Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

So I was a little toad at nursery on Tuesday. I decided I didn't want to do as I was told and please myself instead.  It has to be said that this is most out of character for me, so I think Claire Bear actually found it quite funny really.  Normal service has been resumed now though.
I also learned to hang upside down, by my legs with no hands in the school playground, cool or what?
I was also doing cool tricks in the playground after school, removing wobbly teeth to order.  I think Ella was well impressed, she even went and got a tissue for me to wrap my tooth up in.
We decided that we should have a trip down the park after tea, but I decided, as I didn't want to wear my helmet that i'd take the scooter instead of my bike...bad mistake.  On the way home I had a rather heavy crash while trying to perfect my bunny hop technique.  It was a face first crash and it happened so quickly that I still had hold of my handlebars as I hit the floor.  So on top of my squashed nose, grazes and unicorn style head bump I also had five skinned knuckles.  I didn't even cry straight away....until I got home, Dad carried me and was covered in blood which set me off when I saw the state of his shirt.  Mum did a great job and sat me down and got me all cleaned up.  She was a bit worried though when I couldn't really tell her how many fingers she was holding up, didn't know if we'd had any tea or not or how i'd done this to myself.  She made a quick phone call and they suggested I get checked out at hospital.  I didn't really like the idea of that much but I gave in.
I was pretty worried about the whole thing as well, but did my best to keep Ned cheerful.
I got checked out and the nurse said that I was okay really, so that was good.  I fell asleep on the way home.  When I woke up next day the tooth fairy had still been, £2 this time as well because apparently the tooth was super clean and nice.  Result, in fact it was a bit of a shame that I didn't maybe knock a couple more out in my scooter crash.....
I had a pretty impressive collection of scabs to take to school with me on Wednesday, which I wasn't too keen on.  I like to keep it low key at school.  No chance, everyone wanted to know what i'd done and the teachers went into fuss overdrive.  Oh dear.  I even had to stay in at playtime to do quiet activities, turns out that this wasn't all bad and I got to stay in and do Lego with Tegan and Ella.   When Dad came to pick me up and ask me how my day had been I gave him a one word answer....tedious.  What made things even worse is that I had to miss Multi Skills after school as well.
Yeah, poor old Ned, at least we could leave for my dancing in plenty of time though so that made a pleasant change.  We go there early enough to have a proper chat with one of the dance teachers before the lesson started while Ned sat in the car, hiding his scabby old chops.
The fussing continued into Thursday at school though, I was well and truly tired of it by now, so it was a good job I had my dancing day on Friday instead:

There were a few of us from school and loads of kids from some other schools and we had a really good day, even though I didn't really want to go through with it when we arrived.  I was worried about having to fend off scab questions and didn't really know what we were going to do all day. 

I got to go to nursery with Luca as well, excellent, Mum didn't even come with us either.

We put on a bit of a performance for the  mums and dads at home time which went pretty well, I really enjoyed it actually.

Seeing as Mum was with us and didn't go back to work we had a bit of time to fill so we headed to the newly opened play stuff in Victoria Park.

Yeah, finally!

It was brilliant, I really liked it and was all over everything as fast as I could:

I wasn't quite so excited as Ellis, even before I smashed myself in the eye with the sand digger handle.  Oops, that'll be a big black eye to go with the scabs then.

We had a lazy morning on Saturday while Mum went to her work meeting.

We watched a bit of telly, nothing exciting.

Then it was eventually time for the summer fete at school.  We got there when it started as Dad was on barbecue duty.

Well if Dad was on Barbecue duty, I was on winning sweets on the tombola duty.  I won loads!  I had to use Ellis' bag to conain them all.  I loved coming over to show Dad my bounty, I even let him have a couple.

I had my face painted:

I decided against that what with all the scabs and that and settled for a skull tattoo on my arm instead, cool or what?

We played all the games on offer pretty much, I almost won a coconut too:

I very nearly trapped the rat:

And I got to give my friend Garran from the juniors a good old soaking with my six sponge assault:

We stayed a lot longer than we thought we would so we were in a bit of a rush to get ready for Grandad and Annes' 10th anniversary party.

I got to wear a lovely dress and sparkly shoes and I was promised dancing!

We had a great time, especially with mum's cousins who i'd never met before.  They were technically old enough to know better I suppose (all three of them were in their twenties after all) but that didn't stop them.  We had sword fights with drink stirrers and ninja beer mat throwing amongst other things.

I danced with Mum, I danced with Dad and if I had to I danced on my own and I loved it.

We stayed really late, it was pretty much 1 am by the time we got to bed....

So there was a monster lie in session on Sunday morning.

Hmm, it was 12 o'clock before I finally surfaced, not bad eh?

We quickly gave Dad his fathers day cards and presents, stuffed some lunch down our throats and then set off for an afternoon at Legoland (we had to renew our season tickets)

Although we got in late we made up for lost time and hit the cars first.

We got to go on the brand new Atlantis ride where you go into the water in a Lego submarine through a big tank with real life fish in it.

Not just any old fish either, cool rays and even sharks!

We loved it and the tanks in the ride exit were cool too, you could poke your head up in them and everything:

I finally got a picture of Ned's scabby nose (he'd banned camera's all week):

And I took a nice one of the Atlantis ride sign:

Now i'm geting bigger we're going an all the rides as a four, it's gret fun.  We all went on the big old pirate ship for the first time and then I decided it was time I went on the big dragon rollercoaster:



Just like Ned, I wasn't keen on the bit inside the castle itself, but once we were up the hill and thundering down the track I loved it.  Mum and I screamed our heads off all the way round.  I declared the ride 'awesome'

We hot-footed it over to the Viking river rapids for a good old soaking.  Dad din't take the brunt of it this time though...

...no, I seemed to!

And then there was just time to play the computer racing game and head off home, not bad for a half day trip!
