the seaside is awesome!

happy father's day. i'm going to have to give my dad his hugs and kisses later. today i'm off to the seaside with grdad and jammma. we're going to meet up with uncle tom, auntie amy and elenor for a fun week of splashing in the ocean.

• swimming
• ice cream
• fire trucks
• baking cakes
• doing laundry
• dressing up like a pirate
• visiting with my friends
• helping do the shopping

i'm having a pretty busy time at jammma and grdad's house. there's always time for the park though, and going down the slides.

the other way i'm keeping cool this summer- eating ice cream. lots and lots of ice cream

doing loads of swimming. grdad's been taking me to the big pool. then i've got my own little splash pool in the backyard. if i see water- i'm jumping in.

went to visit the new firehouse. there were loads of big fire engines. my buddy pat from nextdoor came too. we're having a great time hanging out.

mmmmmm, cakes

in addition to doing my own laundry/ironing. jammma has been teaching me how to bake tasty treats. pingu and fire engine helped.

jammma has been teaching me about the iron. it's hot and gets wrinkles out of things. blueberry loved getting ironed.

busy day busy day. there's always something fun planned. today i am making poops. jammma was starting to get worried i would never poop. today they are coming out. i like to save them up for an all day poop fest. it's kinda rainy and grey out. i'm going to do music time with grdad upstairs. we watch videos on the computer and i grab instruments from my music box and  play along. after lunch and naps we might go out for a long walk in the countryside and i can ride my scooter.

today i've been having fun with jammma, auntie amy and elenor. we went to the big shopping mall in town. it's little kid book awareness week or something. they want little kids to like books and think reading is fun so at the mall there is a big fest going on. this year's theme is the seaside. i like the seaside. they set up a giant sandpit with buckets and shovels. i got to play in the sand. books were given out. it was pretty fun.
hung out at auntie amy's house for a bit. elenor said i could splash in her bathtub. it was good fun. lots of laughing. before bed jammma said i could have some milk and cookies. awesome!

gdad and i are working on building a sandpit. the weather has turned against us though. stupid rain. i'm going to dress like a pirate and play inside instead.

pat from next door has come over to visit. i let him try out my trike. he let me try out his rocking boat. good fun.

I ATE SPONGEBOB! and he was delicious.
it's sunday at jammma and grdad's house. grdad had to go to work and i woke up in whiny baby mode. everything was very dramatic and the slightest little upset resulted in tears. to top things off it's a bit rainy out. i want to go out and play but it's raining. booo. jammma and i have just been playing with my toys and watching some shows. mom and dad went out to do some shopping. i had to take my stupid nap. when i got up grdad was home from work and it wasn't raining out any more. this day is starting to look up. i played a little outside. grdad and jammma put together a huge feast. we all sat down and had a nice dinner together. i ate peanut butter and jelly samiches. they were nice. everyone finished eating dinner and the lights went out! what the heck? the room went all dark. the power is out. we need candles! jammma went in to the kitchen for the candles, she brought them out in a spongebob cake. everyone sang happy birthday- TO ME! what a great birthday surprise.
spongebob was so tasty i ate 3 slices. auntie amy and elenor came over for a visit. elenor played with my toys. grrrrr. i didn't want to share but i did.
a few minutes ago mom and dad loaded their bags into the car and left. mom told me to be a good boy and to listen to jammma and grdad. i nodded my head and said- yes, mom. blah blah blah. i gave out kisses and waved bye bye to them. now i'm ready to have a fun holiday with jammma and grdad. we've got lots of exciting stuff planned. but first- time for bed.

just doing the usual fun stuff at grdad and jammma's house. mom and dad are watching bad tv in the front room. i'm running around the rest of the house having fun! fun fun fun. uncle tom, auntie amy and elenor have all come over to visit. jammma set up my paddling pool and i had a good splash outside. there's been bubble blowing. all kinds of awesome saturday afternoon silly stuff going on. summer time rules

