Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

This weeks big news, i've decided I don't really need my toilet seat thingy, my bum is sufficiently large now that I won't fall into the pan. Poppy and I are still deeply in love of course:

This is how we like to spend our afternoons.

While were on the subject of cats, we've been making cat masks and writing a group poem at school to read out to the foundation class children. I've really enjoyed that. We also started work on my Nursery Rhyme/Book Character fancy dress for school on friday. As i'm currently enjoying the stories of the Wishing Chair we decided to make me a wishing chair of my very own:

We made a hole in the seat part for me to get into with a lovely pair of shoulder straps to keep the chair off the ground. For a final touch we added a pair of stuffed trousers (with shoes attached) so it looked like I was sitting down and floating about.

Trampolining had a few more takers this week, didn't stop me clearing off to bumpers as soon as possible again though.

I was a little concerned after our shoppping trip on Thursday that the boot would eat all the food once dad had loaded the car up...ha ha! While we're on the subject of shopping, I sort of broke an egg while looking in an egg box. Oops, I made Dad promise not to tell Mum.

Friday was last day of term andf the aforemntioned fancy dress day. I was a little unsure about whether I actually wanted to go through with wearing my chair (even though I had added a rather fine set of red shiny wings). I had a little chat with Mum about it before I left and we decided it was a good idea to go through with it. I was glad I did, i got loads of laughs and all the grown ups at school thought it was brilliant, especially my teacher Mrs. Jackson. It was a little difficult to get around school in though, especially up and down stairs. Once shool was finished I finally got Dad to take to the book fair in the hall. I knew exactly what I wanted, a cup cake book with loads of lovely looking cakes for us to bake.

We went bowling on Saturday morning, we hadn't been for ages so we were well up for it.

It was really busy when we got there though so we had to have a go on the arcade before our lane was ready.

When we did get playing I decided to do away with the ramp and throw the ball all by myself:

And with a finishing score of 129 (including one strike and five spares) i'd say it worked out rather well for me. I beat Dad's 122, even if I couldn't quite beat Mum too.

I stuck with the ramp with Dad helping:

In the afternoon it was baking time. Now i'm all big I get to do some of the dangerous hot stuff on the cooker:

I was really good and didn't do any tasting at all:

We were like a well oiled machine, Mum in charge, Dad sorting out utensils and ingredients and Ned and I applying the skills:

They were of course wonderful.

I had Alastairs party on Saturday night, Laser Tag at Eddie Katz, and I was seriously excited. We had a great time of course and I was on the winning team with Alastair which made things even better.

I had a game of Donkey and the Carrot with Mum and Dad whilke Ned was out, I won!
Very weird things happened Sunday, we washed our car, by hand. Not in the machine at the garage.

We loved it, squirting and splashing and soaping, some it even went on the car:

It was lovely and shiny when we were finished. We headed inside for a well earned rest and sofa duvet snuggle:

We went to the cinema in the afternoon and met up with Kimi and Abi to go and see Gnomeo and Juliet. All us kids sat together and made the grown ups sit at the ends of the row.

This was all very well and good until Abi was sick about ten minutes into the film. I went to sit on Mum's lap a bit sharpish to get away from it and start on the smuggled sweets.

Oh yeah, the cupcakes we made looked like this:

Not bad eh? We're very talented.

Monday was the first day of half term, we had a day with the Aunties, Trish and Christine.

We started off by going to Sainsbury's and stocking up on provisions before heading to the Arlington Arts theatre to see a show called the Very Noisy Night about a little teddy bear.

We had seats right at the front and got to meet the performers before the show started (this was double cool as we got our names mentioned during the show).

We loved it, and then we were off to Pizza Hut!

Before heading back to Auntie Christines to fisnish off some cake making and watch Mary Poppins.

Brilliant, thank you Aunties for a lovely day.

Day two of the holidays and it was back to nursery for me.

And a day out with Uncle Alan for me. Now apparently he was a rather terrified about having to entertain me all day but he needn't have worried of course. We got on the train to London to go to the Imperial war museum. I was so excited about this, I love all the Army stuff and the history element and having my very own military geek boy to take me was just the job. We saw loads of cool stuff, even real tanks that fought in the war! I learned loads as well, which will no doubt come out in dribs and drabs over the next few months. We were heading to see HMS Belfast in the afternoon but got rather sidetracked by the London Aquarium instead. This was also very cool, there were really big sharks in the tanks and there were bits where you could walk out on the glass over them, scary stuff. Thanks a lot Alan, I had a great time and i'll be on school holidays again in six weeks time.

And what was I doing while Ned was having a great time in that there fancy London? I was being a proper little Madam thats what. It started at lunchtime when I decided to tip my water all over the table for fun and generally cause a load of mischief. They were just telling Dad all about this at pick up time when there was a bit of a kerfuffle in the toilets. We were all soaked, had our hair full of liquid soap and were chucking handfulls of wet paper towels about...oh dear, caught red handed as well. My mood wasn't any better in the afternoon really...sorry Ned for saying I didn't like my sea horse that you bought me, it really was lovely.
