(Constantly being told to keep my arm straight)
Patrick watched the first game even though I didn't bat:(
Second game won again.
Third game got hit in the forehead while batting. :(
Still won.
Sausage sizzles during lunch bought some of the other kids some too.
Game against our rival team (Cambells bay school)
Got hit in the forehead again.
Lost our 1st match.
Beat another school.
Came 4th in the finals.

Februarys news

Back to school on the 4th :(
Elizabeth learns to play cricket :D
Elizabeth starts to play the guitar XD
Starting to ride bikes to school :)
Elizabeth and Timothy beat Drawn To Life.

Thats the main details of February

Win number 2

Yes we did it! We finally won our 2nd cricket game of the year!

I opened the batting (as usual) but not with my regular partner.

I felt fairly disappointed with my batting only scoring 15 runs.

My bowling on the other had was back and up to form but I took no wickets.

Good news is that I didn't get much runs conceded off my bowling.

One more wicket keeper catch was good after the batsman was getting a few lucky top edges over my head so I was glad to take the catch.

The rest of the team played really well as well and that is what helped us win by 11 runs.

Go Fish

A while ago we were given some freshly caught snapper. Nadia cooked it for us and it was lovely.

The next day while driving somebody mentioned that the fish was great.

Patrick: And to think, yesterday morning it was happily swimming around in the sea.

Nadia: Ag shame

Patrick: Maybe it was his birthday.

We drove home in silence.

Another Close One

Today we had another cricket match.
We lost the toss and were put in to bat.
I was in first.
Me and my partner scored 42 runs together in the six overs we could bat in.
I scored 26 and my partner scored 16.
In my bowling I got 3 wickets and didn't concede many runs of my bowling.
I took two catches when I was wicket keeping.
I got an edge that just went straight into my gloves.
The other one was also and edge that went up.
I had to dive to reach it and only just got it.
In the end I scored the most runs and I was part of 5 out of the 15 wickets we took

One day I was once again playing cp(Club penguin)When I met sirlemons and went to his iggy for a party.

ALSO SEE PART 1 At http://vaughan-nz.blogspot.com/2008/01/sir-lemons.html

My heads spinning!

Today while going home from KFC i said Timothy was Mr.T (the guy whose hair is the greatest in the world) So he said "SHUT UP FOOL!" And that was the start of me going completely bonkers!
I LAUGHED HARD CORE! He kept on doing or saying funny stuff. when we got home mummy said to go fetch the mail (Like a dog or something :) While walking down the drive I felt my RIGHT armpit. I WAS SWEATING! As a result when back I said "I think I know where my laugh box is"
The replier said"Where?" "In my RIGHT armpit" "Why there?" "BECAUSE I WAS SWEATING"
That totally got me into a Jolly girl again.


And i hope you have a merry jolly Christmas!

The life of a Year 4 student

I just noticed my life is getting harder being a YEAR 4 student. And being in a class with year 3s makes us year 4s expected to be good roll models. Which a Year 4 named Marcel is not good at. Hes always complaining about hating Mrs Smith(my teacher) Not a good roll model. Last week while doing topic I was sitting near the bookshelf our student teacher(Mrs Leevers) said to get our topic books the next moment I found myself trying to squirm out from under Marcel. This left me bruised badly. Never told on him probably never will. You should pay more attention to Nicole (A female year four student like me) She is always sitting nicely and gets her work done nice and fast with good presentation. Theres also people in the middle like Alex she is a good girl and lets other people take the heat when getting in trouble good role model but could be better. As gotten on the sad face( Something what bad kids go on and spend some morning tea or lunch inside) But has also been on the Super stars (the opposite of the sad face) So yeah I'd say this is a good class to be in ignoring Marcel.
