Choose your own adventure...

Today's blog is a choose your own adventure!

Today I'm going to blog about dancing! I love dancing, I do dance classes Thursday nights with my friends. At dance class we learn lots of moves to different songs. At the moment I'm learning a dance to High School Musical. I've learnt some dance moves so far and I'll learn more tonight! I like learning new moves because I'm very good at remembering them, I like to show my friends at Umbrella. I have lots of fun dancing.
I like dancing to music by ABBA and all the Disney music. My favourite Disney music to dance to is from Tangled and Encanto. After dancing I go out for dinner, I like going to different places for dinner such as Hungry Jacks. I have done dancing my whole life and I make sure I can dance on all the cruises I go on too.
I really hope I can go to Shanghai Disney soon, I keep thinking about it and hope to really soon. They have different characters, different rides and different dance moves in the shows. I can't wait one day to go.
I love coming to blogging on Thursday's. It is fun and I get to see all my Umbrella friends.
I get to write with help and tell the readers all about me and what I love to do. This week, my dancing. Thank you, Claire. 



I have discovered that with the weather we are having it is the perfect climate for wild mushrooms and fungus to grow. When I first found clusters of white mushrooms, I thought it would only be those and then that would be it for a while. This was not at all the case. I have seen many different varieties of wild mushrooms and they are super interesting, weird and wonderful. I like to observe things in my garden, especially the things that were uninvited and I never thought would become part of our garden. 

I don’t touch wild mushrooms because that would be an unwise and unsafe choice. I’m always happy to just observe and admire from a distance. I have the same rule for other plants and creatures also. Unless I know for sure that they are safe, it’s very important to know what you are picking up or touching and staying safe. Plus not all creatures want to be touched which is understandable and I’m happy to respect that. Respect isn’t just for humans, everyone and everything deserves to be respected.
I don’t know the names of all the mushrooms and fungi except for magic mushrooms. There are some mushrooms found in parks rather than our garden and I think it is very important that they be left alone. They can be of the red and white variety which were best to be left alone. To find out more about why that is I suggest you ask Google and maybe put your thoughts about mushrooms in the comments. Others I have seen and come across are brown mushrooms, orange fungus, brown fungus, upside down looking mushrooms, pink and white mushrooms and many hard to describe mushrooms. 
Have a look in your garden and see what you find! 
Thank you for reading my brain dump on mushrooms and fungus, it’s not a topic I’m super knowledgeable about but I’m excited to see them in the garden and parks. 
Your friend, Shan.


Last week we went to see the band I Prevail with the support bands Imminence and Invent Animate it was awesome and I was so knackered and my favourite song for I prevail is Violent Nature.  I just yell out to my favourite song and it was so great.  They also did a cover song of Metallica, Sad But True and this is so good.
On the weekend I almost finished my animation and on Monday I finally finished off my animation the episode called The Divorce and this is going to be hilarious. I just uploaded the video on YouTube.
On the weekend we watched the Collingwood game against Port Adelaide and we won the game, Jordan de Goey got three goals because he is the good Collingwood player and I love him, Nick Daicos got the first goal and I heard about the new Collingwood player, he's name is Sam and he got the first goal of his first game, but he is the Collingwood player and Scott Pendlebury he's not playing at the moment. He is injured and a great player. I watched Melbourne Storm against Raiders and we won the game, Cameron Munster has played 250 games for Melbourne Storm, he's so strong and he's the greatest Melbourne Storm player and I love him too.

Dear readers, this week's topic is a choose your own adventure.
Let me start by telling you about my holiday which I'm so excited about because I'll get to spend time with my parents which will be good.  My parents are always working very hard and come home from work late.
What are some things that I’m looking forward to? I’m looking forward to snorkelling, swimming in the pool, going to a family friends’ wedding and whatever other activities my mum has organised and we hopefully will get to do horse riding.
When am I leaving? I'm leaving soon but I'm feeling so anxious and stressed out because we haven't packed yet. However, my nails and hair are done for the wedding and I look so pretty.
Readers I have a question: Do you have any holidays planned or any weddings planned for this year or the future?

I like to make stories up about things. I’ve got rainbow lorikeets in my front yard, I’ve named three of them, the leader Pablo, the silly one is called Lee-Roy and the third one is called Basil. 
We have a bird bath and a tray hanging from the tree. They have been in the tree for a while now.
I took a photo of them all on the bird bath yesterday, and it looked like they were in a bird meeting, so I made up a little story about it. 
So Pablo, started the meeting with a question “Where are we at with the mission of pooping on the neighbours car?”  
Basil replied “The plan is half done, if we didn’t have Lee Roy, the mission would’ve been completed, but he keeps missing the car.” 
Pablo yells, “LeeRoy, what is this about, why can’t you do one simple task?” 
LeeRoy climbs down from the tree but misjudged how close he was to the ground, he slid down so fast he fell off the tree and hit his head on the ground and saw stars. Then he replied “I’m sorry boss, I get nervous and I start pooping before I reach the car”
Pablo walks up to LeeRoy, smacks LeeRoy over the head, and again LeeRoy saw stars around his head.  
The meeting ended and Basil and LeeRoy flew away and Pablo just sat on the bird bath, with another new bird (not sure of her name yet) they had a bit of a peck on the beak and Pablo flew away. 
Another two birds of a different kind flew down, took the female bird hostage and flew away with her.
The next day I’m guessing Pablo held a meeting again with Basil and LeeRoy to help get his girlfriend back. Stay tuned for the next chapter.

