We've both got really keen on our learning logs this last week or so.
Yep, even me, theres a house point for anyone who gives there's in on a monday for us juniors....although I doubt i'll ever get one with our usual weekend schedules.
My drawing and artwork is coming on in leaps and bounds too, i'm doing some really nice pictures and some of them are even on paper (and not on my arms, legs or tummy).
I read an entire book with Dad while Ellis was dancing on Wednesday, it had well over twenty pages as well.  This is a real first for me and I was pleased as punch.
I still love my dancing and keep breaking into routines or spins at every available oppurtunity, even during the most mundane moments.
We had to go out for a ruddy walk after tea thanks to Ellis.  Well, I say walk, I took my bike.
Yeah, and I took Dad's skateboard.  I love the skateboard but I found out it isn't quite so good up hills or accross acorn strewn paths under the trees.
I did drumming during my golden time at school on friday afternoon, with some cool bongos.  I loved it, in fact golden time is brilliant in Juniors with so much to choose from.
We had a bit of a surprise on Friday night after tea....
Yeah, how about some new bikes:







We were very pleased with them, mine was shiny.
And mine had gears, I was a little bit overcome for a short time but soon got out on it to give it a quick test.
I would rather like a basket on the front of mine for transporting my soft toys or my babies.  I'm sure i'll get on fitted soon enough, Dad will love that.
Owen, Alan and Andy came round later (get well soon Hayley).  A great oppurtunity to show of our new wheels and manage to get my cool light up helicopter that Slim and Trace got me from Brazil stuck on the roof...not a happy boy.
We had a very slow start to the weekend with a saturday morning lie in.
Followed by helping Dad make pancakes for breakfast...about time to, i've been asking for weeks!
I love the maple syrup but don't like the pancakes so I dip my toast in it!
We eventually left the house after lunch, I was itching to get out on my new bike again:
So we had a trip to the park, a few laps of the little track down there provided a good oppurtunity to get to grips with it, even if I did crash into a tree and graze my shin on the pedal.
I had a few laps on mine too, but peferred to practice my monkey bars (which I can now do, a little bit anyway) and going down the twisty slide as backwards as I could.
It ended up a bit of a rush to get me to James (the new boy at school) party at Northcroft later in the afternoon.  I was pretty excited about it actually, he was having a football party! I had a great time and was even made captain for the match we played and got to pick my team.
I got dragged round town with Mum and Dad, we tried to find me a new winter coat but all the shops were rubbish and almost empty, Mum says it's because Park Way is opening soon?  Whatever, I rode round on Dad's shoulders which was great until I fell foul of a low doorway...WHACK!!!!!!
I also love writing my name, whenever possible and if there's no pen and paper to hand i''ll improvise with my breath and the car mirror:
Sunday we had a sneaky trip to Legoland.
Yeah, we were supposed to arrive a bit later than usual, get all the rides we like ticked off and then leave early.
We hadn't however banked on the Beavers day out.....the place was packed!
We couldn't even find a bench to eat our picnic on.
But armed with out insider knowledge we got on all our favourites (the Pirate boat, no hands all the way, the Big Dragon roller coaster, the cars and the boats).
But most of all Lego Rocket Racers game, which was closing at the end of the weekend to be replaced with something new for next year.  I'm pretty upset about this as it was probably my favourite thing in the whole place.  Still, we'll have to see what they replace it with I suppose....?
