Picture Perfect

Is it going to rain today?

These are two pictures of Orko I drew with my bare hands. Like them? I did it in my own style!

Pinkie Pie's Exciting Announcement

Wow! I'm glad you're here, I was just eating this bowlful of candy given to me by the people at H's kids' favourite sweet shop until you arrived. S has a new way of presenting her ideas to everyone - Guide To Fanfiction books. Twilight told me about this idea the moment she eavesdropped on this whole conversation on GChat. So, without further ado, I give you the first two titles! Drum roll, please...

DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....

Sweet Shop and Itch Bath! Woo! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

(Fluttershy applauds, saying quietly, "Yay.")

Now, these two are guides to life, love and fanfiction all according to S. Now, according to S, she won't mention the actual names of people in her life, instead calling them by the first initials of their names, like I'm doing now. And by the way, I had a go at eating some of S's milk bottles today, and they reminded me of that video Nutty showed you yesterday. Y'know, the one where he tries to eat a jawbreaker, but his jaw cracks and bleeds! Mwa-hahahahahahaha!!

"Excuse me, but were you pulling a Cupcakes reference?"

All this and more will be mentioned in Sweet Shop, Rainbow Dash, just you wait and see!

"Oh...okay then."

The Luckiest Kid In The World & Birthday Boy reviews

I recently bought The Luckiest Kid In The World and Birthday Boy on Kindle, and oh boy were they exciting reads!

The Luckiest Kid In The World focused on a 10 year old boy called Joe, who becomes named the most average kid in the world. From there, he gets handed all kinds of gifts, including chocolate, tech and toys, and he gets water parks and fast food restaurants all to himself. That may sound cool, but it is also a warning to why you should never trust those who advertise on TV. Because they may steal your money, and we don't want that to happen now, do we?

And as for Birthday Boy, it goes down a treat, just like milk and birthday cake. The story follows Sam, a boy who loves birthday parties and cakes with Adventure Time figurines on it. He loves everything about birthdays: presents, balloons, cake, jelly and party games - oh, and fancy dress! So when he makes a wish upon a star, his life changes and he celebrates his birthday every day. He even takes control of the school with his own mind-made lessons! My favourite part of the book is when the author lists down the best birthdays Sam has ever had, and tells them in full detail.

I've yet to check out The Parent Agency. It's about a boy who is fed up with his lame parents and makes a wish to trade them in for new and exciting ones. I wish my mum were exciting as CH or H...

• Snarf getting caught in a fisherman's net, and Orko and Optimus trying to save him.
• Furaha holding an injured Orko in her arms, crying for him.

Sweets & Art: Nutty's Guide To My New Fav Sweet Shop

Hi there! Hoo-hoo! Nutty here! I would like to tell you of a brand new sweet shop my ol' pal S just visited. Remember the time when I broke my jaw from trying to munch down on a jawbreaker?

Here it is! Oooooh, it's heaven! Lots of chewy sweets and chocolate candies everywhere you go, lots of Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol everywhere, and enough ice cream to freeze the jaw of my good friend Mr Chatterbox! S's support worker H takes her kids there when they're good or doing well at school, and they end up in Heaven once they're in there. So, S ordered a vanilla ice cream, some milk bottles (not actual pints of milk, because in true Happy Tree Friends style, when you bite down into one, your jaw bleeds and the milk turns red, with teeth falling out from your gums) and a waffle on a stick, with choccie smothered all over it!

'Nut' so fast, Nutty boy! I may or may not be one of the Care Bears M carries around these days. S and H had a very artistic journey while on their way to S's new favourite sweet shop. She spotted some goblins on the wall named Baggen, Grabbem, Smack and Poolto, she saw a dog with shades on the back of the van and wanted to paint all the houses not in the style of Balamory, but to tell entirely different stories: stories of my good friends Furaha and Orko. As for L and the other kids in H's house, she has swim practice after school every Tuesday afternoon, and she goes to an after school club sometimes. H, you know, the one who is deaf, loves music, jewellery and drawing. My friend M carries around my good friend Minnie Mouse and wears lots of cool Disney jumpers and hoodies (remember ones featuring Mickey and friends and Stitch?). I'm good friends with Minnie, and when M's back is turned, we come to life and I chat about what she's been up to today.

