Okay then, as most of you will know, we've just moved house and as a result we're back to the dark ages of not having an internet connection at the moment!
Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly, in the meantime we'd like to thank Auntie Trish, Uncle Al (northern monkey), Carrie-Anne, Andy and Owen for all their hard work and company on Saturday, I know Mum and Dad really appreciated it.
And everyone else, feel free to come and see us, all of our toys are unpacked!
Oh yeah, driving round in big vans is ace.......

Well there isn't much to say this week i'm afraid as we haven't done anything.
He's pretty much right, except i've really started to get around with purpose now. Really fast and into everything, you can't leave anything lying around or i'll try and eat it/break it/throw it.
The reason for all this inactivity? We're moving so Mum and Dad are frantically tarting up the house for someone else to live in it...i'm sure there's some warped logic there somewhere....

As part of all this we bribed Andy with tea the other night so he would check our electrics out for us. He had a screwdriver that lit up when you put it against a lightswitch....it was the best thing i've ever seen and i'll certainly be putting it on my christmas list this year. It even light up if you rubbed it on Ellis' back, she must have electric inside her! As you can see from my attire, i've been dressing up a lot lately. I disappeared off upstairs the other afternoon on my own and came back down dressed like this:

Ello ello ello, evening all etc. I thin I looked pretty good in it, I must have done as I manged to convince mum to join in:

Friday night then, Auntie Christine decided she'd rather go on holiday to Portugal than look after us, so Auntie Trish got a look in for the first time! Why has it taken so long? We had a lovely night and she performed above and beyond the call of duty by reading me THREE bedtime stories. Mum was having none of it the following night and I was back to earth with a bump with the more usual one. Booo!

We went to fantasy land saturday morning (hope you come next time Abi, sorry but Mum and Dad are shocking at organising anything).

I didn't think much of the apples, the skins seemed pretty tough! I had my first real play there and really enjoyed it. It was also strangley quiet in there so we pretty much had the run of the place which was nice. Ned showed me the ropes and I had a great time exploring.

We popped round to have a look at our new house, it all seems very exciting and I will have a massive bedroom...plenty of room for my toys!

After that we went to Abi's house to watch something called the FA cup final, it was rubbish but mum won the sweep so that was a result! I just made myself at home playing with Abi's toys and making a big old mess.

And I decided to be a miserable little monkey, fidget, cry and generally be a pain in the neck for once.

Sunday was another miserable housebound afair, the sole highlight being a trip to Waitrose for something to tea. I made the most of this hour of freedom from the confines of home and had a lovely time!

The gasman came to sevice the boiler on monday and seeing as i'm feeling pretty handy about the place following my stint as an electricians mate, I decided he needed a hand. I soon got bored though, he didn't have a light up screwdriver, just a noisy hoover.

Well it looks like summer is really here now, hooray!
It’s pretty much my first one, by the time I was born last year it was pretty much all over and done with as far as I can remember. The weather has been so nice that they’ve even had the paddling pool out at nursery for us, I really loved and spent ages in there all on my own long after the others had got out. We’ve also been playing with ice cubes, unorthodox maybe, but most intriguing!
Dad and I’s tour of the local skateparks and bike jumps saw us make a visit to the Greenham skatepark this week:

I thought it was rubbish but Dad loved it on his skateboard.
I didn’t mind it sat in my buggy in the shade watching them zoom about.
I much prefer fish fingers though:

I’ve been allowed to feed myself fish fingers and chips! I’m getting proper grown up. I love fish fingers as you can see here:

There was a distinct lack of trolleys at Tesco last week so for the first time I ever I sat in the normal kids seat, not those rubbish laid back baby ones, Ned loved having me alongside him and he stayed in the trolley for the entire shopping trip (much to Dad’d delight).
I don’t much like my sun protection headwear mind you:

No, nor do I Ellis, that’s part of my pirate ensemble.

We had the paddling pool out at the weekend while the gardeners got to work, about time too!
Saturday afternoon we went to see Yanna and Fen……it’s been too long!

Theres always soooo much to play with.

Here’s Abi and I before she took the plunge fully clothed.

And I decided to follow suit!

Kin helped Yanna and I by giving us a good old dunking after a bounce on the trampoline.

