Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

I understand there's a nasty rumour circulating that we're only going to be doing an update once every two weeks, we can put those to bed right here and now. We're staying weekly (even if we're a day late this week, and we'll be on holiday next week).
School broke up on Wednesday for Easter! Boooooo! I love school and was in no real hurry to go home. We hung about in the playground after we'd finished but everyone else seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Pretty soon there was only us lot left!
Nursery's still open so I can keep up my efforts on messing my clothes up, collecting mud under my fingernails and keeping the other kids awake during their supposed lunch time nap.
So first full day of the holidays and I spent the morning with Max colouring in the garden, in the sunshine, maybe school holidays aren't so bad after all!
In the evening we made the most of the increased daylight by going out for walk. Well I say walk, Ned strapped on his roller skates and I took my trike. We headed for the school playground.....
.....and Alastair was there on his bike! Cool! We hared around the playground.
With Mum's birthday coming up we had to have a shopping trip Friday afternoon. With Newbury being one large building site we headed for Amazingstoke! Exciting or what?
We even managed to fit a bike ride around the Greenham common with the Halfords in, enjoying the late faternoon sunshine.
So it's that time of year again, Legoland has flung it's doors open and Tesco have bestowed thier clubcard points upon us, time for another season ticket!
I got aquainted with Wendy from Bob the builder while Mum and Ned went on the Sky Rider....again!

Yeah, Dad is always amazed that I want to go on it, but it's the first thing that we come to....
Dad and I went on the boat racer ride, Dad uses much the same reasoning as I do with the skyrider, it's the second ride we come accross and there's never a queue just after the park opens. Most people probably avoid it so they don't spend all day with a soggy bottom like Dad did......
What I was most excited about though was taking Ellis on the little train without any grown ups, I couldn't wait!

Yeah, it was great fun, especially being at the front in the drivers seats!
Best fun of all though is squirting the passengers on the Viking River ride, I could spend hours and hours on here:

But I didn't like it quite as much when Mum and I went on the ride and I got squirted!
The big dragon roller coaster is a breeze for me these days (even though I still don't really like the dark bit very much):

Dad and I gave them a wave from the castle grounds:

Apart from the mild disappointment of the new Indiana Jones ride breaking down when we were within 10 minutes of us getting on it, we had a great day.
Topped off with several laps of the Fairytale Brook, which was a good chance for a cuddle:

And a bit of finger sucking:

Sunday we had Grandma around for lunch (it was her birthday earlier in the week) as well as Alan and Hayley. Result! Even better though waas that after the dinner was done and dusted Hayley and I got busy making an Easter bonnet for Ellis to take to nursery:

While Alan and I had a bounce on the trampoline and a hide behind the blinds session:

We also managed a late afternoon riding session, after racing Alan's Gayo on my bike, I stole Ellis' trike and rinsed every last ounce of speed from that as well:

And I nicked Ned's old bike for a quick spin, Mum tried to get me to pedal, but whats the point when she's going to give me a push?

Mum's birthday, yay! We obviously got her some Lindor,

And i'm upset because I wasn't allowed to eat them:

Dad and I baked her a cake and everything, I loved licking the bowl but wasn't keen on the finished product as usual. Uncle Al came to babysit so Dad could go to the quiz with Mum. I was supposed to be in bed by the time he got here but I made sure I stayed awake and came down to see him. Good job I did as there may have been a little bit of an early birthday present for me...thanks Trish and Al, it was great, I haven't stopped playing with them all day!

So then, if I can get a word in edgeways this week I have a little nursery news. First off i've started asking for the potty, they think i'm really quite clever by all accounts. What wasn't quite so clever though was the Easter Egg hunt. Great in principle, but the eggs weren't chocolate!!!! What sort of sick stunt is that to pull eh? Mum was most disturbed by the whole sorry debacle.
