Halloween!!

It's that time again, and time to roam the streets to knock on doors and ask for sweets in the name of witches and ghouls! We went trick or treating around Wallsend with Amy & Auntie Jen tonight and collected an impressive bounty of treats!

What do you think of the great Jack Skellington pumpkin Mummy & I carved earlier? And my costume of course!

Another tooth came out!

I lost another tooth tonight! It went straight on my bedside table for the tooth fairy!

And if that wasn't exciting enough, Amy came to stay, and Daddy made some of his excellent pizzas! Great night!

Quick nip to the bouncy castles!

It was raining in the morning but Daddy said it might get out nice later. And it did! So we dragged ourselves away from our age of Monopoly and headed out in the car!

How do you like my slo-mo slide?!

Playing big Monopoly!

After a few years of playing the children's Frozen edition of Monopoly, Daddy suggested making the step up to playing the grown up version: The Newcastle & Gateshead edition!

It was so exciting: TWO dice, loads of different amounts of money, and a much bigger board! I'm just about getting the hang of it, and I just bought my first house! :-)

Checking up on the Centre for Life

We fancied a day in town, and with Mummy away with work for two days it was left to Daddy to think up an exciting day. Armed with our Centre for Life tickets we jumped on the Metro and hurtled towards our region's capital, passing the time with some impromptu finger knitting!

First stop was something to eat - it was perilously close to lunch time and our tummies were rumbling. We checked out the Eldon Square food court and settled on PizzaStorm! Great pizzas and refillable drinks :-D

Afterwards we had a quick browse around Waterstones before getting back on the Metro to Central Station, and to the Centre for Life. There's more dinosaur stuff, and a new 4D motion ride: Dracula!! We also checked out some of the interactive brain study stuff, including one where I sat with a camera on me so Daddy could check my eye movements whilst asking me questions. There was also an interesting brainwave scanning booth which was fun!

We wrapped up our visit with an interesting show in the planetarium about our interconnected world; how we rely so much on satellites and things. Feeling a bit tired, we headed home; back on the Metro where we were reminded it's Halloween soon...

Scary masks at Sainsbury's

What do you think of this one?

Getting ready for the school disco

Tonight's the night of the school disco, and I'm ready to go!!

Sleep Out at Durham Cathedral!

Mummy agreed to take part in the Sleep Out at Durham Cathedral for Depaul, and she took me with her! It was so exciting - we took sleeping bags and some snacks, and got ourselves ready for a night sleeping in the cathedral! It wasn't too cold but it wasn't very comfortable and we weren't allowed to eat in the cathedral. We raised £10,000 as well so that was really good!

Finger knitting!

Been finger knitting tonight and made this massive long (but really thin) pink scarf! Found more wool so plenty more things to make!

Making my packed lunch for my school trip!

The night before our school trip to Rising Sun Country Park and my packed lunch wouldn't make itself. Here I am making a special treat sandwich for the trip: jam sandwiches!
