Snow and ice

Wow, so we got snow Friday night and some ice on Saturday. A few inches of snow topped with ice so I couldn't grab any to throw at daddy. We tromped around a bit though and that was sort of fun.

Daddy's good friend from work is moving to Pennsylvania this coming week, so we tried to trek out Saturday evening to wish him bon voy-ag-gee and it was a trip.

Our neighbors up the street were sledding down the sheet of ice that is our street before we left and they took me for a quick ride on their sled - that was fun!

We made it up the hill and out of the Riverbend...slowly, but daddy got us out. The highway was a little better, but it was slow going.

I got to play with Mitch and Gabe again once we finally got to where we were going. I hadn't seen them in maybe a year and a half. They're a few months younger than me, but were taller than me, but that's okay because mommy brought trains for me to play with and I shared with them!

Later in the evening, mommy was looking at a tenor sax for Neal trying to fix it and she let me play it. That was fun, but I like playing brass better!

We made it home okay and Sunday the sun came out and melted the ice off the streets, so we got out to the grocery store and I got to sit in the driver's seat of the cart again - that's a lot of fun.

The week that was

Boy, what a week. On Monday Mommy finally went back to rehearsal with her Winthrop ensemble, so I got to see the Schillaci's again.

Then Tuesday, I hung out with the Connelly's and we tried to go see the circus animals parade through the town. It was chilly. And windy too. So we popped into a big building to wait, but the animals never came by. So we went home.

Wednesday, we went to go see the circus. That was fun. I really don't remember it from last year much, so it was neat to see all the animals again - the elephants, the tigers and even some doggies. The clowns were funny too. The double-barrel cannon was a little too loud though.

Speaking of loud, we stopped at Mert's Heart and Soul for dinner beforehand and while we were there the fire alarms went off. They were loud and we had to leave the building. But then they let us back in, but then the alarms went off again. But this time they let us stay in our seats.

But those alarms were loud, I didn't like it at all. I laid my head on daddy's arm and he covered my ears. I just didn't like all that noise, but finally they stopped.

Then today, Friday, it snowed again. I'm still not real sure what I think about it, other than it's cold, but everything's all covered in white outside.

Late January

This past weekend was a fun one in all sorts of ways. We went out again to 5 Guys for dinner on Saturday and we brought some of my trains with us too. After I connected them in a circle and played a while, I ended up eating all of my grilled cheese - a first!

Mommy and daddy didn't have anything to bring home for me - yay! Oh but let me tell you how we got to 5 Guys...

See, it's in the same place as Target and we went there first because mommy needed some prescriptions. After we checked out, instead of going back to daddy's car, he started walking with me to 5 Guys.

About halfway there, he let me walk all on my own. Of course, I held his hand the entire way and when we saw mommy drive by (in daddy's car no less...how goofy!) I started walking faster to go find her...still holding daddy's hand.

That was a bit of a workout, but we had fun.

On Sunday, daddy made a bunch of cookies and after he let me eat a couple, I got mommy to give me some more without daddy knowing...ain't it great to be a cutey-pie!


Check back later this week, I heard something about going to the circus.

2010, finally

Okay, new year, new posts...and I'm doing an awful job of keeping everyone current. Sorry 'bout that.

But great excuses, really. Really! I've been sick twice since December. Just before the holidays I got a cough that needed some medicine and then again right after New Year's day.

Just getting over that and I'm just about back to my normal bubbly self.

Oh and another excuse...too much fun playing with my trains!

I promise to try and do better with keeping the updates rolling - maybe mommy and daddy need to keep reminding me too.
