On Monday 7th July, the day before Roo’s birthday we went to the Incredible Science Day at Auckland University. We listened to four lectures about Tsunamis, Adelie Penguins, ‘do jelly beans look like bacteria?’ and “optical illusions and why we have two eyes”. We had a great time and when we were there we got given a bag with a map post-it notes a pen and sheet with lots of questions. If you got 10 questions right you got a degree. We answered twelve questions correctly and got our degree certificate. Mommy was a bit miffed because it took her three years to get her degree and we got ours in three hours. Amongst other things we made slime by mixing borax and pva with water. We made blue slime, pink slime, and vomit coloured slime! Roo put his in the freezer to see what would happen to it ( not much). Overall we had a great day.

My birthday by Reuben.
I had a good birthday. For breakfast we went to McDonalds and I had pancakes. Then we went to Henderson to see ‘Prince Caspian”. I thought the film was really, really, really, really, really cool! Next we went to buy two fish. I have called them Twitch and Hammer, because one of them has big eyes and he looks like a hammer head shark and the other one has a twitch in his tail.
Then we went home and set up the fish tank.
I got lots of presents like ArchAngel and Snake head, the Alex Rider books, some clothes from Nanny and a walking robot from Caitlin. I also got some money which I spent on a Wii game called ‘Pokemon Battle revolution which I have been playing on all day!
Mommy and Daddy found me a drum kit on TradeMe. It is really really really really
really really really awesome.
Mommy made me some cupcakes instead of a cake. They had chocolate chips and chocolate icing an done had 9 candles in it. That was mine.
P.S. Molly has been to the vet's for her (whispers) operation. She is very dopey (what's new?) and wearing a very fetching pink t shirt.
