Can't believe I missed out on this, we weren't even allowed a sneaky peek inside as the curtains were drawn tight at the windows.
I got a lift to nursery with Luca once again on wednesday as it was Ned's leavers assembly.
Mum got right near the front once again, she's getting very good at getting the good seats these days. Mind you, she has had plenty of practice I suppose. For the purposes of this particular performance I was a ladybird:
I was the first one on stage and made sure everyone else lined up in their right places before opening the show with my welcome lines. We sang loads of songs, really nicely of course (well, most of us did anyway). All the grown ups got proper emotional of course. The teddy bears picnic that was scheduled for after the performance was cancelled due to bad weather. A double blow, as not only did we miss out on the associated cake and what have you, Ian was denied a trip to school which would have been brilliant fun.
I of course had no dancing to go to, so there wasn't the usual rush to get Ned away from multi sports after school.
We did rugby this week!
We came home and had a massive game of catch session.
We love playing catch at the moment.
Thursday and Dad decided he was too poorly to go to work so I stayed home from nursery to look after him all day. I rather enjoyed it actually, we just sat about in our pyjamas watching telly until it was time to pick Ned up from school.
I bought all my work from the last two years home, my writing books, my numeracy books but most impressive of all apparently was my artwork. Mum and Dad were genuinely impressed with some of my pieces.
Last day of term on Friday then, my last day as an infant as well. When I go back i'll be a junior, which means proper shirts and ties among other things. I'm so excited about it all that i'm looking forward to the holidays being over already. Sort of.
Dad picked me up from nursery and we went to get Ned pretty much straight away as he was finishing early.
Yeah, we had a whole morning of golden time and then we got to go home, brilliant. We said our goodbyes to the teachers (who of course wanted a little cuddle and a kiss...yuck) and headed out to the adventure playground for one last play (although i'm sure we'll sneak back from time to time). Best of all of course, no more Mrs Wheable...ha ha!
We loaded the bikes up and headed for Wargrave BMX track for the afternoon. I was desperate to get some laps in without my stabilisers.
I wasn't going to complain either, even if the track was busy with teenagers who had also finished school for the summer.
I made pretty much an entire lap all on my own and only needed the gentlest of shoves from Dad. I had a few big crashes too, but i've toughened up considerably lately so just shrugged them off.
I enjoyed hanging out with the big kids as well.
We had a good old play in the park too before heading back home to pick Mum up.
Well Saturday, hmmm, not our usual excitemtn on offer this week i'm afraid.
No, thats right, shopping was on the agenda! SHOPPING!
We went out looking for things to wear for Alan and Hayley's wedding, yeah, we know it isn't for ages but we wanted to make sure we're all set early on.
And we are, after a false start in Marks and Spencers in Camberley (we did finally get a set of patio furniture though) we really hit our stride in the Oracle..
Yeah, you heard right, the Oracle in Reading.
The car park was brilliant to begin with, right to the top for some great views, and then I managed to get Dad to walk all the way down the stairs rather than take the lift. I loved looking down the middle of the stair well all the way to the bottom.
We hoovered up loads of clothes to try on and had a group trip to the fitting rooms, so that was a little interesting to say the least.
It was pretty cramped but we all got something we were pleased with and a great improvement over the ridiculous outfit they made me try on in Marks and Spencers earlier on thats for sure.
We just had time for the bouncy slide afterwards before heading home again:
I had the £2 instead to buy sweets...
Sunday was declared a garden day. I helped Dad build the new patio table before joining him at it for breakfast. Mum made a lovely job of cleaning the trampoline and as soon as it was dry enough it was bouncy time.
We played on it for ages, we didn't even wind each other up either.
We put on a few song and dance shows (using the washing that was hanging up as a stage curtain). Most of our material was from The Sound of Music.
Although I threw a few numbers form my leavers assembly in too.
Then, the waterpistols and waterbombs came out, we got suitably attired:
And then battle commenced:
We pretty much just attacked Dad, he loved it of course:
Mum foolishly put the camera down and then she too was drawn into it, ha ha!
We were then forced to walk all the way up the hill to Wash Common park in the late afternoon.
Yeah, I don't what that was all about, anyone would think we liked the park or something?
We were lucky enough to have a day with Auntie Christine on Monday.
We started off with our customary trip to Sainsbury's and then it was back to her place with Laura and of course the lovely Darcey for company too.
We had colouring to do, gingerbread man making and a trip to the park.
Perfect in fact, thanks to all three of you ladies for having us.
