Alight at Night

This week has held more Christmas fun! The big day is less then two weeks away now. I'm getting excited!! But our snow is all gone...can you believe it?! There's green grass everywhere and I haven't even had to wear my snowpants this week. Crazy!

Sunday night we spent relaxing and playing. Mommy had to get me out of my slump of being blah and lazy so she put on some music and I started dancing and hopping and going nuts! Tony came over to play and have dinner with us. And guess what mommy cooked...purple potatoes! They were even purple inside. Weird eh?

Yesterday was back to school. I brought Ms Dudar the book we had bought for the class at the book fair. Maybe she will read it today. We got to go to the library and we had reading buddies come into the class. My reading buddy read a book about a big girl kangaroo who was sad that she didn't fit into her mommies pouch anymore so she ran away. But it had a happy ending. Then I got to take Vicky's bus home. That was fun!

I got my school pictures yesterday too so when I got home we got all the Christmas cards ready to mail. Boy there was a lot of them. I got sick and tired of writing my name after only one. And we read my library book...it's about a puppy and a pathwork quilt. It's good! Oh and I got a surprise in the mail. Uncle Jerry sent me a Christmas present so I got to open it and it's what I've wanted for awhile. It's a helicopter on a control pad with levers to control it. It flies around super fast backward or forward...so cool! Thanks! Oh and I finally wrote my letter to Santa. I told him he'd have to leave a treasure hunt for the gifts at mommy's house since under our tree is already full. I told him I'd leave him Christmas milk and cookies and that I would like him to bring me a remote control dump truck, a remote control monster truck that can crush cars and a track for my thomas trains. Hopefully it doesn't take long to get to the North Pole!

Then last night we met Tony and his mom, Julia, and went for a bit adventure out to Upper Canada Village for their Alight at Night festivities. It was so cool!! I went last year with daddy but mommy and Tony and Julia had never gone before. All the lights on the houses made everything look like chalk drawings and since we went on a Monday we had the entire place practically to ourselves!! We got our very private horse drawn wagon ride and I got to drive the horses. I got to pet them a lot first and learn all about them and then I climbed up and controlled the reins for our entire ride. So cool! I did a good job! After our ride we figured out where we wanted to walk back to so we walked around the village and checked out the bakery and then went and had a big turkey dinner at the barn. Yummy!! I just wanted turkey and bun. It was so warm I didn't even need to wear my snowpants. Then we had our own private train ride. The train sure was flying along. My favorite part was the tunnel. Then we bought some fresh bread from the bakery (it was still warm...yum) and I got to pick out two treasure rocks to bring home. They're so pretty. It was a great night at the village and I can't wait to go back!

This morning I was a little grumpy since it was such a late night. I wanted mommy to come to school to volunteer and didn't want to go to school without her but mommy said she had other things to do and would come another day. Bummer. But today I wore my Peru t-shirt that Auntie Jodie and Uncle Paul sent me from their trip and I brought my shark tooth and bamboo music maker to school so hopefully I'll be able to show and tell them to my class. This afternoon we're going out again...to Cosmic!! Yahoo!
