Monday 15th April:
We still had an extra day of school holidays left, so it was round to Auntie Chrisitnes for extended birthday celebrations. This involved more Skylanders figures and birthday cake at 10 am....brilliant.
We also had a bit of Easter business to attend to and painted some lovely Bunny figures too, great day!
Tuesday:
Back to school, neither of us were happy about that.
We both hate school.
Except we don't really, when it came down to it we both had a good first day back.
And I returned to gymnastics club after school, it was badge week too! I passed my level 7 badge with ease.
While she was there Dad and I went to Sainsbury's, we perused....Skylanders figures and various curry sauces.
Shame you didn't spend a bit longer evaluating the curry sauce Ned, the one dad made for tea was red hot!
So hot infact that even I couldn't eat it.
We had to have a swiftly produced round of sandwiches instead, no great hardship.
Wednesday:
What with coming back off holiday, going back to school and gymnastics yesterday I was pretty much too tired for ballet....
Result, we got to slouch about watching telly and eat a proper meal before it was time for me to go to Team Kennet. It was outside this week for the first time and even though it was seriously windy I loved it. The proper track was lovely to run on, so much more space than the sports hall. I also loved throwing the proper Vortex bomb and the real, sandy long jump pit.
Thursday:
I have now managed to amass the grand total of 13 shells for instances of good behaviour at school! The target was 10 for some sweeties as a reward. I was well chuffed with myself.
Mum had to work like proper late so we had to take the car to town for her to come home after we were in bed.
We took the bikes down with us, dropped off the car, gave her a kiss goodnight and rode home.
It was really windy so quite hard work at times.
But it was very enjoyable. We hadn't been on our bikes for ages.
Friday:
Back to swimming after a few weeks off that too, but it's not like I hadn't had plenty of practice on holiday.
Saturday:
The weather was lovely, warm and sunny so we made the best of it by doing a bit of gardening and then cleaning off the trampoline.
Yeah, we gave it a thorough cleaning for the summer season and have been bouncing on it pretty much every spare moment since.
Except for the times when we've been playing swingball.
Or having garden picnics.
It's been so good to be out in the garden again.
Kimi and marny came round in the evening, which is always cool.
And always a late night!
Sunday:
We had a nice lie in and then headed down to the Witterings.
A trip to the beach and a new wetsuit for me were the order of the day. It's quite a relief to get a new wetsuit, the old one was so short in the body it was getting rather painful to wear.
Even though we'd just been on holiday it was lovely to get on the beach for a picnic:
Monday:
I get the hump now and again at school, being on the recieving end of name calling and getting excluded from games in the playground and what have you. Today though I got three notes written by my class mates for helping out or being a good friend or whatever. It's a new thing we've started doing recently, they get collected up over time and then given out. It's made me feel much happier and Mum says I should keep them to look at next time i'm a bit down in the dumps. I think I might do just that.
Aside from all that there's been more trampoling and more swingball.
Wednesday:
Team Kennet seemed super busy this weeken, the whole family came to drop me off.
We did indeed, we all wanted to check it out, very professional looking it all is too!
Thursday:
Ned's year came up to read with us in the afternoon at school.
I got to read to a little boy who couldn't really speak any English, I hope I managed to teach him a little.
And I got Ned's mate Ella, I love Ella, we had a great time and after school she told Dad I was a brilliant reader (better than Ned according Ella).
We went to Game when we picked Mum up from work so I could get another Skylander with a voucher I got for my birthday (thanks Sue).
Then it was a quick tea and a trip to the pumptrack for the boys while Mum and I stayed in and did our make up. Mum loved it of course.....
The pump track was cool, we hadn't been for ages. There were a few grown ups on mountain bikes over there when we arrived. They were encouraging me to improve my lap times that Dad was recording for me on his stopwatch.
Friday:
A trip to the tyre place for a new car tyre after school.
We love these sort of places, so much going on, so many questions to ask.
We also went to the carwash to give the car a bath afterwards.
If anything, we get even more excited in the carwash everytime we go.
We had to do most of our swimming in the big pool getting marked for our efforts. I think I did okay?
I had film night at school, Madagascar 3. I know i've seen it before but I was quite happy to see it again.
And while Ned was there, I took Mum and Dad on a walk to Wash Common park. It was lovely except for when Dad tried to push me up the slide and just made me bash my nose really hard. Oh, and it wasn't great when he pushed Mum so high on a swing she nearly fell off either. He is daft sometimes.
Saturday:
We got rudely awoken Saturday morning so we could take dad for his birthday present MX day.
Yeah, it was quite a drive down to Sussex but we had a laugh on the way.
Dad got kitted up and then cleared off to do his riding and we got stuck into the picnic pretty much straight away.
Yeah, picnic, ball games, a sprinkling of homework, we had a pretty good day actually.
Except for me falling down a bank into a thick bunch of stinging nettles....ouch!
Dad was disappointingly slow as far as I could see.....
We dipped into Toys R Us on the way home, I spent a large chunk of birthday money on the Lego Police station i'd had my eye on for quite some time.
Then it was home in time for Britains Got Talent.
Sunday:
A day mostly at home, I built my police station:
And after a trip to town to pick up some vital bits (and a Costas lunch) it was back home to commence work on my dressing up character for book day later this week:
We also did some reading and a bit more homework, all very much standard for a Sunday I suppose.
Monday:
Our last cross country training session before tomorrows big race at the showground....how exciting!
And then after tea Max and Leo came around. I love playing with Leo, he's well up for having fun and never sulks like my friends at school sometimes do.
Max and I went down the park for a bit, because we're cool.
