Very weird scenes on Tuesday, Mum was on a course in Bristol and had to leave really early on the train.
In fact, she was gone before we even got up. This could only mean one thing.
Dad would have to get us ready for school!
Amazingly, things went really well, in fact so well we were sitting about for ages before it was even time to go to school.
Things went well on the whole, except we forgot my PE kit bag. Which was doubley dozey seeing as we'd packed it the night before and everything. We did parachute games with Mr Gilham after school, I loved it.
We went to pick her up in the evening from Didcot railway station which was pretty cool.
Yeah, we loved the power station chimneys.
And the longer drive meant we could play on the Ipad for even longer.
We were very pleased to see her when she got back even though she'd only really been gone a few hours.
The same thing happened Wednesday, except we didn't have the spare time waiting for school to open as we got up a bit later.
I think Dad enjoyed the lie in actually.
And I got a bit of a headstart on my project about transport, i've decided to go with steam trains this week.
I was back at ballet this week with a renewed vigour. It'll be exam time soon and having found my medal out from last year, I really want another one.
We picked Mum up from the station again, she said that two days travelling was quite enough for her and she was very pleased she only normally has to walk into town for work.
We agreed with her as well, we did miss her in the mornings.
Thursday was a really rainy day, which suits me fine. I'm still loving my new wellies so any excuse to wear them is okay by me. I'm also not at all bothered about getting wet, so when it was time to go and collect Ned I wanted to ride my bike.....in just my shirt! I got soaked and my hair went all curly. Mum was a bit worried about this as it was school photo day the next day.
Friday was pretty much the most exciting day of the week....our class pyjama party! We'd had a vote on what to do when we filled our marble jar and this was the clear winner. I made sure I had my full outfit of pyjama's, sunglasses and flip flops. I looked more like I was on a lazy morning in cornwall than at school. We had sweets as a midnight snack and took a teddy in too (little Roo for me, spent all day with his head poking out the top of my sports kit bag).
After school I was back at swimming lessons, brilliant! I was looking forward to it, and when Eva and Lois turned up I was over the moon.
Then it was time to pick Mum up from work, rush home, get changed and go to Team Kennet.
Mum took him so dad could stay home and cook my tea...poor old Ned had to wait for his.
I didn't mind. I loved it again and made easy work of learning standing triple jump even though most of the others struggled a bit. I was really proper tired when I got home though....
We were up and about reasonably early on Saturday morning.
So we got off to the Oasis in Swindon for some more swimming.
I was keen to get in the water again, I haven't been for a while and with holidays coming up I wanted to make sure I hadn't lost it.
I love the pool so much and didn't stop smiling or laughing the whole time we were there.
We came home and helped Mum and Dad do some tidying as Abi, Faye, Kimi and Marney were coming round with their respective grown ups later.
Yeah, the grown ups were all eating I think, we stayed upstairs, all on Ellis' bed watching DVD's.
It was really cool, I had my Hello Kitty lights on and the big light off and all my cushion collection to slump on.
We watched Honey I shrunk the kids and most of the Lion King before we could could smell some really good cooking coming from downstairs. I had to investigate. Andy was making proper, real doughnuts, awesome! I helped him dredge them in sugar and then served them for him. I of course had to charge a handling fee....they were lovely. So lovely in fact I was still talking about them on Monday.
After our late night, we weren't really grumpy at all on Sunday.
No, we did okay actually. We went to some shop or other and got ourselves a few bit of clothing.
Yeah, Me and Mum actually agreed on a few things too which was a pleasant change.
And then we moved on to the real meat of the day, Ikea to get stuff for my new bedroom. I'm really excited about this so getting myself a coupe of new duvets and a chest of drawers should be just the kick to get things started. But first I apparently have to have a massive clear up in there?
We came home just in time to see the repeat of Take Me Out from saturday night, cool.
Then it was Monday again. We danced to 'I like to move it, move it' at after school street dance club, we loved it.
So did me and a couple of the other big brothers who had our own little dance club going on in the back corner of the hall.
