Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Even though Mommy and I had picked out my clothes last night, I changed my mind by morning.  I didn't want to wear my jeans even though they were super cute.  Instead of jeans, I wore owl leggings which made my outfit overly pink. 

Today at school, we painted a fish in art class.  I told Mommy that maybe she would get to see it at the art show... Mommy isn't quite sure what I'm talking about. I left school with Maggie and her Daddy.  They took me to Mommy at her school where she was wrapping up a meeting.

"Duck lady" and I made tissue paper parachutes for some of her ducks then tested them.  It was amazing and fun!

We ate a yummy dinner then headed to church. I'm not sure why we went all the way over there when it ended up being just the three of us.  We  could have just had bible study at home.  At least I had technology... I enjoyed typing and making shapes on Word. I even figured out how to change colors and sizes of the shapes all on my own. 

I brushed my teeth three times today thanks to Mommy's new reward system.  This girl sure loves her quarters!  And she is so sweet that when she is rewarded with a quarter, she gives us coins back... at least a few pennies.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Woke up, got dressed, then Daddy put me in bed with Mommy to cuddle for a few minutes. I got so comfy that I didn't want to get back up.

Had a good day at school... I brought more cans for the food drive, loved music class, and got an invitation to a Christmas party from a friend in my class. 

I was a nightmare afterschool... whiny, whiny, whiny!  Mommy's not sure what was up.

On the way home, I decided to do my homework in the car instead of waiting until I got home.  I had to come up with words that end in -it.  Mommy was impressed how quickly I came up with answers and that I came up with spit all by myself and could spell it too!

After dinner at home, we rested and played Crazy 8s.  At bedtime, I had Mommy start a new tradition with me... after our typical nightly hug, kiss, and ugga mugga, we added a pinky shake and hand slaps. It was fun!

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Exhausted this morning, but I had to go to school.  I had decided that I needed a day with just Mommy and that I wasn't going to school and she wasn't going to work so we could stay home together.  Mommy ruined my plans which made me cranky!  I did manage to leave Mommy a note in the car for her to find after dropping me off at the babysitter.

Ended up having a great day at school.  We shared about our Thanksgiving meals and I ended the day on blue. 

After school, I played with "Duck Lady" in her classroom. We made paper airplanes again and mine flew awesome!  I even made obstacles courses in her room for the planes to fly around. She is so nice letting me play with her.

I had requests for pompom garlands from my friends  (since I took mine today), so after Mommy and I got home for the evening, I had her help me make a few.  I accidentally dumped out all of the pompoms and was quite cranky about it but by bedtime, I was my loveable self, having Mommy give hug, kiss, and ugga mugga to my animals while tucking me in.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Woke up ready for Mommy to get up.  I had just heard Daddy leave to go to church early and thought Mommy should go ahead and get up.  Mommy fixed me breakfast then we said goodbye to Grandma so she could start her long drive home.  We got dressed and headed to church.

After church, we ate lunch then headed home for a little rest. Mommy was exhausted from her trip and needed a nap, but first I had her help me with making a few paper snowflakes that I added glitter to.

After Mommy woke (with help) from her nap, she and I went to Michaels.  I made a friend in the aisles and we played dress up, having deer antlers, and elf feet, as well as dressing like a pirate and having a sword fight.  I was sad to see him leave with his parent.  Mommy and I got lots of pompoms to make our own garland.  I decided to hang my first completed section from the quilt rack in my room. I completed my homework and drew a picture of my Thanksgiving meal on a plate.  Mommy added an explanation that she was out of town and that Daddy had taken me to Golden Corral since my plate included pizza and pasta in addition to the typical turkey and stuffing. 

Back to school tomorrow!  I can't wait to see my friends!

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Had a mostly restful day.  Daddy and I played hide and go seek with my stuffed animals.  It was great... but I couldn't remember where I hid "Slush," my husky dog. 

I spent a little while preparing for a fiesta for Mommy and Grandma and couldn't wait until they got home from their NYC trip to play with me.  When they got to the house, I ran to greet them, helped them carry their things inside the house, and then explained to them about the fiesta I had prepared for them.  I gave each of them four pencils to be their "tickets" and told them that I had a spin the wheel game, an "art class," and snack available (already prepared in bowls on the kitchen table). 

Before bed, Daddy and I got to see Mommy's pictures from the trip.  It looked like they had lots of fun!  Mommy tucked me in to bed after helping me use my bucket elevator to lift my stuffed animals onto the loft bed.

