Saturday Night at the Movies

Last Saturday night saw us dressing up again for the annual STOS Xmas function. We had great fun this year coming up with something different for the theme "Saturday Night at the Movies". Check us out and our friends Mike and Tania Fleming!

School Carnival

Yesterday I took Thomas to the Frankley School carnival, or should I say he took me. The morning started early 5.45am with a very excited boy jumping into bed with me telling me all the things he wanted to do at the carnival. Top of the list was seeing Scooby Doo and Shaggy Doo (as he calls him) in The Mystery Machine.

We wandered off and found our way to Room 3 to buy a very cool looking maraca that Thomas had made in class, and then we found our way next door to the cake stall. After that it was time for our first (of many) rides in the Scooby mobile (as we named it).

We then headed off to the sweet stall and found a gingerbread man (nicely tucked in the lunchbox for today) and then grabbed a drink and had a rest.

Then it was back to the Scooby mobile and this time Thomas wanted to ride in it all by himself, of course I let him.

We stopped for a bit and had some lunch, sausages in bread and an American hot dog - Thomas loved the hot dog! He had loads of fun watching the big boys sponge wet the girls and when the boys jumped in for their turn Thomas paid his money and proceeded to take aim (from a couple of feet away). They were well and truly soaked, and I haven't seen Thomas cackle and such a long time - where did he get his sense of humour from?!?!?!?!?

After a spot of face painting Thomas decided the Scooby mobile was done for the day, and he wanted a ride in one of the hot rods but as we got closer to the front of the line emotions won and it was back to the Scooby mobile for one more final ride (this was number 6 by this time of the day!). With being able to sit in the front and honk the horn and have his photo with Scooby Doo - the day ended sweetly!

... and one very tired boy tucked up in bed, fast asleep! He was very excited and couldn't wait until school today when he could show the above photo of him and Scooby Doo.
