I don't, I hate it, I whinged all the way round....thank goodness we didn't go far.
I've got a proper chapter book as my reading book from school now, my first one. It's about monsters. I read three chapters in the car with Dad while Ellis was dancing but got distracted by a load of year five girls who were also at the school for a netball match. They kept on waving at me through the window of the car.
We've got a few new girls in dance class now, so i'm kind of one of the old ones now.
I had a rubbish day at school on Thursday. I got told off by everyone for everything, I actually ended up in tears at one point as it got to me in the end.
Friday was a bit better though, Mum helped me take out my wobbly tooth at long last, so that was the tooth fairy visit pencilled in for that evening.
After swimming lessons of course. We're getting near the end of the course now so our teacher had her clipboard out to do marking.
Yeah, so did ours. I made sure I tried my hardest all the way through as I really want to put an end to swimming lessons once and for all.
We took Ned and dropped him off at his school disco on Friday night, it was supposed to be a nice oppurtunity for the rest of us to go out on a lovely whinge free walk. Trouble was that when we got to the hall the hall the thumping music and flashing lights were such a temptation I suddenly didn't want to go for a walk anymore, I wanted to go dancing.
Sadly Ellis, it was juniors only so tough luck. We had a great time of course and I even bought Ellis a packet of sweets with my own money to try and soften the blow for her.
We had a day out on Saturday, it's been a while hasn't it?
Monkey World as well.
Brilliant, far enough away to have a bit of a kip in the car on the way too!
Aside from the monkeys, there are of course loads of playgrounds:
Sadly I wasn't walways quite as good as the monkeys at climbing:
The Orang's were really lovely, especially this one at the bottom who loved his blankie just like me:
He walked round like a ghost, he was rally funny and seemed to be really enjoying making everyone laugh.
After a massive amount of petitioning we were finally allowed our picnic.
We had to wait until almost twelve o'clock....disgraceful!
After lunch it was off to see the Lemur's.
We love the Lemur's in their free range enclosure:
We were very quiet and gentle and managed to get quite close to them.
Not as close as my little friend here would have liked to have got to me though:
He followed me up and down the window seat, all the while clutching his little bit of salad that he was nibbling on.
Parks, did we mention that there were plenty of parks to play on?
Here I am on the 'Children over 8 years old' section of the playground:
There were some really good swings too, we could both go on this one together:
Blimey it went high though:
That was down to good pushing and a lot of screamed encouragement on our part though!
We headed back through the park, taking in the last few enclosures we'd not seen already.
The highlight being one of the chimps who decided that clapping his hands, waggling his lips and then banging on the glass to frighten unsuspecting passers by was a worthy form of entertainment.
I asked if we could just stay in this saturday night and have an early night. Well it would make a change for once. I got my wish after we'd watched some saturday night tv.
I dragged all my bedclothes downstairs on Sunday morning for a lengthy cuddle up session with Poppy and the TV.
I joined in when I got up.
Then I helped Mum and Dad with some gardening out the front.
While I played Cool Math Games on the computer.
We rode our bikes up to the Wash Common park in the afternoon.
We had a lovely climb/play/swing before heading home.
Where I decdied to have a proper good good bike crash riding back down the farmers field.
And I really let Dad down when I spent the whole descent talking to mum about Roundheads and Cavaliers instead of charging down the hill on my bike.
Back to school on Monday, the week has started well for me as i earned and extra two golden time minutes.
We had a visit from a real and proper author, Simon Murray who wrote the Icky Doo Dah books. It was really good and i've been drawing some rather brilliant Icky Doo Dahs myself. After school cross country club went well. I came second (to a year six) at this weeks non-race-race. Maxim's Mum who teaches us told Dad how well i'd run when he got there to pick me up.
