Staying in Hospital

For the last couple of days my Nan has been in hospital. It was unfortunate that she was diagnosed with an infection on her leg. It first started with a black hole in her leg. My Nan Maria thought that it would heal by itself... And as she left it, the hole began to expand and became infected.

That same weekend my Nan went Up North to see the family. Once she got back she felt chills everyday and night. She became very ill and was rushed to hospital. She had come down with hay fever which cause an infection on her leg.

She stayed in overnight for observations and stuff and was unfortunate and told that she was going to have surgery to close up the hole and make it feel alright. Once my Nan was noted everytime the clock hit 2.00am she was nill by mouth which means was not aloud to eat. Nan had waited for two days without food and the next morning went into surgery. I was relieved once she had come out and she was feeling alright. She was bit weezy and felt sleepy but that was all part of the process.

My Nan is feeling alright now and her leg is fine! I'm glad that she had surgery because she wouldn't be here today!

What we are having for Dinner

Tonight we are having a delicious dinner. It was made by my Mum, Aunty, Uncles, and the kids.
We are having: Sausages, Mince Patties, and Salads. I am definitely looking forward to it. I am so hungry. I can not wait and let's not get started on what we are having for dessert. Okay I will tell you. We are having chocolate logs with Pavlova and peaches. I am sure that would be delicious.

Mowing The Lawn

Today me and my uncle and niece mowed the lawn today. Firstly we had to go and pick up the lawn mower then we stopped and the G.A.S station to get some gas. Then we picked up the rubbish around the house and we were ready to start mowing.

When we were trying to start the mower up my uncle broke the string that is attached to the whole mower. So we jumped into the truck and went to mitre 10. As soon as my uncle got the rope he wanted an ice-block. Eating the ice-block the others were melting.

Pulling into the drive way I couldn't wait to start mowing the lawn. We took everything apart so we could put the rope in. Such a big job for a little thing I reckon. As we were getting ready to put the rope in, we find out that it doesn't fit. So we go back to mitre 10 to change it. We got a little bit of extra money back too.

So everything after that had worked out perfectly. My uncle pulled the string and he was away.
We helped him by clearing the way. Whenever he would go past us with the lawn mower it would hurt us because of the stuff that pops out of it.
It was a long hard day but I enjoyed it.

What we did today - Work

"Come on wake up. You are not sleeping in today," shouted my aunty. I woke up without any care. Could barley walk down the stairs or wash my face properly. "Where are we going aunty." I asked politely. "We're going to work." "WORK" I thought in my head. I didn't want to say it aloud because I wouldn't of got my special present. Thinking in my head, "I thought we finished work at school. So much for the holidays."

As my aunty was making our lunch, we were having porridge for our breakfast.
We put on our shoes and we were off. We started to make the ground not feel much gravel and we tried to flatten it. We did really good. Me and my cousin then started to work on the Gorse. Are you wondering what is Gorse? Well Gorse is a plant that has prickles all over the stalk. And it is very sore. Here is a picture of what the Gorse looks like.


I tried my best to handle it but is was too painful. I wanted to stop straight away. But I never gave up. I tried and tried until we were done. We worked for hours and hours. But after we were done we had these marks of where the Gorse had spiked us. It looks like a rash but no.

As soon as my uncle had finished stacking his second to last stacks of wood. Me and my cousin went back out to Pukekohe and stacked the last stock. Finally we went to Papakura pools. My uncle paid for us to go on the hydro slide, and boy was that fun. We waited for my little sister Stacey and my Niece Jovana. As we were coming out of the slide they saw us and strated bragging. They weren't meant to see us but things happen.

That wasn't the greatest time of my life but it was still kind of fun. (Maybe.) I do not wish to do that again only if we are able to go to the pools again. 

Why I loved being a Year 7

This year has been an extraordinary year. I have loved every minute of it as well as being great friend of some of the year 8's. Through the year everybody has been friendly and it was hard saying goodbye to the year 8's because it was like growing up with them.

The things that I have enjoyed this year are: Being a Moo-Juicer, Making Coffee  for the school, being a role model for the juniors. Becoming a year 7 has really made me step up and show what a good role model is.

I would like to say a huge thanks to Miss Squires for teaching me a lot and being a good teacher. And to thank you to the Admin teachers. You guys have supported the school a lot. And a big thank you to Mrs Tele'a for being the best extension teacher ever. Also a HUGE Thank you to Mr Burt and Mrs Burt for making this school happen. If it wasn't for you guys where would we be right now.

I have loved being a year 7 and I definitely can not wait until next year when I will be a year 8. I hope I do my best.

Decorating our Christmas Tree

As I was walking past a big box I was wondering in my mind, "Should I open it, or...." I decided to open the box. My parents weren't home only my older brother. Me and my little sister pulled the tree out and put it together. 

We searched everywhere for the decorations and finally we found them. They were in my parents wardrobe down the bottom. It took two sisters to search the house and all along it was in a wardrobe. The first things we pulled out were the bells they made a lot of noise but it was fun. Secondly we pulled out the strings that go around your tree. To be honest that was quite the hardest bit because you had to go right around the tree. 

For the finishing touch we added some lights. Be and my little sister Stacey put the lights onto the tree. We couldn't wait until it was night time because we really wanted to see what the lights looked like on the tree. 

Finally we added the candy canes. We had 1 to eat then we stopped. We wanted to save our family some.

We heard our parents pulled into the drive way. We quickly packed everything up and as soon as they walked through the door.... They were surprised. I reckon we saved them a lot of work. I think they should of awarded us. But I thought again and realised that they were getting us presents. 

We had the best time decorating our tree and I can not wait to do it next year.

My Sister Doing the Ice Challenge

When my sister came over to stay with us she thought she would do her ice challenge. What is it you ask? Well the "Cougar Boys" are fundraising for people who have cancer. And so they thought do the Ice Challenge and give money towards the cancer society. It is just meant to be just ice that is turned to water. But my sister had cold water and Ice.

When my big sister poured the water and Ice on her it was so funny. She first just stood there and then second she's jumping around freezing. Then the second bucket was about to tip on her. She's like, "No, no!!!!" Laughing her head off as well. When she finished she finally calmed down a bit. But it was ultra funny.

I can not imagine me doing that but I would give it a try if I had to.
