Andy came to babysit for us on Tuesday night. I think I heard it right when they said Mum was going to the Camp Hopson quiz, and Dad was going with her?
Weird or what?Anyway, we had a cool time and a little bit of a later bedtime than we would usually have had on a tuesday, cheers Andy.
Wednesday we had our school trip to the Panto. We didn't go to Basingstoke this year (I think mainly because many people didn't stump up the 'voluntary' contribution towards the coach and what have you last year). Anyway, Newbury Corn Exhange it was, which meant a walk too. I was quite happy with that though.
This meant I got to go to Ballet on my own, I got to sit on the front of the car and everything. I loved it. I also got the results back from my exam the other week, 87% no less and some very encouraginbg comments. I was really pleased about that.
We were a bit later back than planned, Miss Walsh told Dad that a sing song had erupted at the railway bridge that lasted all the way back to school.
The show was a very worthy diversion from the main business of the afternoon, eating sweets.
I'm still getting loads of stick for my wobbly tooth collection, Mum's really on my case t get them wobbled out....but it hurts!
I had my re-scheduled and rather late parents evening on Thursday. I wasn't too worried about it even after my shaky start to the new school year.
Cool thing was that as Mum had to leave work earlier than usual she got to see me at dance class, we did this cool spy themed one.
Turns out I was right not to be worried, well almost. Apart from being a massive chatterbox i'm doing really well and Mrs. Khosla reckons i'm very bright. I'll take that.
Then it was friday already, the weeks are flying by in the run up to Christmas. It was Mr Gilhams last day at our school.
This is a real shame and i'm, sure that one day when i'm an Olympic champion or something i'll giove him a name check for setting me on my way.
We did more rehearsals for the school christmas play, I got commeneded on my super loud delivery of my lines.
I had swimming after school of course, and yet more good news for me this week, i've passed level 3 with flying colours!
And I decided to give Team Kennet a miss again this week so I could go to film club at school. I'm certainly going next week though, thats for sure. The film was okay, messing about with Alastair and Ben was much better though.
While Ned was at film club we took Mum out for her work christmas do, on the way home we drove through town to get a good look at the christmas lights which I loved.
Saturday didn't start all that well, there was a fair amount of squabbling and a few raised voices.
This set back plans to go and get the christmas tree somewhat.
But after a bout of prolonged better behaviour we were soon on our way to Yattendon.
We'd already decided we were going to get a monster tree that touched the roof!
It was busier than when we usually go (a wet, dark evening) but there were plenty of trees to choose from.
As usual we settled on one of the first ones we found.
Even if we were rather surprised we were actually allowed it.
We were soon home with the massive beast and we all had a turn at cutting a little bit from the bottom of the trunk before we wedged it into the busket and stod it in the front room:
Our mission statement was definatley realised, we had to chop the top off a bit too to stop it bending over!
Decorating was great fun.
Unless you happened to fall into the tree like I did. I think I got away with it though.
Unlike most other years we could pretty much empty the entire decorations box onto it without it becoming overcrowded.
We srtood back and enjoyed our handiwork:
Even if the poor old cherub might well get altitude sickness:
Andy and Owen came round in the evening, we treated them to a very impressive dancing display before we went to bed.
Yeah, Gangnam style all the way!
Sunday we went to Auntie Christines for the day while Mum and Dad went shopping.
It was every bit as brilliant as we'd have expected of course, what with Auntie Trish, Darcey, Laura and Owen all playig their parts too.
There was of course baking, craft activities and other Christmas related goings on.
Including a top secret mission into town.
Which I walked into, and indeed back out of without a hint of going on anyones shoulders.
Thanks for a lovely day everyone.
Back to school today then, I made a lovely hat for my School Christmas lunch tomorow. Well, I say a hat but due to some of my design features it has proved rather difficult to actually make into a hat. I'm sure we'll come up with some modifications.
We also did a dress rehearsal for our nativity play, the lighting failed, I hope that's been sorted out before the real thing!
