After a short lay off.
Lots to catch up on, better get going!
I had Jess' birthday party two Tuesdays ago. Jess and I are really good friends at the moment so this was really exciting, especially as we'd had all day at school to work up to it as well.
We had to go and drop Ellis off before we even picked Mum up from work, I wanted to stay of course, well, it was at Eddie Katz!
Eddie Katz indeeed. We love Eddie Katz. I didn't give them a backwards glance and didn't even notice they'd left.
I did, we picked Mum up and then had to go to some really boring shops to kill time unti Ellis was ready to be picked up. The only savng grace was that I got to see Louise, my friend from school eating her tea in Sainsbury's cafe.
It was a brilliant party of course.
At least I got to have a sneaky go on the blue slide when we went to pick Ellis up.
Fast forward to Friday then, the last day of term. I was surprised to see Mum and Dad sat at the back of the hall when we went into Assembly. I gave them a little wave of course and sat down...but not for long. I was first one up to collect my special award..it was of course the end of term award assembly. Mine was for 'Improvement in Reading' What an understatement! I'm all over this reading lark these days. I got to stand up in front of the whole school and all the mums and dads with a massive grin on my face.
Friday night was party night, Alastair, Tegan and Tilly's disco party to be exact. In the school hall too.
I managed to get an invite as well as a guest of Lola (Tegan's sister), I was so excited about it, Ned was not a happy boy though, I think he thought I might cramp his style or something?
Hmmmmm, it wasn't fair. Still, as soon as we got there, Ellis started dancing and hassling older boys, leaving me to get on with having tattoos and eating sweets. I managed to cause quite a stir with my dance moves too. I got heavily paparrazzi'd during my perfomance and won several bags of cola bottles during the best dancer competition.
Indeed he did, he was pretty good actually.
When Dad came to pick us up he claimed he'd taught me everything I know of course....
We'd danced ourselves to a standstill and crashed out in the hall when we got in:
Bit of a strange one on Saturday....we had way more fun than we should have had.
Yeah, seeing as we went sofa shopping!
Apparently Ned and I don't generate quite as much mess as we used to so this is becoimg an actual possibility.
We went and looked at a few, I didn't like any of them.
I wasn't nearly so fussy and was quite happy to trial snuggle any of them.
Lunchtime was cool as well, we finally got to try out our pull down tables in the car in anger for our Marks and Spencer picnic. Two dry french bread rolls and some crisps for me.
Plain ham sandwich for me. Replenished, we went to some other furnitre shops, Dad helped break the tedium by giving us a variety of novelty carries and lifts.
Although the sofas with electric recliners were massive fun, but apparently we can't have one of those...booo.
We went over to Laura's house in the evening so the grown ups to could play cards.
Darcey had already turned in for the night which was a shame, nevertheless I had a great time with Faye and Abi making cosy beds on the floor.
We had a quiet sunday to get over our two late nights and the exciting events of the next couple of days.
The Auntie Christine sleepover no less.
Yes indeed, the first two days of the holidays were spent away from home.
We packed all our stuff up and dropped Mum off halfway to work.
Darcey was there too so that made up for not seeing her on Saturday night:
We did loads of cool stuff of course, including a trip to Eddie Katz to show Darcey the ropes!
I got to have a bath with her too, and got to snuggle into this towel that Ned reckons made me look like a smurf:
We'd packed our teddies of course:
Which we needed when we bedded down for the night.
Ellis wont he argument to secure herself the ready bed when it dawned on me that I was too big for it nowadays:
So after a lovely sleep it was time for round two. Equally cool with a trip to the park:
And the discovery centre:
We also played loads of cool board games (especially Sorry).
And of course there was the baking, amongst the loaves of bread and fairy cakes was my rather brilliant hedgehog cake:
Mum and Dad came to collct us on Tuesday night and quite honestly we weren't that fussed, they could have left us longer!
