Computer fun

My mom does some pretty fun stuff on the computer and tonight she let me play around some (she did the work, I just told her what to do). Here's my creation...

 

It's me, Carolyn and my cousins celebrating our next birthdays together! 

My weekend with Skipper

Let me tell you about Skipper. Skipper is a very special puppy - he's our classroom puppy. Other students have taken him home for the night and had great adventures with him. I've been waiting for ages to have my turn. And finally, Thursday my named got picked! And when the teacher heard my mommy say "oh! It's Skipper! You've been waiting so long!" she decided that I could keep him through the weekend. Let me show you some of the fun stuff we've done while Skipper is with us.

Skipper came to swim class to watch me practice. Sorry, no dogs allowed in this pool.

Skipper had lunch with me. I think he liked my ham and cheese sandwich.

Friday afternoon we took Skipper to the library. I needed some new books and Skipper did a great job being quiet.

Skipper is awesome to nap with while we ran errands.

Can you believe my parents even let me take Skipper to a restaurant? He was very good and spent most of the time in mom's purse.

And Skipper really likes cats and toddlers. Here he is making friends with our cat Mary. Carolyn thinks Skipper is pretty cool too.

 

And the grand finale - we took Skipper bowling! STRIKE!

Tomorrow Skipper needs a bath before we take him back to school. And then it will be my turn to tell all of my classmates about my fun with Skipper. Then he goes on to visit the next lucky kid. I have really enjoyed my weekend with Skipper.

SNOW IN TAHOE!

Do I need to tell you how excited I was to head to Lake Tahoe for the weekend? I was so excited to go play in the snow. And quite often I'd get a little confused and call our destination Home Depot by accident. Don't ask where that comes from. I was clearly too excited to think clearly.

 

Nothing could keep me from playing in the snow and building a snow fort. Not even an evil stomach bug would stop me. It slowed me down sometimes, but it didn't stop me.

And the best part is that I had some very good friends along to play with. That made it the best weekend ever. Here I am with my buddies "chillin" in our snow fort.

Cool dude!

Of Bowling Alleys, Petting Zoos and Puppeteers

Remember my last post about that long to-do list? Well, the year has just gotten even more busy. Check out this recap of my weekend.

New Years day I got to go bowling with my dad. I did pretty great. My first frame I got a strike! 

 

Can you tell that I was having a good time? I even had the bowling shirt from Auntie Whit's wedding to wear. And my to-do list is tucked there in my shirt pocket.

The next day we went bowling AGAIN! This time we took my mom and sister along so that they could enjoy the fun.

I tend to bowl in slow motion. But when the ball finally makes it to the pins we celebrate with a high five.

Does that sound like enough fun for a weekend? Well get a load of this... today I went to a birthday party where there was a petting zoo!

My mom and I both decided that the baby chickens (about 1 week old) were our favorite animals of the bunch. There were four and they were all really cute. I even got one to perch on my arm.

Oh, and the little bunnies were our favorites too! They were so soft and cuddly.  I got to hold this little guy in my arms for a minute. It was really fun.

This was a serious petting zoo. There was a pot bellied pig, goats, sheep, ducks, full-sized chickens, a few turtles, a whole bunch of rabbits and even a young Alpaca! He was sooooo soft!

And as if that weren't enough. There was also a puppet show (not including any of the farm animals).

The puppet show was hilarious. And afterwards we got to go back and visit with the animals some more. Do I need to tell you that I fell asleep on the drive home? 

Off to a busy start

I hear that it is a brand new year so I asked my mom to help me write out a list of things I want to do today.

Here's my to do list:

- bowling with my dad
- make gingerbread men
- sign papers (important papers)
- help mom and dad clean up the house
- help my parents if they are in danger
- find treasures to put in my treasure box
- play with my leapster to get my time back
- help our dolls to go bed
- play soccer outside
- write some more mail for my shoe mailbox
- roll my trains down the track
- read books (not Jack and Annie books though, I read those with my dad)
- make important list for tomorrow
- play a lot of soccer
- go to the beach
- go to a restaurant

As you see I got through a few things on my list. And there are a couple of substitutions. Instead of playing soccer or going to the beach, I took my bike to the playground instead. Maybe I was a little too ambitious about my to-do list. My mom tried to tell me "Rome wasn't built in a day" whatever that means.
