Sleeping Away From Home

There's something quite spectacular and magical, you know.

'Bout sleeping in a bed that just isn't quite your own.

The thrill of laying down your head on a foreign pillow.

Especially tonight, as I lie in my cousin's home.

"Why?" You ask as through the door appears some little toes.

'Cause I'm off to make a midnight snack with Marcus and Margo!

Bye.

Meeting Margo (and Marcus!)

Hey-ho people! I woke up this morning and looked around, Thea was gone!

I got up and looked around, there was no trace of her! Wherever she had gone, she had left me some clean clothes before she went (Thank goodness she's organised!) so I put them on.

I headed into the hall to see if I could find Thea, but as I did, I caught a glimpse of Juno in the doorway to another room.

Through the open door I saw the same girl as before, this time I had longer to look. I was sure it was Margo!

I walked in to say hello, but the moment she saw me she jumped up and moved herself as far away from me as she could, her eyes staring intensely at my face.

"Uhh, hello Margo." I said, a little startled "Remember me?" She didn't react at first but all of a sudden she strode over to me and hugged me tightly. "Heddy." She said purposefully.

Before I even got a chance to hug her back, she moved away and sat on her bed.

It felt a little awkward. Not knowing what to say, I motioned to her toys on the shelf. "These are very cool." I said attempting to start another conversation. "Mine." She said defensively.

"What about that monkey?" I asked "Is that yours too?" Her face softened, "Marcus." she said with a faint smile. I was relieved, I thought she didn't like me!

Margo slid off of her bed and onto the floor, pulling a box out of her shelving unit and opening it. There were lots of little animal figures inside. "Play?" she said, almost looking afraid of my answer.

"Of course!" I said grinning, happy that she didn't hate me after all.

Within minutes we were playing together, Margo was much more open and expressive when she was playing.

After some time had passed, Thea walked in, "I see you're met my moody little Margo!" she teased. Margo pulled a face and stuck out her tongue whilst Thea laughed.

I know I'm definitely going to love it here! Byeee!

My Cousin's House

Hello! After a rather long car ride filled with endless talking from Thea and lots of catching up, I've finally arrived here at my cousin's house. Once inside I followed Thea up to her room.

"Ta Daaa!" She said "Do you like my room?" I smiled to myself, it was obvious that Thea had matched her dress to her bedding, that was so her. 

"It's so pretty" I replied. 

Thea went on to talk about the colour scheme, but I didn't quite hear her as all of a sudden a golden furball appeared in the doorway...

...and bounded towards me, knocking me backwards onto Thea's bed!

"Juno!" Thea sternly shouted "Bad boy! You know you're not allowed on my bed!"

Once Juno had jumped down, I sat myself on the floor and gave him a hug, I hadn't seen him since he was practically newborn.

"I'll go and get your bedding." Said Thea walking out of the room purposefully. I looked around, she had some pretty things on a bookshelf next to her bed...

...as well as a fully packed timetable up on the wall...

...and some Polaroids hanging from a string above her bed.

Out of nowhere, Juno turned and bolted out of the room, pushing the door to the room across the hall to leave it slightly ajar. Through the gap I saw a small girl with dark blonde hair.

Before I could get a closer look, Thea walked in with arms full of pillows and blankets.

I helped her with the stuff and in return she helped me lay it all out so it was ready to sleep on.

I can't wait to spend some time with my cousins! Watch this space!

Whisked Away!

Hello all! I was at my desk today, working on typing up some posts, when I heard people downstairs.

I wasn't too fussed about it until I heard footsteps on the landing, I pushed my chair out and turned around just in time to see my bedroom door swing open...

...and for Thea to walk in!

I leaped up and practically flew towards her, pulling her into a hug. "Thea!" I exclaimed "What on Earth-"

"I'm here to whisk you away!" She said, throwing her arm in the air and doing jazz hands.

Once we'd chatted for a bit, Thea had taken charge of the situation and was helping me pack.

"If  you're staying with us, you can just borrow some of our clothes, mine should fit. You can bring your pyjamas though..."

"... and some clean underwear of your own" said Thea, packing everything neatly into my little case.

It was only when she was actually closing the lid that I was able to get a word in..

..."Hold on, hold on. Can't I bring some toys with me?" I asked, motioning to my Iwako figures.

"Fine." She said, sighing through a smile and disappearing from the room. I quickly grabbed my trio of hamsters and packed them safely inside my case.

Before I knew it, Thea was back "Dad says we have to get going now, you ready?"

"Almost!" I said, turning and grabbing my stuffed owl for company in the car.

With my suitcase in hand and my owl under my arm, I grabbed my shoes and hurried downstairs and out to the car. Off to my cousin's house I go!

See you then! I'll still be able to blog because my aunt has a computer in her office. Bye!
