Highlights of the Day:

• I woke up at 9:00 this morning.  I slept great!
• We relaxed and watched a little television and ate my poptart while waiting for Mommy to come pick me up.
• Mommy picked me up close to noon and I told her I was upset that I missed church.  At least I got to wear my cute dress and new shoes (dressy Dora shoes that went great with my dress).
• Mommy and I stopped to eat lunch (where I made a rainbow with my french fries) then headed home for a nap.  We cuddled together (with Indy) and rested quite a while.  Mommy could have slept longer, but I was ready to get up and go.  I was also ready to try out my other new shoes...  my Frozen sneakers that flash blue lights.  I got lots of compliments on my shoes!
• After a little dinner and shopping, we got a scoop of ice cream, then headed home.
• Mommy let me hold a sparkler.  I was a little nervous about it, but still thought it was beautiful.  She had me wear a cup like a glove to protect my hand a bit.
• I spent a few minutes catching lightning bugs and hanging out on the porch before coming inside to relax before bed.

Highlights of the Day:

• Work up and got dressed in my patriotic clothes then walked downstairs saying, "Here comes American girl!"
• Packed my bag and went to Miss Sierra's for the day.
• Ate a hot dog and watermelon and rode my bike while Miss Sierra and Ms. Kelly walked.  I also played with bubbles and the ball.
• Mr. Calvin pulled me into the pool with him and I got splashed from the pool while I was standing outside of it.
• Watched fireworks and watched the others play with sparklers then got a bath and taught Miss Sierra my bedtime routine. 
• I told her that I missed Mommy and Daddy.

Highlights of the Day:

• Woke up and decided to let Mommy sleep in a little... even went downstairs to get a banana since I didn't want her to have to get up and fix me something and I was hungry.  I sat with her in bed, ate a banana, and played a game on the iPad while she rested bit longer.  I'm so nice to Mama.
• It's Friday, so of course we went for a blueberry cake donut... YUM!
• After a quick stop at a yard sale, we drove to Winchester to meet Mommy's friend Ed.  While waiting for him, we did a little shopping (I even got two new pairs of shoes) and got to ride a "roller coaster" ride.  I also played in the play area until he got there.  It was great to see him!  We went for lunch at TGIFriday's and then did a little more shopping with him.  He is so much fun and is very nice.  He even gave me a small seashell when he left. 
• Mommy and I stopped at McDonalds for dinner since today was the first day for Minions there.  I was so excited that the Minion talked! 
• After stopping at a friend's house for dessert and a walk, we headed home.  I was still wanting to move, so I rode my bike a few blocks while Mommy walked.  We even got to see people putting off fireworks!  I wanted to see more fireworks, so we got into the car and drove around until we found some.  We even had a nice police officer check on us since we were sitting in a parking lot in the dark. 
• After a snack of watermelon, it was bedtime.  I was so tired!  I can't wait to see Ms. Sierra tomorrow and to celebrate July 4th!

Highlights of the Day:

• Helped Mommy at her school for a little while.  I got to use some cool pencils, practiced writing some names, bounced a tennis ball that Ms. Marjy had in her office, and colored a Frozen picture while Mommy worked. 
• Mommy took me to the mall in Hagerstown.  We ate lunch and walked around a lot.  I got a new friend, a small panda bear named "Bamboo."
• We went to Chuck E Cheese since we had extra tokens and a coupon from our last trip there.  It was so much fun, even if some of the other kids weren't behaving so well.  I picked out small animals as my prizes for this time.  I have more tokens to go back again.
• We made a quick stop at a store where Mommy taught me how to limbo...  we had a pool noodle in the shopping cart and a special song starting playing in the store... she said it was the limbo song and she taught me what to do.  I had her limboing in the store too.  Others thought we were hilarious!
• After shopping, we headed back toward home.  We were driving the back way home and ended up stopping at the C&O Canal towpath.  It was so cool!  We saw lots of cool animals including lots of turtles in the water, a beaver running, some yellow finches, grackles, sapsuckers, a blue heron, and even a huge owl.  We watched him for a long time!  We got to stop and talk to people we knew and people we didn't know.  I even got to catch my first (and second and third) fish.  Some nice boys let me use their pole in an area that was very easy to catch.  It was so cool!  Mommy gave me a piggy back ride for a little bit of the way back since I got tired.  We walked a lot!  We even found a few blackberries that we washed really good before eating.  We were hoping to see a deer, but no such luck today! 
• After a late dinner, we came home and I had a bath and some watermelon before bed. 
• It was such a fun-filled day!

 

Can you spot the owl?

Highlights of the Day:

• Spent the morning hanging out at home with Mommy while Daddy ran errands.
• We shared waffles and watched a little television.
• While Mommy went to work for a little bit, Daddy and I did a little housework and played a little.
• I went with Mommy to her gym and my friend Aubrey was there again.  I was so happy!  I even wore my crazy superhero mask again.  I told Mommy, "I'm an action hero!"
• Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat dinner and play the trivia game.  Mommy and Daddy won again which means more free meals at b-dubs!  I played the claw machine and lost.  Boo!
• On the way home, we were looking into the sky and saw Venus, Jupiter, and the beautiful full moon.  I told Mommy and Daddy, "The moon came out to say hello to us."  They said I was sweet.
• We spent a few minutes out back in the dark and I was showing Mommy how great I am getting at hula-hooping.  She tried to video me, but it was a little too dark.  She promises to share a better video soon.
