Madame Tussauds

Had a really great day out in London with Pickle, nanny & Liz on Saturday we went to Madame Tussuad's, cant believe how life like some of the wax works are, had a great picture done of pickle jumping into my arms, made to look like a Warhol picture, and took pics with Cheryl Cole and jack sparrow, there was a great taxi ride that took you through much of the history of London pickle rode with nanny, i got a taxi with Liz, near the end of the tour we went to see a 3D super hero movie and it was great not only was it 3D but the chairs moved and vibrated and air and water jets mad you feel like you were really in the movie, pickle loved it she said the movie and the taxi ride were her favourite bits, after Madame Tussuad's we went to the south bank to eat, it was such a lovely day, after tea me and pickle got in our Pj's and watched a movie and ate pop corn, pickle loves pop corn, then we got into bed and i read her story's from the books she bought from school, Sunday morning pickle asked if she could ride her bike to the park so we got it out of the garage and she put her safety helmet on and we went to the park, pickle asked if i thought it would be long before she could take the stabilizers off, i said i didn't think it would be long and then we could go riding together, after the park it was time to get the train so we said bye bye to nanny and set off.

Daddy is so proud of you pickle x

Its Thursday night and I'm feeling so happy, because tomorrow i see pickle, in the morning i head to Sheffield on the train ill have some lunch then make my way to Issy's school, i cant wait to see her and tell her how proud i am of her, pickles teacher has said how well she is doing in her lessons and this week pickle was awarded a star, pickle is looking forward to the weekend especially Saturday night as she is having a sleep over with Jake and Annabelle, she asked if i could get pop corn and a movie for them, oh and i have a little surprise for pickle, in her room is a new pink TV I've been promising her for quite a while, i hope she likes it, well I'm going to get some sleep got a long day ahead, will post again soon my gorgeous girl,x

What do we say when we have a nice day? HOORAH Pickles face was a picture when she came out of school Friday and saw nanny waiting for her, she ran to nanny and gave her a big kiss and cuddle,pickle loves her nanny steph so much, we headed for the train station and got the train home, when we got to nanny's Jacob was waiting for us, nanny looked exhausted from traveling to Sheffield and back in one day, so i suggested Jacob have a sleep over at mine with Issy. pickle and Jake liked the sound of that so we went home all got in our PJ's, made some pop corn and put a movie on after we had stuffed our faces and watched the movie i put pickle and Jake to bed, but before they would sleep they wanted to know what we would be doing the next day, so i suggested we head to London go on a duck tour (its an amphibious bus that takes you round London then drives into the river and becomes a boat) pickle and Jake were very excited about doing that, so in the morning we got ready and headed to the train station, on the way we stopped at nanny's to tell her what we had planned, when we got to London we walked towards the EYE and we saw the the duck tour vehicles Issy and Jake wanted to get straight on one but we had to go buy tickets first, we got on our tour bus it was called Mistress quickly and set of round London sight seeing, then after about an hour we drove down a ramp straight into the river Thames with a big splash Issy and Jake thought it was so cool, after the tour finished we went to eat on the south bank at a place called giraffe Issy and Jake got a balloon each and let them go half way across the millennium bridge, as we walked across the bridge we spotted a load of broken skate boards below it was cemetery where kids chucked there boards when they were broken, we carried on walking to covent garden and look at all the street performers, time was getting on and i had to get Jake back, to go to his dads so we hired a rickshaw to take us pickle and Jake liked that as much as the tour, we all had such a great time and all shouted HOORAH
