Going to the cricket.

-
A few days ago, my brothers and I went to the cricket with our uncle! The cricket tickets were a Christmas gift. Our uncle came to pick us up at about 6:15pm to take us to the cricket. When we arrived, we signed in, got four Melbourne Star flags (that's the cricket team we go for), and took our seats. It was raining a little bit, but luckily we were sitting undercover. The game started at 7:15pm exactly, and Adelaide Strikers were bowling first (they're the opposition team). About two seconds into the game we started eating our meat pies; I ate my pie very quickly. The Adelaide Strikers only got two people out, including Glenn Maxwell, the sixth best batter in the world! 😦 The Melbourne Stars made 179 runs, which is an excellent score and a hard number to beat. Then is was the Adelaide Strikers turn to bat. The Stars kept getting them out, 10 batters in all, and they only made about 64 runs. That's an easy victory for the Stars! During the game we also had a box of chips. 😋 🍟 The Stars won by 115 runs. Now they're going to climb up the ladder!

I had a great night. 

P.S. I fell asleep at about 11:45 PM. 💤

I love Cricket!

-
A few weeks ago my brothers and I started cricket! When it was our first day of training, we learnt how to bowl a ball. We played a few games; one of them involved throwing a ball at  to the coach and he batted it back. In our second training session we were in the nets, which is like a cage for batting in so that the ball doesn't go far. That was really fun. To play cricket you need a lot of gear. If you are batting you need a box (to protect your parts), 😊 leg pads, gloves to protect your hands, a helmet, and of course, a bat. Not long ago I broke one of our cricket bats while playing, so I was excited when I got another one for my birthday. 🏏 In our first match of cricket for the season, we lost. 😢 We only had eight people on our team, not the usual 11. That's one reason why we didn't win. Despite the fact that we only had two training sessions, we did a pretty good job. Then we got put into a different team, which had won their first match. In Round 2, WE LOST BY FIV...

Lego Singer!

-
Once I was in my room playing Lego, when I tried to make a face! Faces are one of the hardest things to make out of Lego, but I did it! First I got most of the skin-coloured Lego pieces from inside the tub. Then I started to make a jaw of the face, which took a long time to get the shape and size right. After that, I started to make the head, nose, and eyes for the face, which also took a long time to get right. I got the jaw part and slid it into the Lego head so the jaw could slide up and down to make it talk. It was very hard to make him and it took a lot of trial and error, but I got it done. Here's a video below of him singing! I hope you like the video, and don't forget to see my other Lego creation called Thumsey 👍 coming in another of my blog posts soon! 😀

Thumbsey!

-
One day when I was playing Lego in my room, I tried to build a person. I made a blue man putting his thumbs up, so I named him 'Thumbsey'! First I made the body for Thumbsey; it took a little time to make him look fat (I did that on purpose). Trying to get him to stand up was difficult because the weight of his body kept making him fall. After that I made his head and attached it to the body. I also made a bed for him to lie on, and because he was so fat and heavy, the bed had to be strong enough to support him. He also has two different eyes, and 100 dollars under his pillow (just for fun)! I hope you like the pictures! (Look out for the 100 dollar note under the pillow)!

Kind lady.

-
If you are a member of my family, or a friend that has been to our Church, you've probably heard of this lady I am about to talk about.  This lady (I'll keep her name private) is a very kind lady that is always seen at Mass. She is also the Lolly Lady.  Whenever Mass is finished, we always wait next to her car for her to bring all the lollies out of her boot. Because she is a little old, she takes a little time to walk to her car.  Whenever we see her she always proclaims that she loves us so much. She almost always gets my sister's name wrong; not long ago she called her Lucy!  Lollies.   My favourite lollies are called Fantales, which are chocolate covered caramels. Yum! She also gives us ginger biscuits, mini slices of bread, and some biscuits with sultanas inside them! 😋 I'm gnawing at my hand thinking about it. Hope you like the post! 🍪 🍭

Bounce, Shoot, Score!

-
Guess what? A few weeks ago we started basketball training! 👍👌 Mum signed us up for a homeschooling basketball group about eight minutes away from our house. I always thought I was really bad at basketball, but since we've started playing I've become heaps better, I think.  The first day we did some warm ups and a dribbling game; the rules to it are simple. There is a big square painted on the ground and everyone playing stays inside this square. Each person has their own ball to bounce, and as they're bouncing the ball they have to knock other player's balls out of the square. The last person left bouncing a ball is the winner! 🥇 In the first game, I came third. 🥉 Still, better than nothing. After this game we did shooting practice and the coaches told us how to shoot a ball accurately. They said that the way to remember how to shoot is to remember the abreviation 'BEEF'. B stands for balance. You should have your feet in line with your shoulders. E stands ...

Very Dark

-
Somewhere down our street there have been electrical technicians working on something; I have no idea what. Anyway, because of this they had to turn the whole street's electricity off. And that included us. 😱 The workers said that the construction would be anytime between  8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. At about 9:00 AM I was doing my schooling when without a sound, the lights went off. Then it turned very dark (as it says in the title). Because it was a very rainy day, there were a lot of clouds in the sky, which made it a lot darker inside. Mum let us finish our school work ealier because it was quite hard to see in the dark, and did I mention that we were working by candlelight? Well I wasn't, I was working with a torch, 🔦 but my brothers were. As this was all going on, we put a fire on in the fireplace for some light and warmth (because we couldn't turn our heaters on). Mum usually doesn't let me but on this day she allowed me to play Lego in the front room (where the firep...
