No? Are you sure? There's no high chair! I'm officially a big girl now and can sit up to the table on a normal chair just like evryone else. The old highchair that Mum haggled so hard for when they bought it for Ned is now redundant.....
I've also developed a new angle of retribution on Dad when he makes me cross.......I hide his deodorant! Ha that'll teach him. trouble is, i'm so rubbish at keeping anything at all secret that I always give the game away and tell him where i've put it (usually before he even realises it's even missing). It's always in the same place too, on my bedside cabinet. So, not brilliant, but it's a start.....
So Wednesday was Dad's birthday and no one had to go to work or school or nursery. What did we do? We went to the beach of course:
We went to the Witterings near Chichester because apparently there were going to be waves. I don't know too much about waves but there were certainly shells, really good ones too:
There were waves Ellis, and I for one wanted to get amongst them as soon as I could. It may look a bit grey and drab but it was actually a lovely day:
Yep, it wasn't too bad at all, I didn't fancy any surfing but I certainly fancied racing the tide in and out:
I caught a few waves and got pretty brave even though I did get turned over by a big one:
For once there was no picnic, not normally a problem but today we wanted instant grub after our exertion! We didn't want to go to the chip shop, not even for chips....although we were soon talked round. We sat and had sausage and chips on the wall...lovely:
Hmmmm, lovely lovely chips. I didn't give any to the seagulls thats for sure:
We had a few quiet, refelctive moments:
And then we headed off for home, a lovely summer style outing at the end of October!
Mum and Dad went out with a load of the others to see Frank Turner of all people...how could they? My favourite!!!!
It wasn't all bad though, Auntie Trish came to babysit as she wasn't allowed to go either.
We did loads of drawings and what have you instead.
Thursday then was a very lazy no work/school/nursery day. We did finally get up and about in the afternoon when we went over to see Yanna and Fen. We went bowling:
It was the first time that I had ever been and I completely loved it, I was soooo excited about it all. The shoes, the ball, the Halloween decorations...everything!
And as if the bowling wasn't enough fun for one day we headed straight on for Pizza Hut! We coloured in hats, we ate and drank and we made poor sleepy Fen wait around for ages while Yanna and I had ice cream factory. Maybe if he hadn't got such a high score at bowling he wouldn't have been so tired?
Friday then, off to Windsor for our annual pilgrimmage to the Daniels toy department. i don't know why we have to go this time of year to look at toys?
I finally spent the last of my birthday money on a lovely Lego Ferarri transporter lorry and F1 car...it's really pretty cool.
And I spent some of my money on a set of Noddy puzzles, I really love Noddy you know.
We had a wander through the park and a good old run around the brick maze:
But we had to get home earlyish as I was off to Shimon's Halloween party again. Brilliant, Mum didn't have to stay this time and my finest achievement was jumping from his top bunk!
So saturday was Halloween then, mum went off to work for a little bit and the rest of us went to the library by bike again early doors. Before going back home and watching some cooking programmes on telly (not as good as CBBC truth be told).
Saturday afternoon was pumpkin time, i'd been building up to this for weeks. Dad carved his first ever pumpkin while I got busy with the decorating kit Auntie Christine bought us:
A good result on both counts I reckon?
A good result on both counts I reckon?
We got dressed up in out scary outfits and were all ready to go trick or treating. No matter how scary our outfits were though, they weren't a patch on Owen and Hannah's!!!!
John and Sarah were also along for the ride as is now traditional and we hit the town!
First stop Slim and Tracey's...followed by uncle Alan's:
We don't want to disappoint anyone else but he (or more likely Hayley) laid on the finest spread of the evening!
After that it was Andy's Mum and Dad's, then Auntie Christines and then onto Max and Leo's next door neighbours party.....a late night, but a very enjoyable and profitable one. We had no cause to use and tricks at all due to everyones generosity, which was just as well because i'm not sure we actually had any?
Sunday we had a trip to Grandad's for lunch, again with Alan and Hayley. We watched a brilliant film called Pete's Dragon that mum and Alan watched when they were little. Then we had a look at Grandad's new car which is even smaller than Alan's Gayo....can't wait to go in it!
Monday and Mum was still off work with us, Dad still had to go to work and while he did we went to the discovery centre for the morning. We hadn't been there for ages and had a great time.
I watched some older kids use their coats as mats on the slide, decided to have a go with my jumper with great results...whoosh!
Went to the dentist with Dad in the afternoon, I loved it. the chair is brilliant and makes me giggle from the moment I see it. They do a good line in Spiderman stickers too.
And then today it was back to Nursery for me, it was photo day and I made sure I looked like a drowned rat when I arrived after refusing to have my rain cover on the buggy this morning. Ooops, still, the ladies made sure I was looking my best for my photo shoot by whipping my soggy trousers off and getting them straight in the tumble drier! All I told Dad was that I poked my tongue out at the the man with the camera....I bet they can't wait to see the pictures....
