Pancake day, we had some at breakfast club, that was a good start to the day. Then we did our sponsored pancake toss:
I managed 32 flips in a minute, with no practice. Pretty good I reckon.
We had a trip to the library. We had to walk down all the class together. The trip was a bit of a let down though to be honest, a load of talking and about 40 seconds to actually look at books.
It was of course gymnastics day, yay! On the way home conversation moved towards my belved ex pet Poppy. I decided she'd make an excellent pet as a ghost. We wouldn't have to worry about her when we went away and best of all she wouldn't make me sneeze!
We had our final netball practice before the upcoming tournament. Exciting stuff, although I am a little nervous about it all.
Being as it was pancake day, we got Dad on duty after tea.
I had to supervise him of course, poor man, he had to make thousands.
But we all got to have a go, and the verdict was unanimous this year, traditional pancakes are lush!
Especially when kept simple with just fresh lemon juice and a lot of sugar.
Reading is going well at the moment, I tore through Olly the Octopus in record time with Mum.
And I watched another slew of Minecraft videos on Youtube.
Wednesday
We had an assembly with a visitor, a hearing dog for the deaf. He was a cocker-poo (obviously hilarious). It was all very interesting but sadly we didn't get to give the star of the show a cuddle.
After school we had a cuddle up session watching an episode of Worlds Most Dangerous Roads on Dave. Right up my alley. They were in South America.
I was pretty into it as well though, we certainly wouldn't fancy being driven along some of it thats for sure.
Once that was finished it was onto another favourite, Storage Wars. We watch all the best stuff.
I took to my bedroom to finish my maths homework, I can't concentrate with Ellis chirping on, Dad's singing and the telly blaring.
Thursday
Our after school dance was loosely based on Indian style moves and I loved it. So did a lot of the Mum's who commented on my performance afterwards.
Not ones to leave things until the last minute we were frantically trying to sort out our costumes for tomorrows world book day at school.
Tensions got a little high at times but I think we got there in the end to everyones satisfaction.
On top of that I also had a class assembly to learn my lines for and my spellings to learn before Fridays test.....oh dear.
Friday
Well the costumes were good in the end:
The Demon Dentist for me.
Rapunzel for me!
We do rather enjoy a dressing up day at school, everyone joins in, even the teachers.
Here's some big news, I finally passed my level 4 swimming and picked up some lovely positive comments along the way. It's certainly taken a while. Poor old Eva didn't though, so thats us split up at lessons for the time being, I hope our paths continue to cross though.
Auntie Christine came round to babysit in the evening, even though she was feeling a bit under the weather.
It was lovely to see her, it has been a while since she's looked after us.
Saturday
Early start at the netball tournament up at Park House school.
It was a lovely day as well, which was a bonus.
The netball itself was okay although I think the John Rankin C team wasn't going to set the world on fire. We lost four of our five games, but the one we won, we won very well!
I took advantage of the lovely day and the wide open expanse of playground available by practcing my roller skatng:
I'd only shuffled around the house on them since Christmas, so I had a lot to learn. Within a couple of nervous shuffles holding Dad's hand i'd got it cracked though:
I was soon gliding accross the tennis court with relative ease. I loved it!
And even though we didn't perhaps get the results we wanted we loved it too:
I'm sure it will stand us in good stead for future tournaments, and
I hope we can repeat the success of our A team, they came third overall!
It was all done and dusted by lunchtime, so we headed into town for lunch in Costas.
Before getting Anne a birthday card from Mum's shop.
I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing off my Lego set from Christmas (a swimming pool complex with a slide, diving boad, hot tub, cafe and changing rooms with a shower).
I headed off out to see who was about. The usual suspects were found down the park, Hugo, Ben, Ali. We went to the shop for sweets, and might have, maybe knocked on a few doors and ran away. We came back to our house for a bit of a Minecraft session.
Except Ben, he was more interested in my Lego.
Sunday
Anne came over, we took her out for lunch in honour of her birthday.
We had a nice meal, especially the puddings which were awesome.
It was a lovely sunny day so we ventured into Victoria Park afterwards.
It was heaving, but good fun.
It was, especially seeing my old friend Pedro, I hadn't seen him since nursery but we still recognised each other straight away.
Once we got home, I could only find Hugo, but I didn't mind that. He stayed around our place until his mum summoned him home at tea time. Then it was A Top Gear special in the evening, but sadly Mum had managed to break my television while tidying my room. I always said it was better left messy. The upshot was that I was allowed to stay up and watch it, so not all bad.
Monday
At least Dad bothered to turn up in time to see our dance this week.
Cross country was good, I got to be custodian of the stopwatch, a very cherished honour, only bestowed upon the most senior team members.
After school it was the top notch excitement of having a new tyre fitted.
We love having new tyres fitted, theres so much to look at and ask questions about.
We're sure the bloke loved having us hanging about and getting in his way.....
