Friday

Last football training sssion of the year.....it was FREEZING!

It was Rach's birthday, rather than get a babysitter we were allowed to go out for a curry.

Now Ned and I operate on a pretty narrow band of food tolerance so this was going to be a bit of a test.  Turns out the starters were an absoloute treat, sheek kebab, onion bhaji and chicken tikka were all totally delicious.  The curry itself wasn't quite as nice but I think we probably picked the wrong thing, the Naan bread was a triumph though.  So happy birthday and thanks for inviting us out we loved it.

Saturday

A slow start to proceedings today, but we did finally get round to putting uo some outside lights in our tree by the driveway.

Between myself, Mum and Dad we were making a good job of it on our slightly wobbly step ladder.  We were all glad when Ned came back from football training just in time to do the last and most dangerous placement...well he still had his bike helmet on so had more safety gear on than the rest of us.

Luca came by just as we were finishing off, he came in for a few games of Wii party with us which was great fun.

I decided to take Dad rollerskating in the evening.  We hadn't been for ages and it just so happened to be the Christmas party week too.  I won a few sweets some of the games before Lola and later on Libby turned up which was fun.

Sunday

We had Nate, Joel and Alan round for lunch which was great fun.. Nate loved the Nerf stuff as usual.  Joel was much happier with a. It of a snuggle instead which suited me fine:

There was a Lantern parade in town later in the afternoon and when the rain/snow let up enough we dicidd to take a punt and fo down for a look.  It was really good too, I was really jealous of the people who had made lanterns,some of them were briliant.  As well as the normal sort of pyramid shaped ones there were fish, squid, birds, dogs, pigs and even a pikachu.  I am doing one ne t year for sure.

Monday

Ned made gingerbread at school, much as I hate to praise him for anything, it was delicious.

Tuesday

It was Watching week at gymnastics, and in a rather radical turn of events my group wasn't doing floor work and we were in fact doing the vault.  I made a decent attemot at a handspring too on numerous occasions.

Wednesday

We had a Five a Side Football tournament at Trinity school afainst a load of other primary schools.  We didn't exactly set the football world alight but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  We actually got our act together and played well in our last match.

Thursday

Painted mum's nails tonight, in preparation for her work christmas party on friday night.  I selected a nice deep blue colour to go with her dress.  Two coats tonight to be covered with two coats of glitter clear coat tomorrow night.  Stage one looking good.

Friday

We had a mufti day today in aid of the school fete tomorrow.  I love a mufti day I do.

It was also school disco night, but with Mum and Dad going out for the night I had Alan to come and pick me up when it was finished.  We went over to their house.  Nate didn't recognise me with my glow on the dark moustache.  Joel has seemingly mastered sitting up all on his own too, how cool is that?  I got picked up very late.....

Saturday

A nice lay in after last nights late night, before heading out to the school christmas fete.

Mum was helping out on the book stall and I was down for helping in the games room.  There was a bit of a mix up with start times so I had a bit of a stint to endure.  Still, i had time to have a go at plenty of games as well as get a henna tattoo and have my hair Dutch plaited.

We broke out a few moves to Just Dance in the afternoon, was great fun as we hadn't done that in a while.

Sunday

Ned football again.....but at least the pitch was in clear view from where we parked.  It was actually good fun, we sat and ate our picnic and got to make as many silly comments as we liked without getting into trouble with the football Dad's.

Ned was very pleased as not only did they win well but he was awarded man of the match.  Quite a result for the bench warmer in chief.

I added the finishing touches to my Amazon River project:

Monday

We did some Map reading practice today, ahead of our Rhos trip.  I rather enjoyed it actually ans was able to pick out a lot of local landmarks and places I was familiar with.

We also had a visit to the Wash Common church for a Christmas themed visit.  It was pretty good actually and we even got to make (and eat) some mince pies!

Dentist check up today, glowing feedback for mine!  Ned still has to wait for all his milk teeth to fal out before he can have a brace and Dad is luxky to have any teeth at all at his age.
