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!

Derby win a game! Clan win a trophy!

Wow! Some Saturday's are just the best. You feel like the King of your castle! What a fab day! First of all, we had snow today - it was too wet to do anything with, but we did have about an inch of it! Then, this afternoon Derby County beat Swansea City 2-1 - a shock result for us as Derby haven't won hee-haw for ages and Swansea were second in the league. Daddy was so happy he took Mummy and Lottie and me to Pizza Hut for tea to celebrate. It was great! Then tonight The Braehead Clan have won their first trophy! They won the Aladdin 20/20 Cup beating the Panthers 3 -0 in the last game. 'Mon the Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! He didn't take us anywhere for that, but I wouldn't have wanted to go to Pizza Hut twice in one day.
The picture below is an achievement picture too. When Daddy came in from work he was surprised to find that whilst Mummy had been upstairs putting Lottie in her bed, I had got my stool, gone to the fridge and poured myself a drink of juice, a mix of orange and apple - and I didn't spill a drop! Well, I didn't spill any at the time of pouring, however, five minutes after this photo was taken I had a little accident and spilled most of the juice everywhere- oops! I just missed the top of the sideboard and it was too late! Daddy was on the phone to Grandpa at the time, but Mummy and Daddy don't get angry at accidents - they only get cross when I spill my juice on purpose!

Glasgow Science Centre

Wow! Yesterday Daddy and Lottie and me had to get out of the house early as Mummy worked a night shift on Friday night and needed her sleep. Daddy had planned that we were going to go on an adventure and he wouldn't tell anyone where we were going to, not even Mummy - which she found most frustrating. Daddy's adventure took us to some funny shaped buildings that I have never been to before to a place called the Glasgow Science Centre.

The Glasgow Science Centre (GSC) is great. Here's some advice though - dress in layers. As you get to play with lots of different things there I found that I got a little hot, then wet, but it was OK because I just peeled a layer off! The GSC has lots of hands-on learning things and some things are very clever. With one thing, in the picture above, I turned on a great big fan which blew over something that looked like the wing of a plane. I then put a little ball at the bottom of the tube under the wing, and the ball magically went up the tube until it flew out at the top!

My favourite thing there is the area where you can play with water. There are boats to play with and water gates, called locks, and pumps and valves - one had a little ball that let the water out when you pressed it in. I loved playing in the water and really should have worn an apron. There was a really nice lady who volunteered to work there who played with the boats with me.
Then we saw a real-life helicopter land next to the river. It was the same helicopter that went flubber-flubber-flubber over Daddy's car on Friday.

Daddy took us all for ham sandwiches and crispies for lunch in the cafe and then we went to play some more. There were tables where you could build with Lego and other toys, there was also some puppets to play with and some tubes that blew some coloured material high into the air. I had a really great time and even had a new big dinosaur from the gift shop.

Last night, me and Daddy and Uncle Chris went to the Ice Hockey and it was good. The Clan beat the Cardiff Devils 3-2 after 40 seconds of over-time and we had been losing 2-0!

Sports Results - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good: Last Friday night Daddy and Liam went to see the Braehead Clan who won 5-1 against the Dundee Stars. They were both very excited.
The Bad: No phone call last Saturday from Grandpa confirmed that Derby County hadn't done good and had lost 2-0 against Millwall.
And The Ugly: Last Sunday night the Clan won 6-4 at Edinburgh Capitals. This is a good result, but 'ugly' because Daddy umm-ed and arr-ed about whether he should go and then decided not too - bad choice Daddy!

Football Results!

Yeah! Another great win for my super Derby County! Yesterday, Derby won 3-1 against Preston North End (Which is the same score line as Nottingham Forest lost by). We are on a good little run picking up 10 points out of 12! We are now only 4 points off a play-off place and at the same time only 4 points off relegation - what a great league we play in - better than the Premiership any day!
We also have a new team in our house. We now support the Braehead Clan - our local Ice-hockey team. They have been newly formed this season and Daddy and Liam went to see them last Wednesday night. Sadly they lost to 5-2 to the Nottingham Panthers, but Liam was still excited as he came home with 3 ice-hockey pucks that had been fired off the ice! Auntie Love-Leigh is a hockey fan too so I'm going to watch them when I'm older! Come on the Rams! 'Mon the Clan!
