This weeks food fad, scotch pancakes for breakfast. I love them, I love them so much that some mornings i'll put 4 away no problem. And bread, I love bread at the moment too, dinner, pudding, two slices of bread.
While we're on foodstuffs, i'm getting really good at recognising stuff by smell alone. There's the weekly herb recognition session in Tesco's and this week when I came home from nursery I could correctly identify Shepherds Pie was cooking for tea. Brilliant, I love shepherds pie.
We've still been hitting the park on a regular basis after school, i've doing lots and lots of hot laps on my bike and hitting the jump hard. So hard in fact that I managed to move my back wheel a bit leading to the chain coming off over and over again. A quick Dad repair sorted that out though and I was back up to speed the next day.
So the weather has been hot for ages, we've both got our lovely fans on in our bedrooms to keep us nicely chilled over night.
Been stuffing our chops with lovely tangle twister lollies.
And in my case been for a sneaky afternoon dip in the outdoor pool on Friday. Dad picked me up from nursery and we headed straight there before we went to pick Ned up from school, he's sick of swimming anyway. It was brilliant, we jumped, we splashed, I did knee swimming, bum swimming and some cool floating. Hope it stays sunny so we can go again.
We picked Mum up from work and went to buy a tent....it was a very big, very heavy bag. We offered to help Dad carry it and then realised how heavy it was...and left him to it!
Saturday, Legoland o'clock!
Well, it's been a while hasn't it?
Driving, after last times poor showing I was much more up for it this time round. I even sort of paid attention in the pre-drive briefing:

I was convinced by Ned to go on the Scarab Bouncers, as there was no queue I didn't see what I was in for before we got on:
Consequently I spent a good two thirds of the ride duration pulling a face of pure terror before deciding to enjoy it.
I did my best to get her onside by giving her cuddles and showing her I could do 'no hands'
It was so traumatic I had another go straight away.
I enjoyed the swing things from the start to the end:

Dad and I loved the pirate boat:

What goes up......

...must come down:

And of course because it was warm we could enjoy the water area without shivering:

We went to see Grandma on Sunday morning, but instead of getting glared at by scary old people we took her out for a walk along the Thames:

It really was rather pleasant watching the boats go by.
Some of the boats even had doggies on them, I loved that!
When we got home we decided we should try the tent out, here's a sneak peek, with hopefully more to come on next weeks update:
