Friday night Deloraine Ward held a Games Night. It was full of table tennis, fooseball, volley ball, cards, pictionary and a few other games. Leia and I amused ourselves with this game called Kerplunk for most the night. It is THE best game invented ... after pictionary ... sorry Leia. :P
At the start you put all the little sticks through the holes to make it blocked up (we raided the YW cupboard to get skewers because we'd lost all the sticks it came with) ,then put all the marbles on top. Then take turns pulling the sticks out trying not to get any marbles to fall. Its so fun!! Then after a long time we got bored and made up heaps of other games out of it. Its awesome!!How cools this? We took some action pictures of the marbles falling down. :)
And this is the coolest one. The marble got STUCK in between the skewers. It was so cool.
Then the little kids came and took over. :( The little Rouse and Wilson kids are so cute. Jacqueline Rouse is beatuful. And Thomas and Natasha's boys are so cute!!
If anyone knows Leia, you'll know its nearly impossible to take a picture of just her. She just tries everything to dodge the camera. But I got her just before she ducked behind the kids. =) It was so much fun!!



believed it if it said 'The Meander Valley' or
'The Examiner'.
COON Money!! =)
I'm only in Grade 8 so I picked the fun subjects this year such as Drama! My favourite teacher Norma teaches it and she is the most legendary teacher. Her name is Norma Laterveer, we have to call her Mrs Laterveer when the principals around otherwise its just Norma. Shes old, short and only ges grumpy if you don't listen to her.
Earlier on we spent months organising a play on abuse. We were given $2000 for a class of 18 students to buy clothes or props for the play from Relationships Australia. I got a cool jacket from Supre for it. After performing the play 3 times we got to keep our clothes and have a small party. It was heaps of fun doing it. Scary but fun.
Meg and Jack sorta show how good this class is.
Last weekend our family went to stay at Lake St Clair. We all had Friday off to prepare and by 12 we were ready to go. Its about a 2 hour drive along windy roads and mostly a dirt road which was no fun and made us all feel a bit sick. (Except Dad, he loves it.) Once we got there we settled in our little cabin then explored a bit along Lake St Clair. It was such a realxing weekend and Georgia and I managed to keep our distance and not argue. :) Here's my Hairy Daddy. Where he goes, so does the guitar.

Jordan took every opportunity he could to try and catch a fish. He wore the most awesome sunnies that are like magic or something because they help you see the fish. He ended up catching two later that night. A small one and big one apparently. No proof because he couldn't bring them home because there was no where to cook them but I believe him.

The further we went on the more snow there was and we were all pretty happy when it came to snow that was knee deep. It was fun for a while walking in thick snow but once the novelty worn off it was annoying. I was in lead most of the time. =) But at one stage I led my family astray and started taking them up Mount Rufus. Luck Dad has a sense of direction and soon pointed us the right way. It was pretty scary though. One wrong turn and we could have been in a fair bit of danger.




Driving home wasn't too bad even though Dad loves going around every curv. We had to stop lots because I'm no good at filming and Dad would get out his camera and film The Great Lake, and anything that looked good. I'd love to put some of the footage on here but blogger won't let me. But its really cool. It was a really nice weekend! =)
After going to the bluff and everything we went home. Sam and I went on a bike ride. =) *One day Sam and I are going to buy a tandom bike* While we went riding Jordan and Jack played basketball. After a while Eden and Steph came over with the kids to see if we could babysit Chloe that night. Eden played some basketball with the boys and Chloe wanted to stay and play basketball but kept getting in their way. We went over and baby sat, watched Coach Carter on the big TV. Chloe wouldn't go to bed so she stayed up and played with us. =) After babysitting we jumped over the fence to our place and rugged up in lots of clothes. We took our picnic blanket and walked up to the hill behind our house. We laid under the stars and talked and mucked around. Took some pretty cool pictures. =) Jordan and I went back to the house to grab more blankets while Sam and Jack tried to play a trick on us - Move with the blanket. All we had to do was shine the torch and we could see the blanket. It was pretty funny.
and went down to the bluff. After we ate Mum
went and sat in the car to read her book. :)
Thanks again Mum. We played on the beach for
a while, about an hour or more.
Sam and Jordy.
Me, chillin' out on rock. =)
'Oh Dear, the tide is a little higher.'
I took this picture, I thought it was cool. A whole
beach and these three are all doing their own thing
in a small part of the beach.
by setting the camera timer and making Jack run
down the rocks, across the water and onto the
bigger rock. This is one of our attempts ...
singers, its hard to get them to shut up. :)