Mum and I played water pistols, we tried not to involve any innocent by-standers but you can’t make an omelette without breaking any eggs!

I did some driving…

And a bit of cuddling.
I had to have some new shoes at the weekend as well after I stared complaining that my shoes made my feet hurt. There was a bit of a standoff in the shoe shop when I wanted the ones with lights in them, and Mum and Dad wanted the other pair. I let them convince me the ones without lights would be faster so went along with them. I like to let them win now and again.
We’ve been looking at mini beasts at nursery (insects and the like), it’s pretty good. I don’t really like creepy crawlies much though so we’ve been taking handfuls of moss and goodness knows what else in for the nature basket. Mum reckons me and her will fill it right up before long.
So while we’re on the subject of beasts, Uncle Alan came round for his usual Sunday evening roast on Sunday, literally minutes after he’d finished his roast lunch! He also managed to force some apple pie down as well….he puts me to shame!

We had a barbecue tonight, yes that’s right on Tuesday night, crazy or what?

The burnt meat wasn’t up to much, but the donuts certainly were:

I just enjoyed being outside as my cup made a better noise when I threw it down on the floor:


Here's a video for ya....

Summers finally here, well, kind of. We had a barbecue on Friday night, it was a pretty chilly affair but we didn't need the shelter Dad cobbled together out of a plastic sheet and a bit of the old bath. We ate sausages....it was ace.
I'd already gone to bed by the time it had finally got going so missed all the excitement.
I fancied being a pirate last week, I haven't had the costume out for a while so thought i'd give it a dust down. I rode my scooter to nursery dressed in it and got some pretty funny looks. Mum said I should waft my sword at passing cars, so I made sure I did at every oppurtunity. Dad made us go to the DIY shop so I wore it there too, although I was a little put out as the people working there were also in fancy dress so I didn't look quite so special. I lost my eye patch as well. Luckily Dad found it at the back of a load of tile edgeing. I don't know how it got there?
After all that I was pretty worn out:

So then it was a bank holiday weekend, which meant exposing myself in public for an alfresco nappy change:

How delightfull, at least there was no one else about.
I was pretty chuffed to be showing mum my skills at the BMX track at long last. She was pretty impressed I think. She challenged me to a race down the track:

Rather stupidly she nosed in front, so I pedalled as fast as I could, picked up a lot of speed and launched a huge jump. I think I was so pleased to be airborne and make the landing that I promptly fell off and ended up with a gravel moustache!
Saturday night was party night, our uncle Slim's 50th no less. We think he looks pretty good for 50, and he's still lots of fun, not like a proper old person at all!
There were loads of people, bright lights, loud music and lots of food (sweets).
I was booked as Slim's stripogram (it was pretty hot to be fair):

We drank, we ate, we danced (well I didn't, I chased two young girls around all night) and I saw a previously hidden camp side of Owen I had never seen before (sadly the video footage was too dark). I also got my head stuck in the arm of a chair that I was having a little rest in....oh dear.
We stayed right until the end, Mum and I were worn out:

I hope you had a good time Uncle Slim, I know we all did! And thanks for inviting all of our baby sitters too, it meant they had to bring us along!
Grandad and Anne came round to help with some odd jobs around the house on Sunday morning, when they arrived Dad was still in bed feeling a bit delicate. He declined the offer of going up the ladder as he reckoned he already had a bit of a sway on, so made poor old Grandad do it!
So monday and we were still off nursery, great! We went to the crafty raft race to see Chard paddle home. He took a bit longer than we expected so we had to entertain ourselves for a bit:


He finally paddled into view, and despite our best efforts and huge encouragement he didn't fall in! Boooooo!
After that we bumped into Edward from nursery and made our way to the park for a very long free go on the big bouncy slide where we also ran into Joshi and Toby, it was like a nursery outing!
So after a go on a motorbike on the roundabout we were pretty much done:

We also had the great honour of christening the new bath over the weekend. Very nice it was too.
Yeah, Dad was really pleased to see me picking out all the tile spacers.....oops!
Just one big claim for me this week...most poo's in one day. Mum changed me twice before we even left for nursery, I had three at nursery, one when Dad got me home and then two more in quick sucession at the dinner table....how about that then?
