Easter

Well it’s been a busy few days just lately.
Thursday we made cakes for Easter at nursery. Dad had to get them home on the bike without eating them or melting them. Once we were home we made Mum’s birthday card (a tiger with fluffy feet) and I managed to keep it all a secret. I’m stating to get the hang of it now I think. I don’t think Mum liked the cake I made very much as she let me eat hers for her……
Friday and there was no nursery. I helped Dad load his bike onto the car and waved him goodbye. While he was out Mum and I emptied the money box and counted all the coins. I loved it, Mum thinks I’m going to be an accountant like her. Dad despairs! I invited myself to play with Like and Amy (the children next door) through a hole in the fence, they’ve got rabbits and a massive trampoline. Mum came round too and talked about me while drinking coffee just like a real Mum at last. Dad got out of the shower to find the house deserted but instead of coming looking for us or calling the Police he watched some bike films on DVD. Friday afternoon and it was time for the most exciting happening since Christmas…making cakes with Auntie Chris! I’d been excited about it for days. Laura came round to help to and I soon got shot of mum and Dad and got messy! We made hundreds and hundreds of cakes with really Fancy toppings and everything. We even went down the park for a play, what a great afternoon. By the time I got home in the car I was fast asleep and went straight to bed.
Saturday, Mum’s birthday and I had managed to keep all the secrets! We gave her her presents (a new Camera and a calculator) and then we sat down to play a few computer games:

Grandad and Anne came round and I helped Mum undo her presents and card. Soon after Slim and Trace came round:

Had a big cuddle with my Uncle Slim, and then climbed all over him.
In the afternoon we went out to the park and I decided I was going to ride my scooter there. I got it going pretty fast especially down the hills.

We then went onto the shop and had ice-creams in the sunshine,,,lovely.
Sunday was Easter…C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E!

I managed to get a visit to Luke and Amy’s again in the morning which was great, Mum didn’t even come this time. After lunch we had an egg hunt, I managed to find loads of eggs:

Then all the usual suspects turned up for a barbecue! We hadn’t had one of these for ages. Here I am having a quiet and considered word or two with Abi without the inane chatter of any grown-ups:

Here I am showing Alan and Sonia where my dinner had gone:

Me and Mum slipped out to go and help Sonia put her horse to bed. I raced them up and down the side of the field and I reckon I can run faster than they can.

By the time we had got home, everyone had left! I was really upset and went to bed in tears…..
Monday there was still no nursery, so we went to the seaside.

We had a picnic near the lifeboat station and walked along the sea front watching boats and looking at the crabs that people had caught. We played in the sand at the waters edge and watched the jet-ski’s zooming about:


Then the main event….ice-cream!
