Sainsbury's Super Saturday and London Paralympic Games

Sainsbury's (that's the supermarket where we buy our food!) decided to throw a BIG party on Clapham Common in London this past weekend called Super Saturday and we were invited.

What was the party for? It was family friendly event to celebrate one year to go until the Paralympic Games come to London in 2012 and to get everyone excited about it. And let me just say, it really was SUPER and one of a kind!

Now I admit, I gave mami and papi a hard time. I don't know, I just wasn't feeling like my usual self.

I didn't want to walk, I didn't want to sit in the buggy, I didn't want to eat, I didn't want to play football or do crafts. I just wanted to be left alone and run away. And so I did. I ran clear across the Common and papi had to take off after me.

From there on I could see mami getting a bit worried but she really really did not want to leave. Sainsbury's had given us VIP tickets and there was free food and drinks all day.

And not just that, but mami wanted to stay to see The Saturdays, The Wanted, Olly Murs, Sugababes, Chipmunk and Taio Cruz sing on the big stage. Usually I am all about dancing and partying, but not that day.

So papi and I left. He told mami, "you stay, have a good time with your friends and enjoy the music". And guess what?! SHE STAYED!

The day was full of inspirational stories from athletes and they even played a game of basketball in wheelchairs. I had never seen that before, but I hear the UK has a great team!

Mami got to hang out with Sandy from Baby Baby, Uju from Babes About Town and saw Liz from Me and My Shadow, Sabine from Mummy Matters and another Maria from Mixed Up Mummy.

But at the end of the day everyone was there to celebrate the Paraylmpic Games. You can see all the events here and read about all of the athletes. We didn't know much about it, but we sure do now!

And yes, mami got home late but SUPER happy. She said she danced so much her feet hurt. Ouch!

Oh and because I didn't want to craft, mami made me a special medal - just like the kind the athletes get!

Vrooom! Adidas and Disney Cars 2 trainers

Vrooom, vrooom! Check out these Disney Cars 2 trainers that Adidas sent me.


Papi says I look very grown up when I wear them, so I like them even more. 

Anyway, back to my story.

I was supposed to be at the official Adidas and Disney Pixar event to launch their new kidswear range just in time for the release of Cars 2.

However, we were not able to make it that day. I think it had something to do with tube closures and rail replacement.

But I still wanted to tell you all about it!

They have all sorts of styles with new characters from the movie like Finn McMissile, a British secret agent,  Italian Francesco Bernoulli who is Lightning McQueen’s top rival, and Shu Todoroki, a race car favourite from Tokyo, Japan.

And if that wasn't cool enough, Adidas have even more exciting news. This autumn and winter they have another special range of trainers coming out that feature the Olympic mascot, Wenlock. 


As you know the Olympics will be here in London next summer and it makes sense to have something special to wear for the occasion!


There are two different styles, Mascot Rainbow which is for kids 3-6 (good thing because I turn 3 in January!) and Mascot Champion is for kids 8-12 years old. Both ranges will also have t-shirts, track bottoms with Wenlock on them and the 2012 London Olympics logo. Of course!


In the meantime I'm racing around in my new zapatillas. That's trainers in Spanish. 


And speaking of Olympics, Papi is still trying to get tickets. Do you think he will? I hear it's not easy.
