I had my last week of school swimming lessons...yay! It was fun week as well so I quite enjoyed it. The bad news is that i have to go back to proper lessons, after school one evening as week. Re-enrolment isn't for a little while though so i'll have a few weeks off.
I had my assesment week and quite honestly if I haven't passed with flying colours it will be the biggest shock of the year so far.
I was so glad the teachers were on strike on Wednesday, especially after Ellis had her day off for teacher training the other week. I got to spend the day with Auntie Christine. We went to Sainsbury's of course and I discovered the joys of the coin counting and changing machine, my new obsession!
I got to go to school as usual, but dancing wasn't on in the afternoon as the school that it's at was closed. I was pretty disappointed about that. Seeing as we'd made the effort to go all the way over to Thatcham, we thought we'd make the best of it and go through the car wash! Great fun.
The advent calendars came out on Thursday...yay!
Yeah, it was all very exciting, of course there was also the fairy truck and penguin drawers for the little chocolate deposits.
I seem to have got this years crackpot calendar, the first door contained a rather odd looking mouse on ice skates.
We had a surprise trip to Reading on Friday afternoon to rescue Uncle Alan after the train network ground to a halt.
It was great actullay, we sang Frank Turner songs all the way there and then grilled Alan mercilessly all the way home again.
We had another low key weekend, which is suiting us just fine at the moment.
Saturdays main event was the Christmas fete at school. This was the first time it had been on a Saturday so it was great that Mum could come along, even if she did volunteer to help out on the tombola stall:
It was the best stall at the fete by a mile.
It was so easy to win a big jar of sweets (and it wasn't just because mum let us cheat or anything either).
We made sure we gave her plenty of help, until we decided we ought to go and have a proper look around.
We did the outdoor treasure hunt which we loved.
I got to show Dad and Ned my classroom:
There was all sorts of fun and games in the queue to see Santa. Ned's friends Ella and Tilly thought it was hilarious that Charlie was my boyfriend. They said I should give him a kiss, so I did. We also got to meet Charlies Dad who was oblivious to the whole situation, I think Mum filled him in.
Anyway, after all that nonsesne we got to see Santa:
I asked for a 3DS.
And I asked for some cars, which surprised everyone I think. If truth be told, it surprised me a little too. Then it was face painting time, Rudolph anyone?
When we got home we watched Pocahontas, this weeks DVD club offering.
For the first week ever, everyone stayed awake throught the whole thing, I don't know what that says about the film?
Sunday we had to go out for a walk.
As usual, we were in a frenzy of excitement to go out...NOT! I almost had to go naked as I refused to get dressed.
And as usual, we loved it as soon as we were there.
Especially as we took a route that billed itself as being super muddy....it was as well:
We found cool little bridges, great big sticks to wave about and super slurpy mud that got your feet stuck and tried to steal your wellies...great fun!