Most Memorable Events of the Day
-Woke daddy up early. He wasn't ready to get up so I went back to bed.
-We went to Waffle House for breakfast and then stopped at the Beehive. I made a My Little Pony craft and played with the other kids. We kept putting obstacles on the golf mat and tried to make a hole in one.
-We did some yard work in the afternoon. I helped daddy rake leaves and then played with my neighbor.
-We ate dinner at Noodles & Company, then daddy surprised me by taking me to the ice rink. I had a lot of fun going around the rink. I held on to the wall a couple of times, but I also used a skate walker. I got really good at standing and gliding.

Most Memorable Events of the Day
-Slept in daddy's bed last night. I don't think he got much sleep.
-Watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I had to watch the Mountaineer Marching Band.
-We spent a few hours at the church. Daddy worked on the floors a little more. They look better but I was impatient.
-We ate Thanksgiving lunch at Golden Corral. I had marshmallows and rice Krispy treats dipped in the chocolate fountain for dessert.
-We went shopping after lunch. Daddy bought me a drone. Then, we went to the movies and watched Moana.
(p.s. Daddy gets so frustrated trying to add photos to the blog!)

Exciting events of the day

• Slept in a little since I didn't have school.
• Said goodbye to mom and grandma this morning when they left for New York. Then daddy and I played "apartment." I kept lowering and raising animals from my bed in a bucket.
• Daddy and I ate at Panda Express and then did some shopping. Afterwards, I played Mario while daddy took a nap.
• This evening, we went to church so daddy could clean the floor. I watched Netflix and played with my animals while daddy worked.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Last day of school before Thanksgiving break!  School was great!  I had music class and ended my day on green. 

Came home and waited not so patiently until Grandma arrived.  I had to run out on the porch to greet her and give her a hug.  I've missed her. I wish Grandpa and Lucy were here too.

We went to a new restaurant.  The mac and cheese was good, but the caramel dessert was so amazing that my eyes rolled back in my head! 

I played Uno with Grandma and Chutes & Ladders with Mommy before heading to bed.

Mommy and Grandma leave tomorrow for New York City.  I wish I was going and know I'll miss Mommy but look forward to a few days with Daddy.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Woke up, got dressed and ready for school.  I really brushed my hair... even let Mommy have a turn too without fight.

Ended the day on purple.  Had my school friends help me color my new stocking, danced to the "Trolls song" in gym class, made a turkey out of a pinecone (it's winking since it lost an eye), and drew a picture and wrote a story about my new stuffed animal Patches.  I read the story to Mommy since she struggled to read it for some reason though she was very proud of my effort in sounding out the words.  "Once upon a time there was a turkey and a cheetah who were ____ and ____."  (I had my friends help me fill in the blanks).

After school, I made paper airplanes, decorated them, and them raced them with "duck lady."  She sure is nice letting me play with her some afternoons.

At home, after dinner, Mommy helped me paint my nails, we played card games, and stuffed animal school, and I even helped with chores  (vacuuming, helping with dishes, and cleaning the bathroom sink).  Mommy was very proud of me.

I can't wait to see Grandma tomorrow... even if she is coming to take Mommy.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Woke up at Ms. Kelly's house and go dressed and ready for church.

I made a turkey out of the outline of my hand... I was so proud of myself.  I also showed Mommy how I could piece together a cut apart Bible verse.

After the church service, we ate Thanksgiving dinner with everyone at the church.  I even invited myself to sit with another family with lots of girls.  As Mommy was helping me in the car, I reminded her that I really wanted a sister.

Mommy and I did a little shopping and almost blew away (it was very windy!).  I got two new stuffed animals and got my haircut.  Mommy was tired of fighting with me to try to make it look nice and hopes this will be easier.  It sure does feel better and looks cute. I don't know if people at school will recognize me.  I entertained myself (and others) listening to the musical cards and dancing to the music while at Target.  I even stopped to get my free fruit on the way out of the building.  I even offered to share it with Mommy since she was too old to get her own.

We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening cuddling on the couch watching Shark Tale and Cinderella.  Mommy and I also played school with my stuffed animals.  I called Mommy "Assistant" and took attendance, let them have playtime and we all had a picnic lunch on the landing of the stairs.

Only two school days this week before a little break.  It should be lots of fun!

