Drawing, cutting out, drawing, folding, cutting out, drawing, drawing and drawing. I'm so into it at the moment, shame I have to share my studio with the clutter of everyday family life isn't it?
According to the ladies at nursery i'm independant, determined and very grown up.....according to Mum and Dad i'm a little madam and an awkward so and so.....ha ha!
So the weekend was pretty action packed....good stuff! It started off with some visitors on Friday night in the shape of Emma and Leo, who came round while Max was at his school disco. Don't tell Ned though, he was a right grumpy and tired little monkey and got packed off to bed before they even got here. Ha ha, I got to stay up really late and play cars with Leo before having a good old chase around session too.
Saturday and we went to my choice of swimming pool, the Coral Reef. Only problem was that it's shut until after christmas for a re-fit...oops! Maybe we should have checked. After a bit of crying and sulking we decided on Basingstoke instead, having never been before we were all quite excited about our 'stand-in' venue. And so we should have been, it was brilliant! There were two slides that you had to ride down on tubes (either single or double ones). One of them even had bits that sent you back uphill, no one had ever been on one of those before! There was also a slide with a big green bowl at the end that I was desperate to have a go on but wasn't allowed because I couldn't swim well enough....i'm definatley on the case for some more lessons now!
Yes, it was really good, there were some nice slides for the little ones and plenty of water jets and a high up monkey who filled his bucket making it tip over and splash whoever was underneath it. I loved watching people get a good soaking.
My best move of the day must have been my underwater backwards somersault type thing...Mum couldn't believe it!
We had a quiet afternoon before heading to Auntie Christines to meet up with the gang to go to see the fireworks at the racecourse.
I was well up for them this year...
...I was okay to begin with but then they started getting a bit too moisy for my liking. Dad provided a decent sound baffle for me.
And then it was on to Chris and Kate's to watch our man fight the giant at the boxing. I got the best seat in the house (a huge bean bag right in front of the telly) and promptly fell asleep!
Which gave me a free run on the nibbles, thanks Ned and Chris and Kate!!!
So we had a bit of a lazy sunday morning before we went out to do a bit more visiting, this time to see baby Joshua (oh, and Chard and Oli of course).
We both love babies so we were well excited about this, even if it did take me a while to warm up.
I was of course well up for a cuddle with the new arrival:
Welcome to the world Joshua!
When we got home I was helping Dad make pudding when Mum came into the kitchen, daring me to squash an egg, betting that I couldn't (I think she had seen it on telly or something). Anyway, I got hold of the egg and squeezed it as hard as I could........and then dug my fingers in, making the egg explode all over the place. What a mess, but all endorsed by the parents...winner!!!
So, Monday then.....and I did something a little silly......I managed to get this bead stuck up my nose:
I tried pretty hard to get it out myself but only really managed to get it stuck even further in! A phonecall to Dad from the school and he was soon on his way. We went to Newbury hospital but the nurse there obvioulsly didn't fancy having a crack at it....Basingstoke here we come! We picked Mum and Ellis up on the way, well, might as well make a family outing of it eh?
We sat in the waiting room watching Cbeebies on the telly for a few hours before I was called in. They soon got it out and I was especially good at being still while they stuck things up my nose. Another good thing, we were too late to go home and get tea cooked so it was a trip to McDonalds instead....so it all ended up pretty good in the end, even if I do have a slightly sore nostril.
I decided I wanted to ride my trike to pick Ned up from school today, so nearly a year after Santa bought ot for me, it finally fits. I rode it really well and drew admiring glances from the Mums as well as the other kids on it.
I've also been inviting people round to the house as well, our old man friend from the park in the mornings and the ladies from nursery, i'm sure mum could find them a biscuit or Dad could rustle up a dinner for them!
