We helped Dad prepare the guest quarters (Ned's room), you can see us testing out the airbed in the video at the bottom.
It was a largely civilised affair, if you can count clenching 50p pieces between your buttocks and attemptimg to drop them into a pint glass civilised (we actually broke two pint glasses doing this). Oh and the chocolate game was truly terrifying, the amount of noise a group of chocoalte frenzied grown ups can generate is quite scary. We thought that the intergalactic stormtrooper police had been despatched to investigate claims of noise from other residents:
But it turned out in actual fact to be Max!
It was a pretty late night......
Next day we had just finished breakfast when Uncle Den and Auntie Gail arrived (it was getting on for lunch time to be fair). They were off to a barbecue of all things.....don't be giving Dad ideas like that! We eventually ventured out to Tesco in the afternoon to buy a new kettle (I hope your eyebrows grow back quickly Dean).
There's been lots of camera activity around the house of late, even i've got in on the act:
We went into town to see mum at lunchtime so we actually had to get dressed before midday.
Auntie Christine and Laura Came to see us Friday night. Mum and Dad slipped off to the curry house by all accounts. Fools, they missed the final of worlds strongest man!
I had to help Dad with the computer:
Saturday we went to a place called Ikea, it was quite unbelievable. I was actually really excited about the whole outing, we got little bits of paper and pencils to play with and got to ride around in the trolley grabbing at everything within reach.
I didn't share all of Ellis' enthusiasm for the whole venture but the kids department was great with spinny chairs and slides and what have you.
Other than that we sat about a bit:
Whinged a bit:
Tried to get ourselves on the internets:
And remembered the true meaning of christmas once again....Hot Wheels!
Sunday then, a trip to the Oasis, but with Andy and Owen too!
It was ace, we rode all the slides, splashed in the wave machine and best of all Owen taught me how to bomb!
We also learned how to hide our coloured bands so we didn't get chucked out when our session was up!
So monday then, back to nursery for me and without so much as a backwards glance at Mum I was back on it. I was quite glad to be back in a way!
Back to school for me too, although not proper school, more of an all day lunch club really. Hugo and I made ourselves lovely necklaces that i've barely taken off since bringing it home. I've also been enrolled for swimming lessons, how cool is that? So straight after school we were off to Kennet school pool. We were there nice and early so I sat pool side talking to my instructor, I told him that i'd learned to bomb yesterday and he was really impressed...I think we're going to get on just fine. The lesson itself was really good, if a bit short. Dad said I tried really hard and was always first to try something and closes to the instructor to listen hard to what he was saying.
I quite enjoyed the spectacle of it all but was glad I didn't have to get changed and wet and cold. We sat watching, ate a banana, had a chat and read some books...lovely!
Back to proper all day school today, Dad didn't come to get me until ten past three! I had a great day and was still buzzing when I was collected.
But what about me Ned? I come home from nursery pining for you and I have to have two whole hours with Dad until we can come and get you.......
I'd just like to say thanks to Mum for doing her best to keep me warm on the way to nursery on the last couple of freezing mornings. I know i'm a tough customer but you do a good job!
So happy new year everyone and hope to see you all soon!
