Memory

Sophie:
My memory has always been good, here are two examples of it...

S: Do you remember when we last went to Amber's house?
Mummy: er, why?
S: Do you remember that we drove along the road to (local village)
Mummy: er
S: it was when Daddy didn't have his job and we passed him in the car by the tree with huge branches, he didn't see us so didn't wave
Mummy: er....
S: It was a Thursday

Mummy checked the photos from the last time we were at Amber's house- yes it was a Thursday...18 months ago!

S: You know my class had their coffee morning
Mummy: which coffee morning?
S: The one on the 22nd January 2010 at 10.30 in the morning
Mummy: (pretending) oh yes, that one, what about it....

When I was very little (age 18 months) I could remember where every piece of a 48pc jigsaw could go, I then learnt to read around the same age and just remembered the words- reading was easy to learn because I could memorise words easily!

Going, going, gone!

Camping weekend

This weekend we all went camping again. Mummy learnt quite a good new lesson in that 'never put up a brand new tent without reading the instructions, and never attempt to put up a tent single handedly whilst juggling a fast moving boy'.

Once the tent was up and we were fed, Daddy arrived!

We had a great weekend. We did some caching (20 new ones- see other blog), went to the beach, ate ice cream, cycled, went to the forest, ate more ice-cream, watched wild ponies, climbed some trees and ate some more ice-cream! We also took in a quick lunch at a tea rooms and had a look round their gardens.

Some caching

We have now found 328 caches. Tonight we released a few Travel Bugs into some local caches. Our caching this evening involved quite a lot of cows, lots of peas and an electric shock!

Here are Theo and I watching the cows watching us:

Here I am eating peas from the nearby field:

Mummy got an electric shock from a farm fence. She tried it first and it was ok, then she put the buggy over the fence, leant on the fence and SHOCK. She swore.

Expensive tastes

Yep, that is a very large salmon fillet that I ate all by myself! I did share a bit with Theo, but not much! Please excuse Percy eating some of Daddy's! Dinner also included potatoes and broccoli grown in the garden.

A soft pillow of garlic bread

I'm not really a fan of napping in the day. In the week I tend to take one nap a day. Some days this nap is very short and I end up very tired by dinner time. I'd eaten my spaghetti bolognese and was chewing on some garlic bread when I suddenly felt the need to sleep...so I did!

Mummy learns a lesson

Theo:
Mummy has become a bit lazy about taking spare clothes for me when we go out. This literally backfired on her tonight. We were at a nice restaurant when I decided that a poo was in order. I'd eaten the best part of half a punnet of blueberries the day before so the results were explosive. As Mummy, Daddy and Sophie finished their dinner, I chewed on some chips wearing nothing but a nappy (diaper)!

Pottering round the garden

Theo-
Here I am having a wander round the garden. Please excuse the long grass, the weeds and the uneven ground!

Sophie:

This weekend Mummy and I ran the Race for Life charity run; all the monies raised will go towards Cancer Research . We had to run 3 miles with 2500 other girls and women. I ran nearly all the way (I walked for 100 yards). I finished the race in 41mins30secs. I got lots of comments from the other runners, they all said I was very little but very fast! I was very tired at the end, but very pleased with my medal. I took my medal to school to show my friends and teachers. One of Mummy's friends is very ill right now so we ran with her name on our pink race number.

Feeding myself

Theo:

I'm trying very hard to feed myself.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Sophie:
This is my new favourite book. Every night Daddy reads a chapter to me, then, when he goes downstairs, I carry on reading ahead of him! We finished this book a few nights ago, so now we are reading Prince Caspian. Last night Daddy read 2 chapters, then I read another 2.5 in my head!

A quote from me:
"you know Aslan...he sort of died and then came back to life again...that's a bit like Jesus"

First Camping Trip

Theo:
This weekend I went camping for the first time ever. I've only just stopped having milk in the middle of night so this was a factor in why I haven't been camping sooner. I had a good time though I did find it odd going to sleep in the light and waking up when it got light. I slept fairly well though.

Sophie:

I had a great weekend camping. We also went caching and we did loads! We did 30 caches on Saturday and then today we did 27 more. We now have 300 caches in total!
