Jam-Packed Weekend
Thursday, September 24, 2009
I do love the weekends! I call them "Stay Home Days" because of the whole no school thing. But from the looks of all the activities we have been up to, it's a misnomer.
We had a picnic in the Rose Garden. It was a blast and I found all the "non-pokey" plants for Mom and Dad.
On this day I learned the skill that I expect will carry me through life and beyond: how to milk a card-board cow.
Wade learned the skill too. See him in the plaid pants on the other side of this see-through cow?
There he is, and he's not even gritting his teeth.
Dad taught me the skill he said would take me through my teen-age years under his roof: mowing the lawn. Um, guys, when do I get to try the self-propelled push mower? It sure would speed up this process.
The best part of the new house is the new set of friends in the 'hood! They have adopted me as their own and I love them all!
I may be little, but I bring a lot to the table. The sand table, that is.
The neighborhood kids even pull me around in a wagon. Dad gets me to cut the grass, someone else to pull me in the wagon. What's left for him to do? "Supervise" and sip on a gooey blender drink?
Whee! Into the driveway.
An Awesome Family Saturday

LOTS OF NEW POSTS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMA!
Welcome back to me! We have been extremely busy (you'll see why in following posts). Without further ado...
We had incredible weather on Saturday! It was the perfect day for a trip to the park and lunch at the old train depot. Lovely!
I am adorable in the above photo. Too bad mom looks a little creepy! 
We rode the carousel at least 4 times! Only once did I choose the ostrich. The rest of the time I demanded we sit on the bench seats. Sounds tame huh? Actually, there is greater centrifugal force because they are on the outside of the circle! Stick with me, I know what I am doing. 
In no time, I was off to the play ground. I like to fly my "jet." 
The boats never get old! Ding, ding! 
Another attempt at a family portrait on the train ride. Mom and Dad, sorry but no deal!
We finished up the day with lunch at the Seaboard Cafe (old train depot). Yum and grand! (So much so, we forgot to take any photos. Oh well, revisit the old posts from prior visits.) I got to choose a plant for my room at Logan's. I viewed all of the lovely foliage but decided that I would not be shallow and swayed by other plants' beauty. Rather, I got the ugliest plant in the place. See the photo below! 
OK and finally, Mom insists that I share one of my latest favorite sayings:
Uncle Dan came for dinner last week. We had a great cook out and a fun evening. Mid-way through dinner, I decided that I was finished with dinner, removed myself from the table and headed inside from the deck. Uncle Dan must have been giving me some 'tude 'cause on my way in, I turned to Uncle Dan and told him emphatically, "Uncle Dan, I am the boss and you are the fluff!"
I like to leave them a little miffed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMA! I love you!
Say Cheese!
My apologies for the delays! It has been a crazy month or so. We moved into a new house, Oma and Ocha visited and I started back to school. Posting on the blog was really put on the back burner!
Oma and Ocha visited for 10 days and had a working vacation. Ocha totally renovated the basement bathroom, weather-proofed the deck and fixed everything that needed fixing! And I was his little apprentice (more about that in the following post). Oma helped Mom shop and clean. Yay to having such an extended trip and I hope there are many more trips in the future!
Oma and Ocha took a break from all the hard work and took me out on a date night so that Mom and Dad could have a date night of their own. We went to Chuck E. Cheese! (aren't Oma and Ocha brave?)
There was a giant rocking Trojan horse!
I made a new friend in Chuck! He drives a car almost as cool as Stuart Little!
Gotta say, Scoop was a bit of a let down (at least that is what my face is saying in this photo)! I told Bob I could handle driving it all by myself, but he insisted on riding along. Control freak!
New House
Oma and Ocha journeyed all the way from Florida...with my buddy garbage truck! I am a really happy boy!
There is a lot of space in the new house and room for visitors (hint, hint). The plan is to add a fifth bedroom in the basement as a permanent guest suite (aka Oma and Opa suite). So the bathroom had to be up to tip-top shape. I assisted "Jeff" in the demo (see below). 
My firetruck found its way to the new basement. This room is the last on the list, but soon it will be the official "Man Cave" for Daddy and I. 
I'm a big fan of the breakfast bar in the kitchen. In fact, we have foregone the dining room table for most meals (much to Daddy's chagrin). 
We have a huge back deck set in the woods! Awesome! Jeff and I are having a very serious conversation here. 
We lived without furniture for a few weeks. Thank goodness I had my own furniture. (Thanks Oma!) 
OK, yay! We finally got some furniture. Now we plan on having everyone over for a visit soon and you will actually have something to sit on! Sorry about all the standing and sitting on floors Oma and Opa. You're next trip will be furnished, I promise!
And last but not least, here are 2 photos of the finished bathroom! Isn't it GORG? Thanks Opa!!!!!
Good Ole Time
Oma and Ocha couldn't visit without a trip for some real deal 'cue! 
I hear the stuff is tasty. Me? I don't touch the stuff - still holding strong as a little vegetarian.
This place is across from some train tracks and Oma and I were taking in a little pass-by. Cool!
Next, I had to call Big Bird and the Count and let them know that I would be back on my way to Sesame Street soon (yes, these are actually the things I was discussing on the phone). 
Another satisfied customer!
