Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

By way of consolation after last week, there's plenty of pictures of me this week:

Here I am pulling my best stern food critic's face during a Masterchef inspired session playing with the tea set.
Here's one of my familiar pointing poses. I'm probably ordering my evening meal here, and demanding that it isn't so hot I have to sit and wait for it to cool down for hours and hours.

Friday afternoon we went to the park with Leo and Max, Leo and I had a lovely time:

There were even some pet rabbits 'enjoying' the swings and slides. I loved them.
And I was a proper misery guts, I kept on crying about everything. Sorry I wasn't much fun Max, a busy week at school must have taken it out of me. I still love it though, I come home singing loads of different songs and Mum and Dad think i've become even more confident and outgoing!
Back to me, back to food, yoghurt then, it's okay, but it isn't meat is it?

We went for a walk to the new park on Saturday morning to show Mum what we had found on our bike adventure last week.
I love to see motorbikes in the mornings on the way to nursery with Mum in the mornings almost as much as I like to see dogs, so I loved this:

I was still pretty tired so had a nice rest on a bench:

I kept trying to pinch Ned's bike, Dad finally relented (like he needed much persuading) and took me for a push around on it.....brilliant!

We hid in the play house at the top of the climbing frame:

But our cover was soon blown:

We headed off home for lunch and then in the afternoon we went Racing! We hadn't been for ages so I was really up for it. We had a couple of winners:

Kimi came along with Ben and Rach and Fen and Yanna bought Kin and Melissa along. We had a great time and Kin got us some lovely balloon model animals (as well as some candy floss).
Auntie Trish and Uncle Al were also there, they bought along Al's sister Karen:

She's my new best mate, even though she is a northern monkey and a Police-woman (with a real life Police dog and everything).
It was lovely in the sunshine, I got to max out my tan before Autumn. I'm hoping it'll last a while. I also got to make loads of clip clop noises:

Saturday night we ended up at Max's house for a bit of a play, it was ace because as well as Max and Leo, Abi was there too. The grownups were all watching some putting competition on telly or something so we got busy with the toys!

So Sunday then and the sun was still out! Summer at last. Dad and I set off for Tesco to get some barbecue goods for lunch while Mum and Ned stayed in and made a chocolate cake for pudding.....good work team!

We got some garden toys out and made the most of the weather:

My favourite Teddy had a wash and then got hung out to dry, which I found quite intriguing actually:

Then, once Dad had singed all the hairs from the backs of his hands once again it was time for lunch:

Once dinner was done and dusted we all adjourned to our favoured sleeping spots for a nap, Mum and I sat on a sun lounger, Dad took to the sofa....

......And I plumped for the cot.

We all awoke at pretty much the same time late afternoon and Dad decided we should head over to the Newbury Show ground to watch the hot air balloons take off. Mum was abviously feeling a bit bold and suggested we try and get into the show itself. We certainly got some funny looks driving through a stream of outward bound traffic but she made a good call, the ticket booths were empty and we walked straight in!

The balloons could wait, I wanted to go on the big wheel:

I had to go on with Mum, Dad didn't fancy it one little bit!

No, he seemed quite happy to stay with me!

The we headed over to the arena to watch the balloons take off:

It was pretty good actually, I couldn't believe the way they suddenly floated off up nto the sky.

Hmmm, I wasn't to sure about the noisy burners they used or the huge balloon that was hovvering all too close to us as they were trying to inflate it:

There was still enough people around and daylight to have a look at the quad bikes, I couldn't believe Dad didn't buy me one?

A man on a tractor stand also let me have a really smart book full of tractors to look at too, I read it all the way home.

We also managed to watch the end of the show jumping competition before clearing off home for a sarnie and yet another late night.
