My Holidays
My holidays
On my two weeks holidays I had "ups" and "downs". The "down" was that in the first week my daughter and I were sick. We spent all week at home, especially in bed. My little boy wasn't very happy as we couldn't play with him.
On Easter Sunday my children and I went to my mum's place and all together went to look for the Easter Eggs in her garden. The Children had a lot of fun.
The second week was much better and the best part was the last Saturday of the holidays when we went to Easter Show! We saw how the company "Dairy Farmers" milk the cows and watched the horses parade. The children had heaps of fun. They went on a train ride, car ride and pony ride. Breno, my little boy enjoyed the walk at the nursery where we saw and patted the lambs, the piglets and others baby animals.It was a great day!
Our hodlidays were fully worth it as we did not have to worry about "the clock" and we could do whatever we wanted!

Swine Flu
The Swine Flu is a virus originated in Mexico and is worrying the health authorities as it can spread quickly and cause a pandemic.
A pandemic is when a virus gets out of control and infects lots of people.
Virus experts believe that this new virus is a combination of bird, pig and human flu. Because it is a new virus the human body has not build immunity yet and people are getting very sick.
Although Scientists are working hard to create a flu vaccine, it is not available yet and swine flu is being treated with medicines. It spreads in the normal way our flu does, through coughing and spluttering and the symptoms are the same.
There are no confirmed cases of Swine Flu in Australia yet, but if happens the country is ready for it.
In Brazil there are four confirmed cases of infection and the health minister said the patients are doing well. The infected people had been in Mexico and United States recently and there are no sign of infection in the people they had contact to.

Mothers Day
I am not sure about the origin of Mother's Day in Brazil. I could not find any specific information about it. I guess that basically the celebration exists for stabilish the same tradition that is held in USA and around the world.
Although around 46 countries honour mothers with a special day not all celebrates in the same date. Few countries such as Australia, United States, Denmark, Italy and others celebrate it on the second Sunday in May.
The idea of a national Mother's Day began in United States during the 1870's. It was originally a plea from Julia Ward Howe (an author and a leader of the abolitionist and women suffrage movements) for mothers around the world to rally together for the end of the war. But was the amercican Anne Marie Jarvis the idea of prevailing Mother's Day celebrations.
Anne hoped that a day dedicated to mothers everywhere would strengthen family bonds and increase appreciation and respect for parents whilist they where alive. She moved a campaign sending hundreds of letters to legislators, businessmen and executives at state and national levels to establishment of a national Mother's Day.
She did not stop there. Together with a committee plans was made for making Mother's Day an international event.
Anne did not end up very happy with her achivement because of the commercialization around the day. She wanted to be a day of sentiment and loving intentions not profit!

ANZAC DAY
ANZAC DAY is celebrated on 25th of April each year. The letters stands for: "Australian and New Zeland Army Corps".
It is a such special day that it was made a holiday. It is a day to remember the brave men and women who have served the country in times of war. On ANZAC DAY people show thanks for those who have fought for Australia.
The Australian soldiers are called "Diggers". The most famous hero from the First World War is Simpson. He and his Donkey called "Duffy" helped during the war to bring back wounded soldiers from the battlefield to the dressing session.
Most countries have a Defence Force which are the people working in the army, navy or air force. Defend means to keep safe. The Australian defence Force keeps the country safe and protects people.
During the ANZAC DAY service people in Australia say the "ODE", which is part of the poem:
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them."
Another thing that people do on ANZAC DAY is to lay flowers and wreaths of red poppies at the bottom of memorials as a way of saying that they have remembered these brave people.
ANZAC DAY is a day to consider the bravery of the soldiers and to show respect to their memory.
"Lest we forget"