Now, through all of next week, S is going to-

Oi! What about me? I want to show everyone the time I tried to eat a jawbreaker!

Urgh, fine.

Worth my weight in a tooth, don't you think?

6 Ways To Experience Freedom With Your Baby

Recent restrictions and a year spent at home due to Covid-19 mean your baby has never got a chance to explore the outside world with you - and for you, never a chance to unleash your inner kid. Here are six ways to unleash your freedom with your baby now that Covid restrictions have eased:

1. Take a day off work. Who needs work when you're a stay at home mum?! Leave work to rot in dust and spend time playing with your baby all day, whether you're watching his first steps or taking a bath with him. Don't be such a helicopter parent! And by helicopter parent, it's a parent who doesn't spend time with his or her kids.
2. Swim in the lake without any clothes on. On your next camping trip, break all the rules and do a bit of natural swimming with your baby. Introduce your baby to your natural roots and where we all come from - not that you're introducing your child to evolution.
3. Spend a day at the beach. Let your child roam freely along the beach in search of shells, seaweed and other baby friendly natural seashore material. Help your child make sandcastles, splash in the sea and share a well-earned ice cream after a long day of play.
4. Don't sweat the small stuff. Leave the dishes piling, the housework half finished and take a moment to relax and have a well earned snooze with your baby. You earned it, it's your life, know what to do with it.
5. Go into the middle of nowhere. Taking your baby to a surprise place called 'Nowhere' makes it more interesting to see where you want to go, where you want to play with your baby. Leave all those work calls and emails and spend the day playing with your baby in a secret location. Who knows, it might be YOUR favourite place too.
6. Introduce your baby to older children. If you have an older child who's becoming a big sibling for the first time, invite some of his or her friends round to share in taking care of his or her baby brother or sister. Sometime, if you're in the park and your child can walk, allow your child to run off and play with the older kids, just for fun's sake!

Let's Play - This Water

Some Big News!

Last night, I agreed to go into the living room and sit in while the news was on WITH THE SOUND! My mum was so proud of me, and I agreed to go into the living room every single day - except for when the sport is on. You can't imagine her reaction when she hugged me and said I would put all my things into the poof and have my own shelf! My life has changed forever!

Small Urchins

“Aaaaaaaahhh…” sighed Furaha as she nestled into the tulip, “This is the life. Such a peaceful flower.” “I agree,” sighed Orko, “This is the most comfortable flower we’ve ever slept in ever.” “And its petals are all silky smooth too. Feel them!” Furaha and Orko felt the petal walls - oooh, they felt so smooth like suggested. And smooth as silk too. Furaha yawned and settled into the base of the flower, pollen covering her fur like honey covering a certain bear after he’s eaten his daily dose. Orko snuggled beside him, pollen covering his own red cloak, so it was yellow too. It was getting dark outside as the petals began to close on the flower, and Furaha and Orko began to grow tired. They fell asleep surrounded by silky walls in a bed of pollen as stars filled the sky and the moon cast its haunting light on the flower field.

Paw In Hand & Other Stories

Big announcement! I now like to think of to do list pads as lists for future story collections, and with my pink pad, I'm starting production on my first story collection in the 'Monday' column: Paw In Hand & Other Stories - it will continue on my new to do list pad when it comes on Thursday.

Now, Paw In Hand is the title for the latest idea I thought up. One of seven to be precise. It features Furaha snuggling next to Orko in bed and placing her paw in Orko's outstretched hand, to describe how different they are. The idea will feature philosophical thoughts exchanged from brother to sister, from the size of an adult's hands compared to a child's to what makes us all different from each other, passed down from human to animal to even Trollan. Yes, even Trollans seem special - including a certain disrespected young wizard.

Pinkie Pie's Amazing Celebrity Parties!

Hi! Pinkie Pie here! I've been planning parties and celebrating with my friends ever since Friendship Is Magic started airing on The Hub network in America. I've planned quiet parties with yoga and hot cocoa for Fluttershy, parties with a £100,000 fashion show for Rarity, a pizza party for Rainbow Dash and most importantly, these celebrity parties. What? You never thought I planned them? Well, think of these celebrities as who the party fairy - me, Pinkie Pie - visits! Eeeeeee!!!

