Bad Weather = Indoor Fun

Bad Weather means that we have to play indoors and we had very wet bad weather on Wednesday so Daddy took me and Lottie to the Science Center again whilst Mummy was at work. I have my own special card with my very own picture on which means that I don't have to give the man any pennies when I go - I get in for free!
The centre is great as there is so much to play and do. We had lunch there and then spent all afternoon there, playing in the water, driving the crane, I was shattered when I we went home.
Yesterday Daddy, me and Lottie went to meet Auntie Leigh for lunch at the McDonalds near where she works. It was a double good thing, seeing Auntie Leigh and going to McDonalds. Then we went to the shops and me and Lottie got a we present - a film called "Gnomeo and Juliet." When Mummy came home of work we had a film night, with popcorn and sweeties and marshmallows.

How does your Garden grow?

In between all the wet and windy weather I have had a little chance to get into the garden and do some planting in the veggie plot with Papa. Our Rhubarb has been growing well this year and this week we put in Broccoli and Cabbage and some more Peas as the last Peas we put in have been a little slow in growing. It's nice to grow some food we can eat.
I've still been spending most of my time playing with my Lego. Yesterday I built a swimming pool and then put my crocodile in it! I like my Lego a lot at the moment.
Last night I wasn't too well. I've been a little off and clingy all week and Daddy had to come in my bed with me for a little bit last night. I seem a little better today, although I had a great big sleep this afternoon. I'm sure I'll be all better soon!

Boy's Toys!

This month I've been kinda busy with boys toys and they are great. Firstly, I've got into proper Lego. I found the little Lego I had a little frustrating when I was playing with Mummy the other day whilst Daddy was at work and it made me cry. When Daddy came home from work, to cheer me up we went on an adventure into the loft. Daddy found some old boxes and I was very excited when we looked inside because they were full of Lego! As Daddy's old white box was a little bit broken, we went out and got a big new box. Daddy's Lego is now my Lego - yea! I only cry now when I have to put it away.
Secondly, the other day Mummy and Daddy and Lottie and me when to a big toy shop and I played with a racing car set, Scalextric! I had forgotten that I have one at home but this morning Daddy and me set the track up and raced. I crashed the blue mini a couple of times and it came off the track and hit Daddy in the head once! It was really silly!

I'm glad I'm a boy, because boy's toys are just the bestest!

Parks, Picnics, Pooh-sticks and Play

Today was the first day when we have not been busy for a while and with Mummy and Daddy both off work it was officially a 'play-day' and play we did. Mummy packed us up a great picnic and we headed for Rouken Glen - a huge, fab park. The weather was warm and sticky and we found a nice spot to eat our picnic. Then we went for a walk through the trees and by the stream. There was lots of bridges to cross and Daddy taught me a game called "Pooh-Sticks" and it's not rude or anything. What you do is drop a stick from a bridge and then look for it coming out the other side! It works good with a leaf, but it doesn't work with stones at all. Then We had a walk around the boating lake, fed the ducks and we had an ice-cream and then I played on the park. What a lovely day!

Daddy's Birthday Family Outing!

Happy Birthday Daddy! Daddy's birthday was on Friday and he had a lovely day. We got him some nice presents. A replica 'Escape to Victory' football shirt, some sweeties, some speakers for his iPhone and Daddy also got a jumper and some Lego which I helped him build in the morning. On Saturday we then went on a 'Birthday Outing' and it was a great outing! Lottie and me were moved to the car whilst we were sleeping as Mummy and Daddy set off early to go to the Lake District. I got dressed at a service station and we then went to Haverthwaite where we we going for a ride on a steam train! It wasn't a little pretend steam train, but a real-life-proper-full-size steam train. I got to watch it back up to the carriages and then we all climb aboard. We had tea and cake and juice and a gingerbread man on the train and Mummy's cake was huge! We travelled on the train to Lakeside and we got off the train and we then went for a ride on a big white boat! It was lovely weather so we sat on the roof of the boat. I saw a water-skier, some boats, swans and ducks and a turtle-dinosaur (a crocodile) and a whale.

The boat stopped at Bowness-on-Windermere and we got off and had a picnic. Daddy got me a ball and we played with that for a while. It was very sunny and lovely. Soon it was time to go home so we had to get back on the boat. I had a little snooze on the boat journey on the way back but I woke up in time to got back on the train. On the way back I spent most of the journey looking out of the window of the door. The train smoke smelt funny and it was great to see the engine when we went round a bend. It was the best birthday outing ever!

Lego Bricks Rock!

Series 4 of Lego's collectable minifigures has been released and I think it is the best series yet. Series 1 was good, but series 4 is very good. There is a Ice Hockey Player and a Punk Rocker who I think are my favourites. There is also a footballer who is pretty good, Frankenstein's Monster and a guy in a Hazmat suit, a Viking, a Musketeer, an Artist and a Garden Gnome who I like too. Today was a "Daddy play all day" day as Daddy wasn't at work. Mummy was though, so Daddy had to do all the looking after of us. This afternoon, Daddy and me built some of Daddy's Christmas Lego. We built a long car called a limo and helicopter and I played with them all afternoon and after tea and after my bath. There was a pilot, a limo driver and a lady and a man. The roof comes off the helicopter and the limo so that you can get the people in. There is even a TV in the limo! I know this is "Daddy's lego" now, but I'm sure it won't be long before I inherit it - someday it'll all be mine, all mine! Moo-ha, moo-ha-ha, moo-ha-ha-ha! (That's my evil laugh, by the way.)

Happy Birthday Auntie Tor!

Happy Birthday Auntie Tor! If I was living near to you I would make you some cakes like I did for Lottie's birthday, but I'm sorry I don't. Happy Birthday - Love you! On Friday I went on a train to the big town with Daddy to go and buy some new clothes. My trousers had suddenly got short and stopped above my ankles! I had lots of new clothes and it was great shopping with Daddy. Friday night we all went to see the Clan play their last game this season. It was a great game, but we lost 5-4 to the Panthers. There was a big pillow-fight that was exciting and I got a new girlfriend - one of the cheerleaders! I think she was impressed with my Pom-Pom skills!
