The Best Day Of My Life

It was a bright morning. The birds were singing and dad was fast a sleep. I just woke up when I heard a toilet flushing and a person's voice talking out from it. It was the sound of the sweet voice that mum use to speak. But she wasn't actually at home for ages. But it was her. I was really happy and I hugged as tight as I can. It was a new beginning!!!

First I went of waking my brother and sister. They all screamed and hugged my mother. Mum was so happy she almost cried!!!

Then mum opened the three suitcases she bring from Australia. We checked if there was presents and there was a BAG full of CANDY!!! Then there were two mini kangaroo bags with a adorable kangaroo stuck in the middle of the front. I found it really cute.

Next there was some hairbands that was braided with elastic bands. Mum said they were really strong and it was true. 

After that my brother got a towel for swimming also did my little sister. My brother got more like a colorful towel and my little sister got a pink bunny towel with bunny ears on top. They were so cute. I didn't get one because I already got one.

Once we had checked the suitcase we went outside to play in the sun. Mum and Dad went for a rest on the couch that we had in our garage. While the others went to play on the trampoline I practiced shooting with my netball and the hoop that my dad stuck on.

After a little while we got changed to our clothes for the day and I bought fish and chips to eat and enjoy. Dad bought coke and then we started eating.

At the end of the day we ate dinner and went of to sleep.

I was so glad that my mother had come back from Australia. It was like our family was going to split up but no thank goodness. :)

My Reflection

I had to first glue out bits of ripped paper, then trace out some shapes, cut out pictures from magazines, newspaper and calendars and lastly I used water paint and paint out some of the spaces.

FIREWORKS IN THE WEEKENDS!!

"BOOM, BAM, BOOM!" Yep that the sound of fireworks. Crackling about in the air. It all started when our cousins had arrived with a box of fireworks. We all jumped up and went to the backyard where a whole field ground was placed.

First of all we got prepared and then our big cousin got ready by getting the lighter and a box of fireworks. Meanwhile the others and I got on to the trampoline jumping up and down.

A little while later our cousin managed to get the lighter to work. She lit up the fireworks and BOOM it goes.

We had lots of colorful ones and huge spark ones. Then came my favorite one. I call it the shooting star. Why? Because it looks like millions of different stars. Some shoot up like shooting stars.

After that came the big fireworks. You know like the one that shoots up and explodes into colors. 

Well we had that one and it was amazing.

I was shocked but also scared so I lye down on the trampoline curled up. It almost gave me shivers or was it because it was cold. Well I did got the shivers.

We were at the last two fireworks. One was a color blast and the other one was a shooting star. It was really pretty!!!

Well it was time to end the day by cleaning.

I had so much fun. Now let me ask you a question. Did you light up fireworks? Was it fun?

Halloween!!!!

It was the last Day of the cold chilly month and children were hunting for Halloween treats. Witches and monsters, ghosts and pumpkins all around. While my little brother and sisters were eating their Halloween treats. I was ready to tell my whole of my journey through Halloween.

It all started at the shops with my dad. We were going to go and buy some masks for my little brother, sister and me. One of them was going to dress up as a ghost and the other one was a fairy and I well I was going to dress up as a witch as usual . Can you guess which is which?

Once we had gotten the costumes we had moved on with getting some treats for the kids who come in front of our house door. Then we went back home. I got dressed up as quick as I can then my sister said, " TIME TO GET READY! YAY YAY YAY."

As soon as my brother and sister got ready we went off with our Halloween baskets attached to our hands.

We first went to my sister's friend's house. It looked really spooky with all the signs on. And when we knocked, the door slowly crank open with a spooky sound coming from the back. As we waited a person came out from the door holding a basket of goodies. We said," Trick or Treat" and the lady gave back some candy. I got popping candy and well.. that all......

Next we went to our neighbors house. They had a small plate with fruity flavored candy. They gave us about 3 or 4 for each of us and then we left saying thank you.

At the end we went to about 8 houses and got our candy baskets get filled up with candy.

We went back home and enjoyed the rest of the day eating Halloween candy.

Did you had fun at Halloween and have you figured out which is which in the costume part? 

Well I had fun and I think it was fun doing Halloween!!
