It must be getting towards the winter, we've been having the odd sniffle and snotty nose.
I also had an enormous coughing fit in the night, at least Mum woke up!
Obviously this had quite an effect on my nights sleep, consequently I wasn't up to much at trampoline club on Wednesday after a full on morning at nursery. Add to that the fact that there weren't many of us at trampoline club and I had one all to myself, I was well and truly bounced out within half an hour or so.
My massive golden time gains at school took a bit of a hit and managed to lose two of them. I'm not telling anyone why I actually lost them though.
Shopping on Thursday, and a special treat for me.... a new duvet and cover. A real, full size one too. I had the choice of a Peppa Pig or Disney Princess cover and although I deeply love all things Peppa Pig the Princess' won out. My bed looks extra snuggly now and some mornings I even wake up without ice cold feet.
After school we packed up the bikes and headed for Snelsmore. We had a lovely explore but didn't find nearly enough jumps to keep me happy.
We found some cool old building with a puddle in the middle though:

I rode for miles and miles, but eventually i'd had enough and Dad had to carry my bike for a bit.

What does he expect anyway? Look how little my wheels are!
Friday night and Auntie Christine was coming to babysit, I know, two different Aunties to babysit inside a week, how lucky are we?
I outlasted Ned easily, and stayed up proper late and everything.
Hmmm, Friday nights are never my best time, i'm usually done from a hard week at school and am prone to crashing out.
Mum went to work on Saturday so we had a full day with Dad. In a shock outcome we didn't spend the whole day at the BMX track!
No, we went to Eddie Catz, the new indoor playgorund place that used to be Fantasy Land. It was brilliant as well, almost as good as the BMX track in fact. I had a great game of football on the football pitch with some older boys. I once again dazzled Dad with my ball skills.
We had a great time and stayed for ages, in fact we stayed until we were in desperate need of lunch and had to go.
Once lunch was done and dusted we had a bit of a snooze and then started on this weeks school project. We were all sent home with a cooking apple and had to do something with it. Mum came up with the idea of Apple Shortbread. Turned out to be a great idea, especially in conjunction with some ice cream:

I've written a full recipe out with pictures for my project.
We picked Mum up from work in the afternoon and settle ddown for some serious saturday night sofa action before bedtime.
Mum had obviously had a tiring day at work though, she fell aslepp on my bed after my story and I had to wake her up because her snoring was stopping me from going to sleep!
Had a nice lay in on Sunday before we headed for the Watercress Line railway.
We arrived with seconds to spare before the train pulled out of the station, Mum and I were the advance party....
...leaving Dad to get my wellies on before we could catch them up.
I was so worried they'd get left behind.
But we had it all under control and no sooner were we sat down the train moved off.
We do love riding on the train, especially when we have an extensive picnic to graze on as the countryside rolls past.


When we reached our destination at Alton the train itself had to change ends, we enjoyed watching them couple it back up again, even of it was tipping it down with rain:

Luckily we had managed to keep just enough picnic back to last the return journey, we needed the energy it provided for out chicken danicing in time to the train puffs!

After the train we headed into Babystoke as we have decided to call it from now on to get me a new winter coat. Riding up and down in lifts is always cool and I got my new coat in a very quick and easy fashion.
I took a piece of my apple shortbread in to school for my teacher on Monday, I suggested she eat it with ice cream when she got home.