What A Week!

Wow! What a week I experienced! I was treated like a Make A Wish kid one time, then I was treated like the world doesn't know me the next, then I had a surprise after that!

My week started off with a trip to the beauty salon. I met a lovely and gentle dog named Sawyer, who kept bringing toys and wanting to play, and when he slept, he went 'Woof-woof-woof' and dreamed of chasing cats. The beautician and I talked about things like He Man, Scream Street, K-Zone and Paddle Pops - all the things I've been thinking about earlier this week. In case you don't know what K-Zone is, it's a magazine for kids in Australia all about the latest in films, TV shows and competitions - whoever won that Paddle Pop contest is beyond my limits. Then my support worker took me out for my favourite ice cream - vanilla with chocolate sauce and a Flake in a tub.

On Wednesday, my support worker took me far out to the edge of Scotland to see some animuels! First, we stopped off for a meal at the River Bo- *RECORD SCRATCH* "NO, Sybil, last time you went there, you threw a massive fit!" - -thy where we had toast, eggs, bacon and sausages, a lovely moist chocolate cupcake and some cosy hot cocoa. There was a screaming kid wearing a dinosaur jumper - Dine-Saw. Grrrrrrrrrr!! - but I ignored it and went back into the car. We then set off, and got a drink before we made our way to the farm. We met lots of animals there, from a pig called Boris to two fighting baby goats named Bonnie and Clyde. The highlight of the visit was when we went into the sensory room. Oh boy, it was so beautiful. There were unicorns, dinosaurs and Toy Story clouds on the wall, and everything smelled of vanilla and mulled wine. I got to hold the cuddliest animals ever described in the history of the entire world - Nala and Jessica, the two guinea pigs, Caramel the rabbit, Bow Bow the giant rabbit and my favourite animal on the farm, Max. Max was the cuddliest, softest bunny ever known to man, and I instantly fell in love with him, thinking up a new idea: 'Max Asks Why', where a fictional version of Max lives with his mum, his big teenage brother Mojo and his little sister Matilda. The reptiles were slimy and sticky, but they were dry, so I met Jenny and Gene the two tortoises, Leo the gecko and Sid the snake. Lucky I didn't meet the yucky-as-poo tarantulas! Speaking of, I learned from the owners of the farm that tortoises pee to release toxins, like we humans do. All the time we were looking at the tortoises, Bow Bow kept hopping around the room sniffing everything and demanding a cuddle. When our trip was over, I looked all around to say goodbye to Max, but I couldn't find him anyway. I was so upset I had a bit of a cry over him all the way home, but at least he's something to remember about the farm for days to come.

However, things took a turn for the worst when I went out on Friday. ASDA was swarming with police cars and fire engines, because there was an accident, so we went to the Storehouse, where we had bacon, eggs, toast and sausages - I didn't have my eggs because they looked like big pieces of disgusting tasting ice cream. It got even worse when I was at home. An ad played before a video on Youtube, and I watched it with the sound. It was like a NUCLEAR BOMB went off in my head! Then Mum insisted on watching her video again because I kept talking over it. I had enough and I went into my room, where I began screaming and raging over my bad day, but with Mum's encouragement, I spent the evening on a positive note. Speaking on positive, the positive part of the day was going into the Dornoch Store and paying for an ice cream with my support worker's help. The ice cream was delicious though.

And that's not even the crazy part. Yesterday my male support worker was supposed to take me out to see the liners, but he filled up on the wrong petrol and it was such an emergency. Unlike my horrible Friday (tell that to Garfield, he hates Mondays), things looked up, and my fun German support worker came and picked me up. I cheered real loud when she came and took me home, but first we stopped off at the Co-Op where I got sausage rolls, cookies and water. Boy did they taste good...but all the excitement left me really tired, so I got to sleep.

And now, here I am, writing on my blog about all the crazy stuff I've been up to in the last couple of days. So remember, according to my strict support worker, it doesn't matter whether your days are bad or not, just think about this: they're all forgotten now.
