After school sports club was cool on Tuesday, but it might be my last one!  I've been on the waiting list for gymnastics club for ages and a place has just became available.  I've got my trial lesson next week so i'll see how it goes.
Hopefully better than rugby did this week.  There was a lot of silly behaviour and we spent most of our time waiting for people to stop messing about and pay attention. It's mostly the year threes and I decided I was going to have a word with our teachers the next day to see if we could get something done about it as the rest of us really want to learn and get our team together for some competitions.
But today's main event was going round to see Millie, the new arrival.  She was so tiny and lovely.
She was, we were really rather taken with her it has to be said.
I was a bit jealous though, we got her a blanket like mine as a present.  First off it was pink, and secondly the back of it was lovely snuggly soft fleecy material.
Miss Langdon beat me to it regarding the rugby, she called us all together and pretty much read the riot act and promised that anyone not taking it seriously wouldn't be allowed to come in the future.  I hope it works out.
I get no such issues at ballet on Wednesdays thank goodness.  I'm really rather enjoying it at the moment actually.
I'm still enjoying school swimming.
And i'm still getting the hump as I can't go yet!
In light of the cold weather and that we decided to have school dinners on thursday...pizza day!
Yeah, they're lovely too.
I had to have a mega rush around friday night as it was team kennet and then film night at school.  I made it just in time to get to the food stall before picking the best seats in the house for the film, Paranorman.  
I got to have a quiet night with Mum and Dad all to myself!
I got to go swimming on Saturday morning...well, that was the plan anyway.  But when we got to the Coral Reef it looked suspiciously quiet in the car park.....
Yeah, it's closed until March for refurbishment!
So it was back on the motorway to Basingstoke pool instead.
I can't really remember going here before so it was all new to me.
I was a lot bigger than last time we went so I was well up for it.  The slides here are brilliant, two of them you use a tube to ride in, one of those you can go two at a time in as well!
I didn't much like the two man version, it had uphill sections in it, they were a bit noisy.
And as well as that they had the space bowl too.  I went off up the stairs for a go.  By the time i'd plopped out of the bottom, Mum had been watching everyone else coming down and after one actual rescue that the lifegaurd had to make from the splash pool she'd convinced herself i'd hate it and was rather on edge.  It was pretty clear by the momentary glimpse of my beaming face before I plunged into the pool however that I loved it!
Mum and I preferred to sit in the jacuzzi!
Next to the fun pool there was also a proper normal pool too.  
We had a go in there as well and really enjoyed doing handstands and doing actual proper swimming.
And I got to show off just how far i've come with my school lessons.  Dad has now declared me a better swimmer than him (easy) and also Mum (not so easy).
When we got home had some of Dad's speciality, luxury hot chocolates.
Topped off with squirty cream, Marsh Mallows and grated dark chocolate.
Max and Leo came round for tea.
And even more importantly they bought pudding with them too:















The finest selection of ice creams, cornets, flakes, sprinkles and sauces we'd ever seen!
We played on the Wii (which is in my room now..Skylanders ahoy) and the Ipods.
And Leo and I got the Lego out amongst other things:






















And we stayed up so late you wouldn't believe us if we told you what the time was when we went to bed.
Or if you did, you'd probably tell us off.
So we were in no hurry to get up on Sunday morning.
But we did manage to get to Anne's in time for lunch on Sunday.
After lunch we went out on our scooters.
I'm loving my new one I got for Christmas.
And I want one just the same for my birthday, it's really cool.
We went for a walk round the estate and found some really good hills to bomb down on them too!
We both had really good days at school on Monday, Finished off with dancing for me.
And cross country for me.  I came home impossibly muddy.....
