I decided I didn't want to go to ballet last week, too tired again was my reason. This time I stuck to my guns though and didn't change my mind and we stayed home instead.
Usually I would have taken this as a great oppurtunity to sack the reading off, but not these days, not with all new, improved super studious Ned. I got to spend even longer reading with Dad instead.
I had my first session at Team Kennet Athletics club on Friday night, I was glad it wasn't outside as it was chucking it down and dark, looks like winter is on it's way for sure. I was a bit nervous on and off before we went, well I didn't know what to expect. Once I got there though I loved it and couldn't wait to get stuck in.
And I got to sit and watch with Mum and Dad. He did very well actually, I was impressed!
Yeah, I was certainly keen and wanted to get stuck into everything. We had four zones to work through, throwing (indoor javelins and a basketball), agility (things to do with footwork), Jumping (standing longjump and a high jump-hand slap-on the wall sort of thing) and then relay running. Alexandria from school was there too, so it was nice to have at least one familiar face. I can't wait to go back next week!
Mum had to go to work on Saturday, booo.
Yeah, buit at least she had sorted us out with some entertainment.
Indeed she had, we went to the Corn Exchange to see the Selfish Crocodile with Dad.
It was brilliant fun, we got sat down a bit early and all three cast members came to see us, find out our names and crack a few jokes.
Then the show itself started, we got namechecked a few times during the performance.
And the crocodile himself came up to our seats to try and eat Dad, before declaring him 'Too meaty'
The whole placed laughed their heads off.
We met Mum for lunch afterwards and sat by the canal with a pasty before I took her round to the bakery stall at the market that we'd clocked on the way out of the Corn Exchange. It looked amazing, bread, bread, lovely bread! But even better than bread, fancy cheesecake...I had to have a bit. It was gorgeous, I love cheesecake!
We had a totally lazy afternoon before going to pick Mum up.
Then it was time to watch telly as 'Take me out' has started again.
Which I jibber jabbered all the way through.
I've started a marble jar at home as well as the one we have running at school. When we're good, we get a marble in the jar and when the jar is full we have a treat. I'm installing the same system at home, which obviously means a lot of talking from me. I don't think we have enough marbles in the house to fill the jar i'm using though. Maybe I should try and find a smaller jar?
I had Adriajne's party on Sunday at Eddie Cats, obviously brilliant albeit with a slight disagreement about what I should wear. Turns out that short sleeves and no socks isn't such a great idea when going down fast slides after all. Not that i'd ever let of course.
We had a sneaky trip to McDonalds while she was at the party although we did have to go to some shops too.
In the afternoon we did a little bit of school work and then played some games.
First of all was the treasure hunt we devised (check the video).
I gave mum plenty of help to find mine.
I thought she was finished quickly. I gave Dad the right run around to find his in some really devious hiding places i'd come up with.
After that little success it was a couple of board games, first up my Doggie bone game.
And then we had a go at Junior Monopoly. This normally ends in tears and all sorts of arguments. This time we introduced a 'crying tax' if anyone used any less than sporting behaviour. It seemed to do the trick though, the game passed off without incident.
Mum came last, horribly last in fact.
And I won!
Back to school today, it was lashing it down as we walked in and there were rivers flowing down the paths in the playground, was really exciting!
I've been running everywhere, to school, home from school, back to school to get my book and reading diary, back to school to get Ellis after dancing, home again after geting Ellis from dancing....all training!
Dancing, I love dancing, well, I love getting to mess about with Lillie anyway!
I decided things needed livening up during the performance so joined in t the back. I was really going fo rit too, Dad thought I was becoming a bit of a distraction though and gave me the acknowledged glare of 'stop it now' Shame, I was getting in to it as well.
My endless jibber jabber has continued unabated. Dad asked me if I was ever quiet....of course I said....when i'm asleep!
