Monday last week (24th Jan) was a quiet day at home. (I think we probably played uno, etc!)
On Tuesday we went to the Auckland Museum, uggh (no I don't like museums lol!). It was kinda cool to see the native New Zealand bats though! (for those of you who don't know, I did a lot of study on bats a few years ago, and won 1st = in the Auckland Home Educator's Science and Technology Fair - in the observation category).
And they have four (live) rats in the children's section, which are so cute! One of the volunteers opened their cage while we were there too!!! lol
And that night we had athletics!!! - first night for the second half of the season. My age group (Girls 12+) did 100m, 200m, Discuss and High Jump.
We also found out that one of the coach's - a solo Dad of one son my age - had died earlier that day by electrocuting himself...so that kinda put a damper on things.
After athletics Dad took Bethany, another one of my friends - Rebekah, and I to a Cafe in Devonport for supper/dessert, after which we went for a walk along the waterfront.
Lol the cafe served hot chocolate in either a bowl or a glass, I decided to be adventurous and get the bowl! Which, of course, everyone else thought was a great joke. They kept teasing me about a straw not being big enough, and needing a garden hose ...etc...etc...etc...!
Wednesday was another quiet day at home, and that night Dad, Jarrod, Monique, Danielle, Diana and I went to athletics training while Mum took Bethany, Bryce and Maria to church.
Thursday morning we went to church at 11, and 7, and Anne Roos came over in between, while Mum went grocery shopping, and we watched a movie - Letters to Juliet, when the others got home we played uno before a quick dinner.
On Friday we went to the Sonnevelds' (homeschool friends) for afternoon tea. While there we tried target shooting (in the rain!) and yes, talked a lot.
Then it was dinner, and to church with Bethany and Uncle Pete at 7.
On the way back, we picked up the keys for work from Uncle Paul, but he wasn't sure if he had all the right ones, so we came home and got Dad's work keys, dropped me off, then Uncle Pete and Bethany went to work.
I then had to organise ironing..blah blah blah..and eventually got to bed just after midnight.

Athletics Fun Run
Hey!
On the 23rd of February this year, we had the 2009 - 2010 season Fun Run. This is when all us athletes find sponsors, then run as many laps of the 400m track as we can in one hour.
It results in many tired and sore people, but is heaps of fun!
We have the next fun run coming up on the 7th of December for the 2010 - 2011 season. Lots of training needed, i think!

To Wellington!!!
Hi!
On Tuesday 21st December, the Sonnevelds (homeshool friends - Suzanne, Ruth, Esther) came to pick up our 2 bird cages, guinea pigs, rabbit, and mice (x 6) with their trailer.
Most of the children went with them.
Mum and I went to the midwife, picked up chook chow, etc, and took Buttercup (rabbit) to the vet for his second Calisi (probably wrong spelling!!) virus vaccination, and have his eye checked at the same time, as it was white in the middle. As it turned out, he had a small ulcer on his eye, which they gave us some ointment for, which had to be applied twice a day.
Then we went out to the Sonneveld's house, and showed them how to clean the animal cages, and had lunch, etc...
Then... I can't remember exactly what we did, but we left their place, and carried on getting stuff ready so we could leave on Thursday.
On Wednesday, we packed everything into our bags, then I think I might have baked. That night we had dinner, then went to athletics training. After the other children were in bed we packed the van. Then I made rolls, and heaps of other food, and Mum and I packed it.
We went to bed really late that night, and got up at .... maybe...7:30am the next morning.
We organised last - minute things, and then piled into the van.
After dropping a key off to Uncle Paul so he could paint our bathroom while we were away, we were on our way! It was about 8:37 when we left I think.
We stopped in Taupo about 12, and the other children played on the playground, etc. Then we got back in the car and had lunch, and i did some maths, and read, etc.
We had a couple more stops for Petrol etc, then arrived at the campground at 4:47pm.
I was staying with my Nana, so we went up to her house, and unpacked all my stuff. Eventually Dad and Nana went to get Fish and Chips for dinner.
Mum went shopping, then when she got back I made a Mud cake and started 2 cheescakes.
The others went back to the camp about 10:30 - 11pm.
I wrapped the last of my presents while waiting for the mud cake to finish cooking, then went to bed.
I'll post about Xmas day next time,
CYA,

Weetbix tryathlon
Hey Everyone,
Well,
On December 9th, we got up REALLY early, okay, maybe not that early for some of you, i think it was about 7am.
We arrived at Mountford park just after 8:30am. The Rakete's (homeschool friends) were already there.
Music was loud while all the volounteers continued to set up for the Weet-bix Kids Tryathlon.
We set up gazebos, and unpacked nearly a whole van -load of STUFF, bikes, transition bags, sunscreen, pram, etc. It's amazing how much stuff you need for about 6 hours of fun!
We collected our race - packs (Weet-bix t-shirt, 'number' (for identification purposes), etc.), put our bikes in transition, then wandered around with friends while waiting for the tryathlon to start.
At 9:30 (?) Race briefing started - all the rules about the tryathlon(none of which are ever followed!) then we headed off to wherever we started from - swimmers getting into groups, then heading into the pool. I waited just outside transition with all the other cyclists. I waited for a little while (dunno how long) then hi - fived my friend Ruth, and ran off to my bike. Four laps around the track, then back into transition, exausted, and off to run, then I was finished!!!
On finishing, I was presented with a medal by Debbie Tanner(???did i get her name right???), a certificate, ASB drink bottle, and red weetbix cap.
Then we wandered around, ran through the blow-up all blacks maze race thing, and waited for prize -giving.
Prizegiving. We all sat down to draw on each other with vivids of various colours, while numbers wher called out, and we waited, hoping that someone we knew would get one of the 2 avanti bikes!! Unfortunately none of us got anything. =)
We then signed each others shorts, before running around like crazy, asking random people to sign our shirts (and picking up any free food we could!)
Then we took our bikes out of transition, had heaps of photo's taken, and tidied up before heading home. Oh, and i nearly lost one of my brand new jandels, only we found it in a rubbish bag one of the volounteers had.
THen, of course, Mum had to ruin everything (well almost) by not letting us go to athletics training, instead taking us to work (not that we went until after training had finished anyway) Grrr.
Here are some photo's:
