Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

You'd never think that Ned has actually got a set of proper face paints would you? Quite why Mum decided it was a good idea to use felt tips for this is quite beyond me:

I added a few finishing touches of course!

Several hundred wet wipes later and everything was back to normal(ish).
I'm full of attitude at the moment, I never need any help with anything at all, I know it all and I don't listen to what i'm told. So much so that I actually went all the way to nursery in a t-shirt the other day (while it was freezing cold) because i wouldn't let mum put my coat on. Actually, i think I pushed that one a bit far, she was right, and i've made sure my coat has been well and truly on every day since.
And while we're speaking of outerwear, my coat came home so dirty yesterday dad had to put the washing machine on, all on his own (once he'd rung mum to find out what programme it had to go on). Apparently my coat was so dirty, even the inside was covered in mud!
Friday was the end of our school art week and we had a special assembly in the afternoon. I was really pleased to see Dad and Ellis turn up to see our work.
And I was just a little disappointed that we'd gone to a school assembly with no singing!
Anyway, back to the weekend and a trip to Warwick Castle:

The best bit was first, the park:

Yep, the park certainly passed the Ned test:

Next up was the stocks, fortunaltey there was no spare food to throw at us:

Unlike every other castle we'd ever been to, you could actually go inside this one! I loved it, there were swords to play with (sadly chained down though), loads of weapons lying around and two horses all dressed up in armour which we really loved:

We had a lovely picnic in the grounds and almost had our sandwiches stolen by the ghost tour people.

Then, fully fuelled up it was time for some proper exploring, up onto the ramparts. Of course, I was the advance party:

There were lots and lots of tight, twisty, steep steps to negotiate, but the views from the top were well worth it:

And it was great fun waving to the people down on the ground.

There was even a princess tower to keep the girls happy. We got to dress up as princesses and have our photo's taken.
Truth be told, I took quite some persuasion to get involved, unlike Ned of course, who was well into it:

We took a walk down by the river in the sunshine, but sadly the trebuchet wasn't working:

I spent some of my pocket money on a bow and arrow set. I couldn't get the hang of it to start with but soon caught on and became quite the hotshot with it...sorry cat!

Mum went to work on sunday, the rest of us didn't do much, we built a rather extensive camp in the front room and watched Keeping up Appearances (well I thought it was funny!)

I've been managing to get myself dressed for nursery in the mornings, but got let down badly today when Mum forgot it was fancy dress day at nursery...oh dear. I was distraught, until she left and then I was right as rain. Apparently she felt bad about it all day.....

I'm still doing very well in my swimming lessons, i'm wishing the weekends away so I can go!
