We built an obstacle course at nursery on Wednesday outside in the garden. I had to get the grown ups to help me move some of the bits of apparatus. I'm very strong of course, but not quite strong enough.
When we went to pick Ned up from school and Ben's Mum had seen that mornings harvest festival performance, she said Ned was very good in it!
Hmmm, well I had been practicing for months at home. I also made everyone a personalised notebook at breakfast club. They all seemed very pleased with them. Dad got a special one with lined paper and used it to make his shopping list.
The cat decided that my loving was a little bit too full on again and issued me with a warning scratch. I cried like hell but we were friends again before tea time.
I took my shield to school on Thursday, everyone was very impressed with my effort, Mrs Douglas wanted me to keep it at schol for a bit but I was having none of that and took great pleasure marching out into the playground with it after school.....I had to give it to Dad pretty quick mind you, it's quite large and rather heavy.
I also got commended on my Thursday harvest festival performance by Noah and George's Mum.
Mum came to see the harvest festival show on Friday, she loved it of course. I got stung by stinging nettles playing in the grounds after school, but Alastair fetched me a doc leaf in record time, what a good mate!
We had a team lay in on Saturday morning, before getting up and heading to the races.
We hadn't been for ages, so it was all rather exciting, we loved watching the horses go around the parade ring:

But the racing wasn't nearly as cool as the army being there. I shot a paintball gun:

I had a go with a real sword:
We saw Montgomery's old car from the war and talked to the man that looks after it:
I tried on a pilots helmet:
And we took on the obstacle course:
And I beat Ned everytime (even though he did help me up and through the high bits):
I also beat him at the laser clay pigeon shooting (with a little help from Dad, well the gun was very heavy).
But what was super cool was driving the bomb disposal robot, forget robot wars:

Dad finally got a winner so we spent all his profit on sweets:

We had a trip to the Sainsbury's on Sunday morning for some Halloween stuff, it was far more exciting than it really should have been.......
And then in the afternoon we went up to the Wash Common park on the bikes. I met up with my friends Maxim and Ruby from school.
I reminisced about my old bike, it looks pretty small these days:
I rode it with no stabilisers again for a bit but I really can't see what all the fuss is about and got them put back on again.
Monday then, half term, so Mum was at home with us for the morning. It's lovely, we stay in our pyjama's for ages, play with our toys and eat a long leisurely breakfast:

By the time Dad got home at lunchtime we were ready for a bit of action so demanded that he take us to the BMX track. He obviously didn't take much persuading.
We met up with Kin and Fen as well which was great as Fen and I compared notes on giving our siblings wedgies and had almost as much fun climbing on the railings as we did riding the track.
I rode the track, it's a serious business. My jumps are coming along nicely and I got to race a wide variety of other kids. I also got to talk at them about my various track visits, my bike, the bike I want father christmas to bring me, whether you should ride the track the wrong way round, as well as telling people off for walking accross the track and using micro scoters. All in a friendly way of course!
We got up bright and early today to head for the cinema to see the film Marmaduke. We loved it, I especially liked the doggie blowing off on the bed!
Yeah, it was a good film, i'd wanted to se it for ages too.
We came home on the bus which was really cool, especially as it seemed to be driven by Jenson Button it went so fast.
We spent the afternoon playing games on the Cbeebies website....
.....Ned was helping me to do them, sometimes he's a nice big brother.....
