CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!! AND STUFF

CHRISTMAS TIME IS GOING TO BE FUN!!

After the 25th my family and a lot of people from my church are going to go to camp, somewhere, for a week, I think. When we get back from the camp, after a few days, we're going to fly to Auckland and have a lot of fun... without any internet.
We don't really have any family traditions. We just do whatever we want in the holidays whenever something isn't planned.
ANYWAY I hope you guys have a shmazzingational Christmas and a really really really awesome holiday.

I HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU NEXT YEAR!!!

On Wednesday...

It was a wonderful day. The sun was shining and I could hear the faeries whispering to me then I saw her but not just me, everyone could see her. I warned them. "Don't meddle with things that don't exist." Yet they communicated with her normally. They broke the rules. Who knows what's going to happen now. Hopefully nothing, but if the worst comes then we must be prepared.

But I warn you don't meddle with things that don't exist.
*cough* *cough* Anna.

Fireworks

I think New Zealand should celebrate with fireworks on Labour Day instead of Guy Fawkes day.

Everyone would have time to watch the fireworks on Labour day but if we set off fireworks on a normal day (like the 5th of November) usually some people are busy and have things to do. Also we could use the fireworks to celebrate that we're not working or use them to signify that we don't need to go to work or school. Labour day is a day that everyone likes, so if Labour Day were celebrated with fireworks then some people would buy tons of fireworks because they're so happy they have a day off.

I used to think Guy Fawkes was on the 4th of July but apparently it's not so... Katy Perry lied to me...

Did you think that Guy Fawkes was on the 4th of July because Katy Perry told you in her song Firework?

Interesting Things

An interesting thing I did in the holidays was going to the Fisherman's Table with a few friends from my church. The bathrooms were creepy and Joanna got a plate of pickles. My brother's friend surrounded my brother's area where he was eating with peas that he claimed to be disgusting.

Something interesting I did at school was helping out with the spring fair in the kids zone stall with the face painting, tattoos, hairspray and clay painting. I painted a few kids faces and did something in the tattoo stall. My sister, Joanna and I had to leave at one so we could make it to basketball but we spent five minutes finding Joanna and another 5-10 minutes standing around waiting for Phoebe and Mackenzie to play some tombola.

Did you guys do your advertising for the spring fair?

Big Fat Shaggy Monkey

Big Fat Shaggy Monkey is a monkey for our jungle that I made with Sophia. We used black and a brownish purple paper for the body, black paper for the head and we coloured its face in with jovie (is that how you spell it?) We cut a roughly 2cm strip of black paper and cut it along the side so it kind of looks like a comb and stuck it on to the monkey, layering it. We also cut a piece of brownish purple paper to fit the tummy fur. I guess we based it on Henri Rousseau's 'Apes in the Orange Grove' where the apes are half hidden and some of them are holding oranges and all of the apes are very hairy and shaggy.

Is your animal hairy? If it isn't, do you think it would look alright if it was?

Current Obsession!!!

Right now I don't really have a current obsession but what I was obsessed with before was The Mortal Instruments, a book series written by Cassandra Clare. I would read some at night and just tell Esme the next day,  if she wanted to read it I probably ruined the whole series for her.
(I'm sorry Esme!) The thing I found great about the books (and still find great) was that there was so much suspense, mystery and adventure in it that it never gave me time to put the book down and stop reading. There was also some bits in the book that would make you laugh, smile or smirk. So you should read at least the first book if you haven't and there is also a movie, how exciting.

Have you ever read anything that you thought was so great you couldn't help telling people about it? If you have then what was it?

Medieval Minecraft Tavern

In the Medieval Times or the Middle Ages the tavern was an inn and a bar that served drinks sometimes known as the "Drinking House."

The exterior

Lily, Esme, Sophia and I built this tavern next to the town square. I did the exterior designs, Esme did the downstairs drinking area, Lily did the upstairs rooms with Sophia who also did the stable behind the tavern. There are three floors and there are enough beds for ten people apart from that there aren't any super interesting features.

Did your building turn out the way you wanted it?
