Weekend with Mitchell

Mitchell and I did a lot of things this weekend. On Thursday afternoon, Mitchell and I rode bikes back and forth on his driveway. Then Mitchell's dad came and picked us up. We went to bed as soon as we got to his house. The next day, we played games with Alex, Mitchell's brother, and Alex's girlfriend. We played slapjack and checkers. Saturday, we went to a friend's house to help clean his pool and to visit. We rode bikes and jumped on the trampoline. On Sunday, we skateboarded. Then we went back to Mitchell's mom's house.

Love,

A night with Rachel

I came home to Rachels house. We were in a huge rush because it is Cubs night and Rachels Mum had to go to work. Rachel quickly did her chores and got into her cub uniform.

Whlie she was getting herself organised I visited with Rockie in his cage. We had quite a long chat about the weather and where we're from. He kept saying "Rachel" and "Quick".

I went to the Brightwater Cub pack. While I was there I played spotlight. We also listened to stories about the childrens holidays and they did some great skits.

I showed excellent manners at Rachels house so her Mum thought I deserved a certificate.

Beautiful Music

I went home with Dana today. She practiced on the piano. I liked the songs she played. They were very nice. Dana made sure that her dog did not get me. I am glad! Then we went outside.

Hail, Softball, and Water

Gabrielle and I were sitting on the couch looking out the window at a storm. Then, all of a sudden, hail started pouring down. We jumped up and ran to tell her sister Brianna.

The next day, Gabrielle and I were at softball practice throwing the ball. Then her coach Katie told her she was going to hit off a pitcher named Taylor. Gabrielle got her bat and helmet and went to home plate. Taylor pitched the ball and Gabrielle hit it into the outfield. She ran all the way to first and then to second. She got a double!

Today, Gabrielle and I had a water-balloon fight with Cameron. We threw four balloons at him and they splashed all over him.

Love,

Cardinal on holiday

Hi all,
It sounds like Kiwi is having a great time with you all.
I have been on holiday for the last 10 days and won't get to see all the class again until next Monday. I have spent a couple of days away with Mrs Williams this holidays. We went over to Takaka, about 2 hours away for a day trip with her children. We went to an animal farm, caught Salmon for tea and went to a beach for lunch. We had a great time but I'm looking forward to catching up with all the childrens adventures.

Will be in touch again soon

Visit with Vanessa

Vanessa took me to the rock club. She had a rock hunt, and played games for rocks. She also looked at rocks.

Vanessa went to church today. We sang songs and listened to the priest. It was a lot of fun.

Time with Haley

Today, I went home with a girl named Haley. She was very nice. She introduced me to her sister, her mom, and her dad. Then we had dinner from Kentucky Fried Chicken. We watched some t.v. Then we heard her mom say that it was time to read. Then we went to bed. Everyone said good night.

The next day, Haley and I played lots of games, like basketball, vollleyball, and soccer. We had a good time. Her mom made lasagna and lots of side dishes. For dessert, we had pie and ice cream. That night, Haley and I studied her vocabulary words and got ready for the Jog-a-thon. I didn't know what that was, so Haley explained that you jog for the p.e. period. Family and friends pledge money for each lap. The money is going for a computer lab for the school. I wished Haley good luck.

Errands and Easter

We came home on Kelly's bus. After lying in the sun for awhile, we got in the car with her dad. We went to his work, Architectural Ironworks. Then we went to the bank, got gas, and went to a movie. After that, we went shopping. The next day, Kelly went to her neighbor's house to play. She said that she had fun. When we woke up the next morning, Kelly wished me a Happy Easter! We hunted for eggs.

Sick at Home

Today, I helped Josh do his homework. He had to do a lot of math. Josh likes math, though. Josh was sick today, so we didn't do much. His siter was home sick also. I am well!

Love,

Vacation with Morgan

March 25, 2007

Today, we went to Lincoln City where Morgan's beach house is. We ate breakfast and went to the beach. We brought plastic bags and gloves. Morgan and Bethany (her sister's friend) helped clean up the beach. But the others wouldn't help. After our bags were full we came back to the beach house.

Then, when Morgan's little brother and sister Ethan and Natalie went to sleep, Morgan, Haley (Morgan's sister), Bethany, and Morgan's dad went miniature golfing. Miniature golf is a fun game. First, you take a small ball and put it in a smaller hole than the ball. Then you take a club. A club is a pole about three feet long with a little metal block and a grip at the top. You try to hit the ball into another hole. On the last hole, Morgan got a hole in one! That is when you get the ball through an obstacle in one hit. She got a pass to play free next time!

March 28, 2007

Morgan and I were awakened by a song. Morgan told me that it was her birthday. She got a lot of presents.

March 29, 2007

Today, Morgan played with her presents. She liked them a lot. She didn't have as much time to play with me, but Natalie did. She hugged me a lot.

April 1, 2007

Today, Morgan told me it was April Fool's Day. That's when you try to play tricks on people. Even though it was April Fool's Day, her family didn't play very many tricks.
