It was a dark day for fashion on Tuesday. I made my own trousers soaking wet playing in the water at nursery and had no spares in my bag.  That meant nursery trousers.  Oh no.  Not only that, they were dark blue cords....boys torusers!  I was so upset about it, I cried all the way back to the car when Dad picked me up.. he couldn't understand what the fuss was all about, he doesn't know anything!
I didn't bother with the Easter meal at school, the things on offer didn't make the grade so I settled for a marmite sandwich instead.
One thing I have been loving at the moment is blossom on all the trees and bushes.  I love it, all pretty and blowing around on the wind.
Mum came to my Easter assembly on Thursday morning.  I had an important job at the end of my class row so they had to come and go on my prompting.  I didn't let that put me off giving the singing 100% though.  Once again she did the business and got a seat on the front row.
I also got to go to Tesco for the shopping trip.  I quite enjoyed it actually.  I think Dad enjoyed having another little helper too.
As if that wasn't enopugh excitement for one day ot was also Mum's birthday.  We'd spent ages making the cards and wrapping the presents so couldn't wait for her to finally finish work:

She did her cards and presents and then it was the main event, the cake!
We got her a Colin the Caterpillar this year.
Yes and he was delicious.
It was the last day of term on Friday, we spent most of the day ou ton the field in the sunshine playing games.
We had to pick Ned up especially early from school so made the most of it by going to the park.
I think everyone had the same idea, there were hundreds of us down there and we had a great time. 
We took our bikes and I finally got to silence a few of my friends who thought they were faster than me (mentioning no names here of course).
I held my own with the bigger kids on all the new play stuff.
Dad pushed me and a load of my class mates super high in the basket swing and
I even got involved in a game of football, unlike Dad I wasn't picked last!  In fact I was picked first.
We headed off for a well earned ice lolly at home.
Once we'd had five minutes rest it was trampoline time, which ended a little badly.
Ned bumped me in the cheek and it really hurt.  I had a good old cry about that one.
It was soon forgot about when Auntie Trish arrived for babysitting duties though.  Once we had got rid of mum and we had a lovely time.
And I got to grips with my new 'Boy stuff Top Secret' book.  There's loads of things to fill in, I've hardly put it down since I got it.
After some early morning baking action with Mum (yes Mum you read right) we had a trip out to the theatre with the Aunties on Saturday morning.
To watch a man do tricks with bubble blowing.  He had some serious skills.
He could blow bubbles big enough for children to get into!
We went to the park afterwards, which was great fun but I think it helped contribute to the blisters I developed on my feet....ouch!  All dad's fault as well, making me wear my sparkly shoes (although I did look lovely).
In the evening we went straight round to Abi and Fayes to play while the grown ups stayed in and did boring stuff.
Abi's new play house was seriously cool at the top of the garden, though she did enforce a strict shoes off rule (well it was luxuriously carpeted).
I got to dazzle everyone with my new found swing skills.
Once it got a bit later we took to the beanbags with a big bowl of popcorn to watch some DVD's and have a snooze.  Perfect.
Sunday was the biggest event of the year, my family birthday outing to the Szechuan.  I had been getting excited about this for weeks.
And so was I, even if I only like chips and don't really care much for chinese food:
It was a really good turnout and took some considerable effort to 'work the room'
Although I think between us we managed it okay:
I was even allowed a pudding:
I'd like to thank everyone for coming along, even those of us who were feeling al ittle 'delicate' after Auntie Christines 'retirement' party in town on Saturday night. 
I know, I can't believe she's old enough to retire either!
Just so as she could start enjoying the easy life, she looked after us for the day today, she'll wish she was back at work before long.
We had a lovely day and only watched  a little bit of The Sound of Music this time round.  Still, there's always next time.
