We're in the middle of a mid-term break. I never used to have mid-term breaks when I was in creche but now that I'm in school, I do get them. And Ríodhna gets them too because she doesn't go to creche when I'm not in school. In fairness to me, I've been working very hard and learning loads and figuring out how school works so I really need a break. And I'd say my poor teacher needs one too.

Mammy is not going to work for the whole mid term break. And we had a long weekend to start off with so Daddy had a few days off too. We had a cool Saturday.

It's not even Halloween yet but Mammy decided it's time to start thinking about Santa Claus so I got all dressed up in the birthday clothes Auntie Nicola sent me (along with heaps of other stuff) and we went to Dundrum. I was meant to get boots but there were no nice ones in my size but Ríodhna got a really nice pair.

First we went to the cinema. We saw a film called Up in 3D. It was cool. Mammy and Daddy were a bit worried at the start because they thought the first bit was very sad. But we loved the whole thing. We didn't spot the special boosters for kids until the end of the film. God to know we won't have to sit on coats the next time. Thats' what we did at Ice Age 3 3D too. We're getting good use out of our 3D glasses.

Then we went into Hamleys, the great big toyshop. They were having a birthday party for the toy shop (isn't that strange) so there were loads of things to do and there was face painting and finger nail painting. Only Riodhna got things painted on her hand because her skin is too young for face paint. In fact there was so much to do that I don't think we spotted anything to get from Santa at all but we had great fun.

Then we went and got some food. I spotted a whole load senior infants and John from my class at a party. We had loads of yummy food which was just as well because we were starving...
