I'm a girl, I'm not suppose to mow the lawn!

One bright and sunny morning my dad wanted my brothers and I to help him mow the lawn for Saint Patrick's Church.

Once we got to Saint Patrick's church my brothers and I didn't want to help my dad to mow the lawn because it was a tiring and boring job. We had no choice but to do it because dad already had the mower going for us. I had to use all my strength to push the mowing machine up the grass and down. I had to help my brother mow farther's backyard to because the grass was already very long.

After a while my dad wanted my brother Folau and I to push the wheel barrows and put the cut grass into it then into farther's bin. Another exhausting job for me! Once my brother and I finished we put back the wheel barrows in the garage and my dad did the same thing with the lawn mower.

I felt really tired at the end doing all those tiring and annoying jobs. I am just so glad that we had finished mowing the lawn. I will never mow the lawn again.

Step 1: Prepare yourself with a lot of guns to use to kill a police.
Step 2: Bump into a police car or run over a policeman with you car.
Step 3: Once you have three stars, this means there are a lot of police and the police helicopter coming after you.

On Saturday morning my brothers, cousin, auntie and I went outside to the back of my house to set up the decorations for my cousin's birthday party. We blew up pink, white and red balloons that had Happy Birthday written on it.

Later on, my cousin Akesa changed into her princess dress because it was her birthday. She was turning nine years old. She wore white princess gloves and a princess crown. When she walked out her room, I was like 'WOW! you look gorgeous.

A while later, my auntie and my other cousin arrived so I quickly grabbed a shower. Then after my   shower, I got changed into my black dress. Then I asked my aunty to plait my hair. After she did my hair, I went outside and I saw most of my family at the back of my house.

Then the birthday celebration began, my nana said a prayer, blessed the food and the birthday girl. When the prayer ended the kids were to go and fill their plates first. After I got my food, I went to sat down next to my cousins. 

After my cousins, my brothers, and I had changed out of our dresses and our suits, we changed into our regular pants and T-shirts so we could play Touch for about 20 minutes. Then my cousins, aunties, uncles and nana left our house to go back home.

Have you ever had chicken pox in Australia before?

[In Australia/Sydney in Black Town] My cousin in Sydney, Australia had chicken pox at that time when he was 8 years old. After a few weeks of him having it I started having an itchy back. 

The day that my 10 cousins and my brother Folau was sitting in the living room talking. Told my older cousin who was 17 years old that my back had been itchy for a week and she said to me to get up so she could check my back. She told my brother, my cousins and I that I was at the start beginning stage of having chicken pox.

Once it was dark I had to go and have  shower, it was annoying and scary because I had to shower with the chicken pox shampoo. It was scary because there was a huge, big mirror and the left side of the bathroom. After I had my shower, my cousin called me over to her so she could put white, watery medicine all over my body, she had to put some more medicine over the chicken pox between my mouth and nose.

When I sniffed the medicine, I felt dizzy and started to vomit into my bowl that my cousin had given me.Weeks later, all of my chicken pox disappeared from my body.

I felt really proud because of my body having had chicken pox at the age of 10. I'm glad that I have had chicken pox because that means I'm not likely to have it again.