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Woke up early but Daddy did too so it was okay.  Daddy and I played thw Spot It card game while Mommy slept a bit longer.

I cleaned my room and then Mommy woke up.  I payed with a Barbie veterinary set and then made a fort with Daddy's help.  Mommy and I played crazy 8s and a
Spot it.  I used rope, yarn, and Legos to make my own Ninja Warrior course.    I also shot a nerf gun during my practice.

Spent the evening and night with the Puffinburger family while Mommy and Daddy had a date night.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Woke up with wild and crazy hair from going to bed with it damp... there was no taming it!

Had a great day at school!  We made a turkey with really long legs and we had computer class where we played games and watched The Magic School Bus.  I ended the day on purple and even got a prize (blue stuffed hippo) with my tickets.

As soon as I got in the car when Mommy picked me up, I was quickly rude to her and she was not happy.  We had a long talk about how she is so proud when I am well behaved at school, but how I also need to be nice at home.  Mommy stopped and got a drink on the way home, but I wasn't allowed to get one.

At home, I glued several pages of used paper (different colors) together to make what I called a quilt of their memories  (my stuffed animal student work).

After my favorite dinner (pasta with white sauce), I watched a few episodes of tv, played Uno and another game with Mommy and then cuddles on the couch (Cameron had to join me).

At bedtime, I used my dress tie string supporting a small bucket to carry my stuffed animals upstairs... I even figured out how to spin them to make a "merry go round."

November 17, 2016

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

I was a hot mess this morning... cranky, whiny, and tired.  Mommy wasn't too happy with me... she decided that she let me stay up too long last night. 

Enjoyed library time today and got a new library book, The Slurpy Burpy Bear.  I ended the day on green even though I wasn't feeling the best... still getting better and tired.  I had math homework to do since I struggled a little with patience and focus earlier in the day.  At home, I finished the work quickly and easily.

Spent a little while at church for a meeting... there were no other kids there, so I had to entertain myself (and the adults too)!

Was more patient than normal, letting Mommy comb my hair carefully after the shower.  She is tired of fighting with me about my hair and is very close to getting it cut... at least a little. 

So happy tomorrow is Friday!  I can't wait!

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Mommy let me sleep in an extra hour this morning which was wonderful since I had interrupted sleep with my coughing and breathing treatments.  Luckily this morning I was feeling much better with minimal coughing so off to school I went.  I got there just in time and Mommy had to run off for a meeting.

I had a great day at school... we had a police officer talk to us, we sang and danced to the hokey pokey turkey, and made rainbow portrait pictures in art class for Mommy and Daddy.  Mommy was just happy that I made it through the day at school.

I "helped" Mommy get some work done in her office after school... I made crowns and bracelets to take to the girls at church.

Tori and her friend and I played while Mommy and Daddy had Bible study.  We had fun and were typical silly girls, singing and dancing.

When Mommy and I got home, we played a spot it game and then had one of my "contests" where Mommy and I both drew pictures of things that start with a certain letter then I get to judge which is best.  Mommy won and I decorated her paper with the word "Wow" as well as a star and heart.

Mommy and I cuddled in bed until Daddy got home from his meeting.

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

A little coughy this morning, so I had a breathing treatment before heading to the sitter. 

I had a great day at school until recess, then started coughing and feeling worse, so Mommy picked me up early to bring me home.  I was upset to have to miss music class.  I never had a fever but just wasn't quite myself.  Mommy says I'm like her and have "sick eyes" (the color washes.out of my eyes).

Another couple of breathing treatments later, I was feeling well enough to play Uno with Mommy and I Spy with Mommy and Daddy.  I also typed a note for Mommy (with some spelling assistance).

Hopefully we will get some rest tonight and feel well enough for school tomorrow.  Weather changes have always been my downfall with my breathing issues...  hopefully this passes quickly.

November 14, 2016

Most Memorable Events of the Day:

Monday mornings are rough!  At least I got to wear my new boots!

I taught Uno to my friends at one of the centers today... I even brought Twizzlers for the winners.  I ended the day on purple and had a great day... even got a new PB&J Smencil.  

At Mommy's school, I helped her and Carol set up for tomorrow's meeting then colored a few notes for Carol's door.

Other than a quick stop at Walmart, we spent the evening at home.  I ate lots of chicken with dinner and Mommy and I played Uno and school again. 

I coughed quite a bit this evening, so hopefully a breathing treatment and a good night's sleep will help.
