Before Christmas....

So many things happen before the big day we all like to call CHRISTMAS! Carol nights, gift buying and parties! Today I invited some friends and we enjoyed a day of music, food, presents,basketball, and hanging out (as most teenagers do nowadays!).
But those few days before Christmas might mean anything for you guys! Tiresome gift shopping, preparing for that obligatory visit from your family or chilling with your friends and family!

"Easyway" was in the x-mas spirit!

And the florist got out her festive flowers!

The fireworks are never too far away at this time of year

A time when friends are drawn closer 

And share their obvious excitement for the holidays

A gift from my best friend

A time for food and music!

Hope you enjoy this post, and are as excited about x-mas as I am!!
Have an awesome holiday and hang out for my next post on Christmas day!! <3

Rainy days...

Rain is the last thing you expect during a summer, after days and days of heat waves and using up the electricity bill with the air conditioner. For most of you, rain means winter, and winter means hot cocoa, the heater and a good movie. But that's just not how it works when its Summer! It's still hot, and the warm couches really aren't an option right now. Your parents insist its not hot enough to put the air con on so the only choice you really have, is to go outside! And why not? A little rain never hurt anybody! I'm not saying run outside while its pouring and make wet grass angels, but its not like it's going to rain none stop right?

Here are a few things my family and I did outside on a rainy day.

A good game of basketball to keep us entertained on a weekend

mushrooms and capsicum ^^

My feet sloshed in the wet grass as I kicked the ball around the backyard

A tasty barbeque under the shelter outside 

My cat was ready to go back inside!

Hope you enjoyed reading, have a great day!! <3

LEGO ROBOTICS COMPETITION!

Yesterday was the national first lego league (FLL) robotics competition, and my brother's team, "The Flying pigs", came in 3rd position, a great day for us all!! The team's motto is, "When pigs fly,anything is possible...". I really like this motto, because it encourages the team to dream big and believe in the seemingly impossible!! There are millions and millions of FLL teams all around the world, and it is a great opportunity for everyone who's interested in learning how to build and program robots! So why not start up your own team and have some fun with robots??

The team's (Very trendy) flying pig hat and "Snack pack" on the right

The flying pig logo and orange t'shirt

Can you guess which team is ours?? haha

Hope you enjoyed this post and have a great day! <3
