I got my silver times tables award at school last week, i've only got a few more to do. Mum reckons I know them all well enough now, but we can only do one test a week.
He's practicing all the time thats for sure. I like to chime in with an answer here and there, sometimes I try and get it right, sometimes i'm helpfully silly...ha ha.
I couldn't be doing with ballet this week, i'm putting it down to post
exam burnout and my usual, trusty excuse of an achey leg.
So no sitting in the car reading for me, cheers Ellis!
In other news, I finally finished my chocolate factory chocolate from Spain this week, amid the intense glare of the rest of the family who have long since gobbled there's up!
Friday was swimming day again, the walk down to the pool was made a lot more interesting after we found some sticks to drag down the metal fence railings.
They made a great noise!
Back on the subject of swiming, we must be getting near the end of term now? Anyway, we were being marked again and I put in a very strong performance this week.
Edward and I spent our time wisely comparing progress on our Ipod games, i'll miss these sessions when swimming breaks up.
It was all change this week afterwards though, I decided to miss out on team Kennet to go into town to see the Christmas lights being switched on. I worked on the basis that Team Kennet is every week, the lights are only once a year and I do love Christmas and everything to do with it!
So we found Auntie Christine in town and waited by the road for Santa.
First up was the ladies on stilts with lit up dresses though, I was so excited:
Once Santa had gone through we followed him into the market place.
Where the snow machine was working overtime.
There was 'snow' everywhere.
And there were loads and loads of people, it all felt really exciting.
There was a bit of a countdown and the lights were switched on, the market place looked really lovely!
But the real glamour was in park way, I don't think this photo does it justice really:
We spent a bit of tim ein the Entertainer toy shop as well, getting a few ideas of what we might put on our christmas lists.
It was the first day of advent on Saturday....I made sure we were up nice and early to get the calendars opened!
I wasn't quite so keen as Ned it has to be said and enjoyed a bit more of a lie in.
Dad threw us a real curve ball by cooking a Saturday roast....I struggled with that concept.
I wasn't bothered what day it was, I polished it off with gusto as usual.
It was the school christmas fete in the afternoon.
We were seriously excited about this one.
Add Auntie Christine, Auntie Trish and Darcey to the mix and we were seriously enjoying ourselves.
As usual we won shedloads of sweets.
Yep, even me as well this time.
We took Darcey to see Santa and everything, what a great afternoon.
Then we all went home for drink and to start on the sweet mountain.
Dad went off out for the night, he was going to see a band, apparently called Ned's Atomic Dustbin?
Sounds like a great name for a band to me. I put in a request for a t-shirt and hoped he'd remember.
We settled down with Mum for some serious saturday night tv action before heading off to bed.
Dad was still away on Sunday morning, after seeing to our advent duties we did a mosaic christmas picture each that we'd got from the school fete yesterday.
Yeah, they look really nice if I say so myself.
He got home just after lunch, and he managed to deliver on the t-shirt front, even if it was a little bit big:
I was well pleased with it, well done Dad.
I had Neave's party in the afternoon at Eddie Katz....NOISY TIME! AFter a bit of a wobble before we went about being left on my own I had a great time and barely even noticed Mum, Dad and Ned leave.
We tended to a few odd jobs until it was time to pick Ellis up. We turned up a bit early so I could have a bit of a play. Hugo, Matice and Luca were there which was cool. We had a rather rough game of rugby on the football court but we were all up for it and there were no tears.