Yeah, we had a lovely time, thanks Auntie Christine, Uncle Ian, Laura and of course Darcey.
Mum had a day off with us Wednesday, we had a morning of lazing about and playing computer games.
We made a two tone jelly too!
And my request for the day was to go swimming, so as soon as dad was home from work we packed up and headed west to the Oasis.
We hadn't been for a while, it was great of course.
Last time we came the flume slides were having a bit of a makeover, this time they were all finished and I was raring to go. Dad and I were the only ones to go on all three slides, two of them head first and the other was the new super fast and dark one. I caused quite a stir going on it as everyone thought I was too little, the lifegaurd said I was okay to go on it though so I did. Twice.
It was one the coolest water slides ever, it had clear dots at the top that looked like stars shooting past as you slid down and then a stripey section which made it look like you were going back in time or something.
We had a choice of holiday clubs for the last two days of the half term, either the one at school or Dragon club...we went for Dragon club.
Turned out to be a great choice, they have Wii dancing games and loads of girls to hang out with.
It was my first time going there and I loved it too, even if I did have to scoot myself (nearly) all the way there.
Dad didn't rush to pick us up and we were happy about that, especially as he'd done the Tesco shop without us, what a lucky escape.
It was Pyjama party day at Dragon club on friday, even the grown ups joined in!
We had suxch an action packed morning (including a hot chocolate session) that we were pretty late having lunch.
So when Dad arrived we were all still sat around the table having a very civilized luncheon.....in our PJ's, with painted faces!
We were on a bit of a tight schedule though, there was horse racing on in the afternoon and I really wanted to go. So after we fought our way through the traffice we made it in time for a couple of races at least.
And a quick meet up with Darcey.....yay!
We got a good view right down the front, a good view of selections NOT winning any races.
From the races it was a quick dash accross town for swimming lessons.
I'd rather have stayed at the races to be honest.
And then it was pick mum up form work and meet up with John and Sarah at Pizza Hit in the evening.
What a great day....except for the swimming lessons.
It was good fun seeing John and Sarah, we can't wait for summer to see them again.
An early start on Saturday morning for a trampoling session at Northcroft, hat was my idea. I really miss my afternoon trampolining sessions, school really does get in the way of stuff.
I loved it too, I went well high and had some good tricks to show off.
It took me a while to get back into it really, buty I was soon back to my best.
After the bouncing was finished we took a couple of past their best loaves of bread to the canal to feed the ducks.
Even though Dad did his best to scare them off!
In the afternoon Dad and I made a super chocolately cheesecake before I went up to my room and made my first ever solo Scalextric track.
While Mum took me to see my friend Ron. I don't get to see him in the mornings since I started school so it was good to catch up.
Then in the evening we went to see the Halfords. It's been ages since we've all met up so it was really good fun.
Leo and I were quite the double act.
Yeah, a great double target for Max and I to use for rifle practice amongst other things. We had a You Tube silly videos session which was really funny.
We had a mass lie in in Mum and Dads bed on Sunday morning, it was nice actually.
But we got bored soon enough, and it turned out to be a rather creative sort of day. We decided we wanted to make a stage for a pupper show between us.
Using and old box, severl hundred tons of glitter and some other random things we could find.
There were a few instances of artistic differences but we managed to get it done before Grandad, Anne, Alan and Hayley came for lunch:
They got treated to a very special performance once we'd finished eating!
Monday then, back to school.
I didn't mind, I had a good day actually, I got an extra minute of golden time for being really sensible and sitting nicely reading my book.
And I had after school cross country club. We had a race of sorts around the field 4 times, I came second out of all the year threes so I was pretty pleased about that. There's a lot of talk about some inter-school race thats coming up, fingers crossed I get picked for that.
Finally we've caught up on videos with some leftover Christmas stuff can be viewed here:
And the fuits of my first filming trip to the Butterfly Farm on my new camera can be seen here:
