I was a right little busy bee, marching all over the place but particularly in the puddles. I love puddles. Sadly my feet are too small for wellies, the only shoes I have are my rather non-waterproof sandals. Oh dear, soggy sock time!
Max and I formulated several plans:
Before we tried to overthrow the castle, using some old sticks. After that we had a walk to see the horses and stand on the bridge over the fast road, I love to watch the cars and lorries zoom underneath!
Thursday evening we had a sneaky visit to the park after dinner as Ned actually managed to stop talking for long enough to eat his meal while it was still light outside. It turned out to be rather brilliant because all the doggies were being taken for their evening walk!
Friday was dress up as a nursery rhyme character day at school, here I am representing Incey Wincey Spider:
Smart or what? It was great fun and we got to have a parade around the hall all dressed up.
The Halford boys paid an unexpected visit on Friday afternoon, we entertained them for a bit and then once they'd gone we headed off to meet Mum who was walkign home from work. I decided to dress as a pirate for the occasion. In retrospect the eye patch was something of a hinderance while on the bike......
Friday night was Rock Band night at Owen's. After having a go at the drums I decided to settle on being the frontman of this otherwise rather ageing boyband:
Ned was sacked though as it was felt the band needed a bit more glamour, i've got that by the shedload, even in my bedclothes:
Saturday was quiet by our standards after fridays late night. We went to town for a walk, I bought a model of a praying mantis that you have to make with my pocket money (Mum and I put it together, it looks really good).
We saw James on his own, carrying all of Laura's shopping back from town on the way down too, she has him well trained already!
We had a barbecue in the evening while the grown up's watched some football match or another on telly. I had a great time playing with Kimi and those Halford boys once again.
So sunday then, and after another late night with the barbecue, we had another quiet one.
We did pop to some open day or another at the library in the afternoon though. They had a fire engine in the carpark that I got to sit in:
And there were various arty things to do inside, I made a lollystick man with funny hair.
Then we got to go to the park for a bit, I loved it. Climbing the stairs and going down the slide all on my own.
I got to display a lot of my new roundabout dismount techniques, some of them didn't even remove any skin from my knees!
Monday then, I was picked up from school and dragged down town to meet Mum at he bike shop, it was new bike time!!!! As usual with this sort of thing, Dad was more excited than me, however I did enjoy riding it into the Kennet Centre and then into the multi storey carpark lift!
I'm glad he's got a new bike as I reckon it won't be long before i'll be able to ride his old one.
By the time we got home I didn't fancy riding it really, just a cosy up on the sofa.....
...I made up for it Tuesday though. As soon as we got home from school I told Dad I had a surprise for him, took the bike out of the garage and zoomed straight off up the street on it!
He looked good on it too considering it is quite a bit bigger than his old one!
We packed up and went to the big new park before the kids from school got up there:
The trampoline made an excellent wrestling ring!
And wasn't bad as a trampoline either:
The big basket swing was fun:
And I got to try out the cornering ability of my new bike:
I loved the park as well, especially all the muddy, gravelly yucky bits. I made sure I was filthy by the time we left!
