Trampolining is still suffering from low numbers, we get a trampoline each every week. It's brilliant not having to share but very tiring. It didn't wear my jaw out though, I told the instructor lady pretty much everything that had happened in the last week in great detail.
Swimming lessons...really bored of them now. I was however pretty pleased to do a whole width of the big pool doing backstroke.
Dad was rubbish on thursday, he came to pick me up from nursery just as the water play stuff was coming out....what a rotter. I nearly tripped over my bottom lip on the way out.
Shimon came round for tea, after a little bit of negotiation we ended up having a great time with the hot wheels stuff in my room.
Friday I wore my lovely new flip flops to nursery and also decided to take my Crocs along in case I fancied a change mid-morning. Dad despairs I think.
We had our now usual friday night trip to the park after tea again. Lovely!
So the weekend was upon us, we paid a visit to Grandma in her home, the grounds are lovely:

Here I am flying my plane. I had a kick around with Dad and we spotted a small deer and a pheasant lurking in the undergrowth.
Us girls sat about in the sunshine:

We made a daisy chain, looked lovely I thought:

In the end, even Dad and I succumbed to some lazy sunshine lolling:



We headed home for lunch and then I was off to Eva's party, the social event of my year so far.
We played pass the parcel:

We played musical statues (well, something like it anyway...):

And we had party food of course:

All my nursery friends were there and we had a lovely time outside, especially in the paddling pool.
And while all this was going on, Dad and I played Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics on the Wii. How very seasonal. I missed Mum and Ellis very much though, even if they were only gone two hours.
Then it was on to Kimi and Marny's place for more paddling pool action, i'm loving the water:

I'm practicing my best brit abroad look, shirt off, eating McDonalds:

Sunday was another lovely day, we ended up having a lunchtime barbecue with Grandad and Anne, Alan and Hayley and Andy. It was really hot and sunny so trampoline time was sweaty work!
So, no update next week as it's holiday time! A bit further afield than Wales this time but hopefully it'll be just as good, see you all soon!

Well we well and truly missed last week didn't we?
Ooops, yeah sorry about that, things have been quite busy recently so sit tight and we'll play catch up.
Been doing lots of sports lately, Tennis at school has been great fun, we've played plenty of it and I love it. Mum came to see me at swimming lessons, I don't think she was particularly impressed with what she saw. After Dad and Auntie Christine had bigged me up I was more interested in racing accross the pool and mucking about with my float.
Then of course it was voting day, i wasn't nearly so excited about as Ned was.
No, I had been whipped up into a frenzy by the whole thing and couldn't wait to go to the polling station after tea. It was all a bit of a let down truth be told, all over very quickly. I wasn't allowed to vote (even after questionning the lady behind the desk at length) so it was a complete wash out as far as I was concerned. Apparently no one really won either, weird!
We took our old cat to the vet for a check over, she appears to be fine and well, even if she is getting a bit straggly looking. I'll make sure she gets plenty of cuddles.
Alan Hayley and Andy came round on the friday evening, to discuss holiday matters, all very exciting!
Not as exciting as Alan's monster bucket of KFC, chips anyone?
So back to last weekend then and it was haircut time. We love haircuts.

I even got some wax to put in mine, when I can be bothered of course.
We were due to have a barbecue at my friend Hugo's in the afternoon....
And my friend Luca's (Hugo's little brother), not forgetting Matice of course (the inbetwen brother).
But the weather was rubbish. We went to JJ's instead. How exciting was that?
We had a great time playing with the boys.
And I went down the drop slide all on my own loads of times.
I went down on Dad's lap a few times too!
On the sunday we had a nice lie in and then went for a walk accross the field:

To the big park up at Wash Common:

These big swings still give me a peculiar feeling down below you know!

We did loads of climbing of course:

And then had to walk back. I was okay most of the way....with baby Faye in her buggy.

We had Alan and Hayley to babysit for us on a school night, they turned up with McDonalds this time, with an extra portion of chips for us, how lovely of them. They really do eat like kings!

They let us stay up pretty late, seeing as it was a school night.

Not late enough for my liking of course.

Mum came to see me at trampolining club last week in her lunch hour. I loved showing off my tricks and the height of my bouncing to her. I didn't like her leaving and going back to work though. Much sobbing. Oh dear.

My swimming was much better this week though, I can now do proper backstroke. Not sure why you would want to swim backwards though.....

Had a trip to the dentist on Thursday, I love the dentist almost as much as the barbers. The dentist said I had really nice teeth, nice and clean and alligned. I took a spiderman sticker for my trouble.

And I bottled out of a trip up and down in the seat at the last minute, but still helped myself to Princess sticker on the way out.

It's that time of year again when we can go out after tea. We headed off to the local park friday night on our bikes.

I love the park, there's always someone there from school to play with.

So then we're back to this weekend and after months of planning and re-planning we finally got to go to the woods with Shimon and Yannick on our bikes. And climb trees. And eat biscuits. Great stuff.

We had a few friends over for a barbecue on saturday afternoon, which of course meant trampoline action! And the chance to show off my hula-hooping skills. I'm really quite the expert at that you know!

We had a trip to the shops to pick up a few holiday items on Sunday, and in a rare turn of events no one got angry or shouted or got marched back to the car (including Dad). Bit of a result all round that one I reckon?

I started my new multi skills sports club after school on Monday afternoon. I loved it, even if it does mean I get to watch a little less telly. We played dodgeball this week, was good to be on the winning side of course.

I made the most of my longer Ned free afternoon by having the trampoline to myself as well as the TV remote.

Speaking of Ned free entertainment, Dad and I went to the big park in town at lunchtime with Mum today, we had a nice play and an ice lolly (don't tell Ned)

Our school project this week is about the art of Jackson Pollock, we took to the garden to do some action painting:

The finished work really did look quite good.....
And I think thats just about it and everything is back up together?

I had a cool reading from school last week:

So even though we have a trampoline at home I still like to go to Northcroft on a Wednesday for a bounce with 'my friends' This week we had a different teacher and because there were only four of us we had a trampoline each! Pretty tiring that was I can tell you.

I had swimming again, truth be told i'm getting rather bored of it all now.......

When we got home, Dad made us have a bbq for tea instead of sitting in the nice warm dining room:

I went to nursery dressed as Peter Pan for a world record attempt no less! Good work on the costume making Mum:

I loved the outfit so much I wore it home when Dad came to get me. I did get changed before going to school to get Ned though.

Sue came to look after us friday night (Happy 40th Nick), we had a good evening as always.

And then it was the weekend and things all got most irregular.

We went off to stay with Auntie Christine and Uncle Ian while Mum and Dad went off to London for the night. They were going somewhere fancy apparently, but who cares what they were up to anyway!

We had packed our overnight bags and we were off! We spared Mum and Dad an emotional farewell as quite frankly we couldn't care less that they were going.

We had a lovely time, we went to Milletts farm, we baked cakes with fancy icing, we made play dough and best of all we watched the Sound of Music....again and again and again, Uncle Ian loved it!

We really did have a lovely time so thanks very much to Auntie Christine and Uncle Ian. I hope it wasn't too traumatic for you both.

Monday then, Crafty Raft day, and as always the weather was a bit rubbish. Still, we headed out with some of the gang the biggest draw being the fair of course.

Max and I went on the mixer on our own, we loved it:

Leo and I settled for the more sedate roundabout:

But we all got on the bumper cars, here I am with Mum:

And here I am with Andy, I managed to palm Dad off on Max:

It was top fun.

Although I had almost nodded off by the end of it all.

We wandered back to Kimi's house afterwards to play with his toys....good stuff!
