Alyson's Antics for the Day:

I said:

• "Spell!  Spell!  Spell!  I'm a magic lizard!"  (while shaking my red Crayola toothbrush...  I did the same a couple minutes later shaking Mommy's hairbrush)
• What do the black cows do?" (Daddy responded by telling me they eat grass, walk around, and sometimes give milk).  I said, "The black ones give chocolate milk!"
• "Where is my hamster basket?"  (It took Mommy a few minutes to realize I was talking about my hamper for my dirty clothes.

I did:

• Daddy bought us Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast.  They were so yummy but I made a big mess on Grandma's couch.
• After packing up all of my things, we loaded the car and headed back home.  It was sad to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa, but I was excited to get home to Gemma and Cameron. 
• I fell asleep about 10 miles from Charleston and slept quite a while.  
• I enjoyed looking out the window as we drove the back way home.  I liked seeing all the animals (sheep, goats, cows, deer, etc.), the river, the trees, and even big rocks.
• When we pulled in front of the house, I was so excited to see even more flowers that had bloomed in front of our house.  They are so pretty!
• I built a big block tower with Daddy but it eventually fell over.
• At bedtime, I colored a beautiful picture for Daddy and left it on his pillow for him to find when he goes to bed.
• Indy must have been glad to be home too.  He was already snoozing under my bed before I got in it.  He is my nighttime protector.  He's so good to me.
• I had Mommy leave the room and come right back in after the lights were off and I was in bed.  She came back in and asked what I was doing.  I told her I was praying.  I explained to Mommy that you close your eyes and put your hands together and talk to Lord.  Mommy helped me finish my prayer and then it was time for sleep.  I'm looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow.

Alyson's Antics for the Day:


I said:

• "I love you too baby cakes." (in response to Mommy telling me, "I love you pumpkin.")

I did:

• I ate Frosted Flakes with Daddy for breakfast.
• I couldn't believe it was snowing outside after getting hot running around in short sleeves the past couple of days!
• Mommy, Grandma, and I met Alice for lunch at Panera today.  It was delicious!
• We went to visit some people that Grandma used to work with.  Mr. Rick gave me a cool new shark and Ms. Mary gave me a pretty yellow flower.  She hooked the flower to the shark and said it was a girl shark.  After much thought, I named the shark Silly Sally like one of my favorite books.  I said, "Silly Sally went to town, swimming backward upside down." 
• I ate spaghetti and soup for dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for trivia.  It was strange being at a different B-Dubs, but they still had games for me to play after delivering all of our team's answers to the person in charge of the game.

Alyson's Antics for the Day:


I said:

• "I had a lovely bath, Grandma."
• "Two monkey suitcases coming right up!" (referring to kids suitcases with monkeys on them at Kohl's).  "Two giraffe suitcases coming right up!" (being silly... there were no giraffe suitcases).
• "Lucy looks like a sheep and Gracie looks like a cow." 
• I used several words today that surprised Mommy... I said, "lovely," "familiar," and "actually."

I did:

• Played outside with my scooter and flowers.
• After a nap, I set the table for lunch all by myself.  I put my new friend, Daniel Tiger at the table too.  
• After lunch, Grandma, Mommy, and I went to Chuck-E-Cheese.  It was so much fun!  With my tickets, I got a colorful slinky and a purple whistle.  My favorite game was the piggy game where you had to hit the bar to get the ping pong balls in the pig's mouth. 
• After Chuck-E-Cheese, we stopped at Kohl's and looked to buy me some new socks.  While Mommy and Grandma were looking at the socks, I reorganized the packages of panties on the other side of the rack.  There were several packs on the floor or in the wrong place, so I fixed it and made it nice and neat.  Mommy said she hoped they would pay me in socks.
• Grandma bought me some sidewalk chalk so I drew on the sidewalk and asked Mommy to draw me a hopscotch.
• Mommy and I went around the block, Mommy walked and I rode my scooter.  I stopped at nearly every other house to pick dandelions then brought them back to Grandma's to line them up on the steps like I did yesterday.
• I played in the puppies toy bin for quite a while.  I decided to get all of the bandanas out of the bin and fold them as neat as I could. 
• At bedtime, Mommy and I read Cows to the Rescue.  It is so funny!

Alyson's Antics for the Day:

I said:

• "I'm going to go sit with the girls."
• "I'm going to go sit with the boys."
• "I don't want to leave." (referring to the bonfire).
• "I'm too tired to..." (fill in the blank at the end with "wash my hands," "get off the stool in the bathroom, "hug grandma," and so on).

I did:

• Rode scooter and played with Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy went to Tommy's church this morning.
• Took a nap and woke up to find Mommy, Daddy, Tommy, and Samantha at the house.  It was great to have an audience to entertain with my Wizard of Oz songs and dances.
• Mommy and Daddy took me to a bonfire with Tommy's church.  It was so much fun!  There was a trampoline, lots of bouncy balls, doll babies, hula hoops, sidewalk chalk, and lots of kids to play with.  It was so much fun!  We sang songs, clapped our hands, and I spent time with the big kids during the campfire.  I didn't want to leave.
• When we got home, I was way too tired to get ready for bed.  Luckily Mommy helped me out.
