Christmas Time

I simply love Christmas time. Everyone puts up their Christmas tree, put lights around their houses, go Christmas shopping, and all those other things.

We don't put Christmas lights around our house, but we have a big Christmas that we decorate with lights, tinsel, and lots of different decorations. Everyone loves it when we put up our Christmas tree.

Every year a few nights before Christmas we all go for a drive after dinner and look at all the Christmas lights. 

On Christmas eve, we go to our church for the Christmas eve service, where Grace, Elise and I play Christmas carols for the church. When we get home and get ready for bed, we make jokes I make jokes with my two brothers that in the middle of the night we'll get up and open our presents to see what we've got, then rap them up again as if we never even touched them.

On Christmas morning, all our brothers and sisters ( apart from Elise) get up really early to look at all the presents under the Christmas tree, though we try really hard not to look at the tags, otherwise depending on who it's for, we try and guess what it is.

Then finally once our mum, dad and Elise a out of bed, we open all the presents. Then we have bacon and eggs for breakfast. For the rest of the day we enjoy our presents or go down to our grand parents house and spend the day there.

So that is what we do at Christmas time.

Cricket

Grace and I play cricket as a summer sport. We played last year, and our team was hopeless. We only won one game. We have a better team this year though. We play in the u/12s age group.

Each game goes for two weeks, each team gets a 40 over innings. We have twenty over innings each Saturday. Our neighbour plays on our team and his dad coaches the team.

Another rule in the u/12s cricket is you need to retire in the first innings to be able to bat in the second innings.(Unless you don't get a bat in the first innings)  You either have to get 25 runs or bat for 10 overs to retire. I have retired in every game. I have only taken two wickets this season, but I'm not a bad blower.

Australia has good cricket team too, one of the best in  the world.

The Phantom Tollbooth

Lately I have been reading "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. It is about a boy called Milo who finds everything boring and a waste of time, he finds a parcel in his room which he open and it becomes a tollbooth and a car, he drives through the tollbooth with his car and.....I won't tell you any more if you want to read it.

I would give the book a 4/5 stars. I recommend you read it

Little house on the prairie

 My family love the TV series made in 1974 called "Little House On The Prairie" It is based on a girl called Laura. we have brought every season up to seven. They are very different to the books but they are such a great family movie.

Most of it is directed by Micheal Landon who plays Pa, Karen Grassle as Ma, Mellissa Sue Anderson as Mary, Melissa Gilbert as Laura, and Sideny Greenbush as Carrie.

We are in the middle of season seven, so far it has all been great.

There we are, all fixed

I fixed it!!!!

These are some crazy pictures our Dad sent home from work.

Dust storm

On Wednesday we had a dust storm come through from the bottom of NSW. It was horrible, I had to stay inside due to my asthma. It was really weird because everything look orange and the sun and it's light was blue, it all just looked weird. But in away it was quite fun.

These are pictures from Sydney.

As you can see from the pictures it was pretty bad. Although it wasn't as bad where we live as it was in Sydney. We have already had another dust storm since Wednesday.