Dear readers, how are you? Today’s topic is a choose your own adventure. I have chosen to write a story called The Secret in the Royal Castle.
Chapter One.   
Once upon a time, in a bright kingdom wrapped in golden light, there stood a great royal castle where King Leo and Queen Cleo ruled kindly over their family. 
Inside the castle lived the Prince, the Princess and the youngest little one who was full of energy and questions.
The castle was usually loud in the happiest way, footsteps echoing through hallways, laughter bouncing off stone walls and doors always opening and closing like the castle itself was breathing.
But then something started to feel different.
Queen Cleo wasn't quite the same. She smiled more softly, she rested more often and sometimes she would pause in the middle of a sentence like she was listening to something no one else could hear. Princess Lulu noticed first.
One afternoon, walking through the castle gardens, she asked Queen Cleo why do you keep holding your hands like that?
Queen Cleo smiled gently and looked away for a moment, "just thinking" she said, but the Princess felt it wasn't just thinking.
Something was coming…
Stay tuned for the next exciting chapters.
Let us know what you are thinking in the comments below and would you like to hear the next breathtaking chapters?
I love story writing and sharing stories with you all. This is Beth with the wild imagination signing off until the next chapter.

My blog is all about me! 
Hi, I'm Dayna. I am good at art, I am good at tracing off my laptop and I’m good at painting. When I was in school I entered a self portrait into an art show and I came first!   I love being an aunty, I have nine nieces and nephews. I love looking after them and they make me feel happy and proud. I love spending time with my family.  I live with my beautiful mum and my dog Rosie, she is a toy poodle.  I love listening to music, I like country music best. 
My favourite colours are purple and pink and I like spending time with my best friend Charlotte. Charlotte and I watch movies and do face masks, we like making cookies and having dance parties. We sit and talk and play games on each others phones and take pictures together and cuddle each other’s dogs. That’s everything.

On Tuesday, I went to the Melbourne Novotel to do a talk about digital champions for work. My friends came to support me and we had a buffet for lunch. They had lots of food there to choose from. And I like my Down Syndrome Australia job.
I also did my merchandise store. We have got more unicorn things now, and my dad allowed me to do some markets this year.

This time I am blogging about things that I collect.
When I was little, I had many cute stationery items. I remember having a Pikachu stationery set that came in a box with a transparent window. I also had two pencil sets, one Hello Kitty and one Hamtaro. I remember the Hamtaro pencils were in pastel colours like baby pink, baby yellow, purple, and aqua. I loved them!
I also had many stickers when I was little, mostly from Kumon. I did not get the whole sticker sheets. Usually, the teachers cut out the stickers and put them in a container so the children could choose their favourites. Mum also bought me lots of stickers and kept them in plastic pockets. They had cute designs such as Sanrio, Disney Princesses, Piglet, beaches, and colourful stars.
When I was small, I also had many cute dinnerware items. I remember having Barbie and Winnie the Pooh bowls when I was in kindergarten. I also had Snoopy and Cinderella bowls, and I still keep them. When I got a bit older, I started using plates instead of bowls. I had Snoopy, Winnie the Pooh, and Barbie plates. I still have my Snoopy plate today. I also had cute cutlery when I was little, including Winnie the Pooh, Snoopy, and Powerpuff Girls sets.
I also collect my childhood photos. Mum brought all of my childhood photo albums with her. Back then, things were different because there were no smartphones. Photos were printed and placed in albums. These days, parents often use smartphones to take pictures of their children and share them on social media or through private messages. I sometimes miss being a little girl, but I can still enjoy cute things like Disney, Snoopy, and Hello Kitty just like I did when I was younger.
I still like stickers as an adult. Now I buy stickers with my own money. I usually place them in my journal or on greeting cards. Sometimes we make cards in the handmade group. One time, I made a birthday card for Carol.
I also still enjoy collecting cute dinnerware, even as an adult. I have lots of cute cutlery sets, some from Miniso and some from Japan. Have any of you been to Japan? I also have two Disney plates, one Minnie Mouse and one Winnie the Pooh. I have a Winnie the Pooh bowl as well, and I also have an otter bowl that I bought at the Shimane Aquarium in Japan.
I love my Super Mario plush collection. I like collecting Super Mario character plush toys because they are quite rare. As many of you know, Cheep Cheep is my favourite because he is very cute. I have different sizes of Cheep Cheep plush toys, including two small ones, medium sized ones, and giant ones. Do you have any plush toys? If you do, are they characters or regular stuffed animals? Please share in the comments.
Collecting things has no age limit. I know a content creator who has children but still enjoys collecting cute things like squishies.
Thanks for reading my blog. Have a wonderful week. This is Princess Jacinda signing off.
