I've just realised that something's happened to this blog and my first 8 or so posts have just vanished. How odd....Oh well, I'll get over it...

Okay, so it didn't turn out as bad I thought it would, but it wasn't perfect....
For the first couple of hours after we got up, me, Clare and Robert were pretty bored, and could think of nothing better to do than sit in my room listening to my new 'Fall Out Boy' CD. Then Christopher went outside in the garden to kick around his new football, so we thought 'What the hell' and went to join him. Of course, Christopher can't be the one that looses because that's just not fair. So, we eventually gave up playing that and found a tennis ball to throw at the wall. After successfully breaking something on the side of the wall...I'm not really sure what it was, we made up a game. I lobbed the ball at the wall as hard as I could and then everyone else had to catch it, pass it back to me and then do the same thing again. Trust me, it was a lot more fun than it sounds....
Christopher and Robert decided to get violent though and Robert pushed Christopher over so that he could get the ball. So we stopped playing that. As soon as we started playing another game, and after 5 minutes of non-stop 'crying' Christopher suddenly decided that he was alright and wanted to play. I told him no. If he'd hurt himself enough to 'cry' for 5 minutes, then he shouldn't be able to play catch, should he? Then of course, as all little brothers do, he ran off shouting 'I'm telling mum of you', which is exactly what he did. Thankfully, she was feeding Charlotte and Simon was the idiot that came to the door. Which made talking him round much easier, and honestly, how difficult is it for boys to admit that they're wrong and apologise to each other. They wouldn't look at each other when they said sorry and Robert had to start an argument, insisting that he didn't push Christopher over. He 'tripped'. I was watching...I'm not blind.
Anyway, before we went to the Cinema, we went to Frankie and Bennies, and Katie was determined to sit next to Clare, which was just plain annoying. She refused to sit anywhere else but next to Clare, so everyone had to move round the table so she could have what she wanted. Then, as soon as Christopher said 'I want to sit next to Mum', Katie started some massive argument and decided that she wanted to sit next to Mum instead of Clare. Of course, people were looking at us because we were shouting and at that moment I wished that I was sitting anywhere but there. It wasn't so bad after that though. We played I-Spy. Mum got all of mine after about 15 minutes, and everyone had just given up when she got them. It was so unfair! Then the waitress came along, took one horrified look round the table and goes, 'are these kids all yours?' I wanted to laugh, but Mum sort of nodded and told her 'yes, all except Clare'. If it was possible, the waitress looked even more horrified. The look on her face was just priceless.
Charlotte's web wasn't that bad. Katie hurt herself half way through, on the really good bit and started screaming. Everyone looked round at us and if there was a hole I would have crawled into it. Everytime we told her she didn't need to cry, she just screamed louder and told us to shut up. It was me who had to suffer by having her sit on my lap the whole way through the movie. She just can't sit still! She moved around every five seconds and kept sitting in the way of the screen. I kind of lost track of the end of the film.
Then, when we got out, it was Christopher that decided to have a screaming fit and he kept running off. I think everyone thought I was kidnapping him when I dragged him back into the Cinema. If you've ever seen one of those shows where the children are really misbehaved and won't do as their told, then you've seen what Christopher is like. He had this tantrum all the way to the car and nearly got run over on the way there because he ran out in front of a car. What a prat.

On the upside, I have two Cinema trips planned this week. Go me. Epic Movie and Hot Fuzz both in the space of four days. Should be fun! I'm not really sure what either movie is about, but oh well. It'll give me something to look forward to.
I really should be doing my homework, but clearly, I'm not in the mood and I just can't be bothered to do it.

No ranting paragraph today. I've think I've ranted enough above about the day...