busy day. mom and i have been doing all kinds of stuff. there are things all over the house. i keep touching things. what's this? what's this? what's this? mom is all- stop touching stuff. i am tired and grouchy and full of whine. it's kind of hot out too. mom and i went for a quick walk around town. that went ok, until i dropped my penny. i found the penny but then cried and cried. i wanted to put the penny in my pocket, but then decided to hold it. then mom took the penny. there was lots of crying and mom is all- it's a penny, come on now. we stopped off at subway so mom could have a lunch treat. i didn't cry in the store but as soon as we hit the street again there was more crying. got home and mom said i could share her samich. whooo-hoo. so i sat in my chair and started eating the samich. it fell apart. pieces of lettuce fell out, the sauce dripped. my hands got messy. i started crying. the whole thing was very upsetting. mom went and made me a peanut butter and jelly samich. i ate that up, no problem. then i asked for the other samich back and mom said no. so i cried some more.
when lunch was done mom cleaned me up. she told me to get blueberry and go to bed, so i did. i had a nice long sleep and woke up in a much better mood. dad was home- how long did i sleep? there were bags of stuff all over the house. mom said it was time to get in the car and go go go. awesome. it was a long car ride though the countryside. a looooong ride. i kept asking where are we? where are we going? can we just go to jammma and grdad's house? mom said we would go there after our trip through the countryside. i'm done with the countryside, can we go now?
finally in the end the car stopped outside grdad and jammma's house. fantastic. i am visiting the grandfolks for my summer holidays.

 
there's exciting stuff going on in town. mom and i walked out the front door today and the work guys were setting up barriers. there were barriers along our whole walk into town and then all over town. mom and i went on a few adventures. first we stopped at sainsbury's and picked up some things dad wanted. then we walked down the big hill. i kept asking mom- where are we? what are we doing? look at all the houses! mom said we were going to visit the new american style diner and talk to the bosses. so we did that. kind of boring but i was a  good boy so mom bought me a chocolate milk shake. mom said C- for the chocolate milkshake, it was watery and hardly tasted of anything. i thought it was delicious. after the diner mom and i stopped off at the art gallery. we looked around. mom spoke to the gallery owner. i told him that i like to paint pictures. he said i should bring some in then and maybe he will put them up. mom said that she would be back and bring some of her work. after that we stopped at the big kid toy store. mom bought some display sleeves for her art project. she said they were the prefect thing to hold her little prints. blah blah blah.
finally we left the arcade. i wanted to keep walking down the hill but mom said- we need to go up it. i had a little melt down. but i want to go to the shops. whaaaaaa. mom was all- we will go to the shops they are up the hill. see this makes no sense to me since we usually have to go down the hill to get to them. that means we should still go down the hill. i cried for a few blocks until i realized that mom was actually taking us i the right direction. we stopped at one shop and they had some really cool fighter jets in the cheap toys box. mom said we could get them. awesome.
we kept on walking around town going in different shops. the barriers were all up. lots of people waking around and a million bicycles. what the hell is going on? we came across two huge fire trucks parked up. i walked around looking at them. i talked to one of the firemen and told him about my firetruck. another fireman gave me a balloon and some bubbles. what a day! there were loads of different booths set up. mom and i stopped at a few of them and picked up free things. i got another balloon from the halford's stand. it was a floaty one. they are sponsoring today's event- some kind of bicycle race through the town. mom says later, after dinner we can go watch a bit of it, you know since they will be riding right pass our front door.
and that was our big adventure in town today. on the way home with my balloons i told mom- this could be the best day ever. she laughed at me and sang the spongebob song.
mom and i went out and watched the bike race after dinner. it was good fun

today mom and i didn't leave the house. mom tried to talk me into going out for walks, poking around the shops, even the park. all i wanted to do was stay home and play with my big fire truck. i looooove my big fire truck. i spent all day driving it around the living room and rescuing people.

i woke up and it's june, what the heck?
so dad is home. i really missed him. i spent most of yesterday telling him how much i love him. he went off to work today, same as always. mom and i did our usual morning thing. i'm still a little snotty but i feel better. we walked around the shops. the first shop we went in had the most awesome firetruck i have ever seen. mom tried to pretend like she didn't see the huge red thing sitting on the shelf two inches from her face. i had to keep pointing at it and asking her to get it down. finally she opened her eyes and got it down so i could look at it. i clutched the firetruck to my chest and said- ok, take it home now please. mom laughed at me. she said since i was a good boy while dad was away and i've been sick, and i've been super good about using the potty and not to forget sleeping through the night in my own bed, ok i could have the firetruck. AWESOME!
mom paid for the truck and we went off to the other shops. mom found a pair of shoes and she got those. even dad got something he likes. everyone got cool stuff today.
not much to report about the rest of my day. i'm just been playing with my firetruck. it is so cool.
