Halloween

It's been a long time since anyone posted on my website. Almost two full weeks. But now that I have a picture to post from Halloween it's time for an update.

I've been having lots of fun at school and at home. Now that the cold weather is here (and they have the playground locked at school for a new procedure) we don't stay to play at school all that much but mommy will still come and pick me up. I've been working with Ainsley (the occupational therapist) every second Friday and I really like to work with her. She always has fun games. I'm still doing swimming lessons every Tuesday afternoon and I really love that. Sometimes I act silly in the pool but I'm getting to wear I can almost float on my own. Yahoo! Maybe this time I will actually move onto the next level.

The big news of the week was Halloween! I was so excited for it this year!! On Monday we carved the big pumpkin, painted the little pumpkin and made pumpkin cookies to bring to school. Tuesday morning I was up at 5am because I was so excited for Halloween! I kept asking and asking about going to school. Mommy came for the day to school too so she took some pictures of my class. I spent the day being a firefighter and boy did I ever look cool! My class was part of the assembly and we performed Five Little Pumpkins. I did a great job. Then we had my cookies and some other snacks some of the other kids brought...yum! Ms Dudar gave us Halloween treats too...we're so lucky! Tony came over to go trick or treating with us. His first year in a very long time so I showed him how it was done. I was out for about one hour getting treats and I came home with a bunch. One lady actually thought I was a real firefighter and that her house was on fire...how silly is that?? After I got tired of walking we headed over to the Science Museum and to check out their Halloween stuff. This year they had a haunted house but I didn't want to go in it...that stuff is just to scary for me. But I played the four wheeler game, got more candy and played in the car and in the tunnels. Boy was I ever tired for my bed that night.

I've also spent some time this week playing with Finn. On Wednesday they came to play at the park after school so we played all the way from the time my class ended until it was time for Finn's class to start. I saw Ms Dudar with her afternoon class and got to play with Hodman, Amanda and Shyauna too who were all my class last year. Then today after school we met Finn at McDonald's and we got to play some more...and eat yummy food. I was trying to keep up with Finn in the playland but boy she's a good climber.

That's all for now.

Winter is coming

Winter must be on the way!! I saw snow falling at daddy's house yesterday but it didn't stay on the ground. And today it is raining AGAIN!! Mommy and me are getting so sick of rain...we need to see the sun!!

I had a great sleep last night and this morning at school I had lots of fun. There were hardly any kids at school today though...they must have forgot that it was Monday and a school day. We went to the library and I picked a princess book for mommy, Sleeping Beauty, and we had French time and we worked on french numbers. I'm getting pretty good but I still confuse French counting with Spanish counting. It sounds so close! We made an Itsy Bitsy Spider book too that I wrote my name on. My name is written perfect but backwards...silly me...I wrote retraC. Oops!

This afternoon has been pretty lazy. I got my new Chirp magazine and they have a contest to win a dog so I drew a very nice picture of a dog and then we went out on my bike to get a stamp to mail it. I hope I win! They had a cool matching game and stuff in there too.

That's all for now.

Weekend @ Daddy's

Good Sunday night everybody!

I had quite a weekend. It's always fun at Daddy's though.

Thursday night I went to Beaver's and we did a craft to help me keep track of my dues every week. We also played with the big town we built. I had built a train and a bridge and a Wal-mart. Somebody brought in a house made out of a big screen TV box. I got to bring that home after. Pretty cool. I was pretty tuckered when I got to Daddy's in the afternoon and I was even more tuckered after Beaver's.

Friday morning I wasn't very cooperative about getting my shoes and coat on. I was still pretty tuckered I guess. I went to school and then to playgroup in the afternoon with Mommy. Daddy picked me up at playgroup and we were off to pick up Sylvie. I fell asleep in the van for almost an hour during that stretch. It sure was good to get a little nap. Friday night, Clark and I went for a sleepover at Aunt Glenda's house with Grandma and GG. That was super fun.

Saturday morning when Daddy arrived I was too busy playing trains to pay too much attention to him. We got all packed up and headed for home. When we got home I wasn't really hungry for lunch, but I was still pretty grumpy and tired so I went for another nap. I slept for 2.5 hours. Then I got to stay up a little late with Jordan and his friends at their sleepover. They sure were crazy kids. I heard that they didn't go to bed until 3:30 in the morning.

Sunday morning Daddy and I were off to the home depot looking for parts for the screen door. They didn't have what we needed so we drove back home and Daddy rigged up the door a different way. I was still a little tired and grumpy again on Sunday. Sometimes my temper really gets the better of me. I can throw quite the little temper tantrum. Right in the middle of my temper tantrum, Grandma arrived. I had to go and spend quite a while in my room, but then I finally calmed down and was allowed to come back down. We had a really fun visit and I watched a Spy movie with Jordan. We had some dinner and then Grandma drove me home to Mommy's. That was pretty cool.

I guess that's it for now. Have a good week everybody.

Picture Day

Last night mommy and I had a great night at home just playing and hanging out. We watched a bit of Lady and the Tramp on CBC...I was really enjoying it!

This morning was up and going and back to school. I think I slept with mommy most of the night last night but I didn't even wake her up when I climbed into bed. I'm sneaky! I haven't done that in a very long time. Today was Picture Day at school!! So I picked to wear my cool Lightening McQueen jersey. We got to go to the library today too and we were so busy that we didn't have any playtime. But since it's such a nice day mommy came to pick me up so I got to play at the park after school for quite awhile with Alex, Jason, Meghan and Amanda. Yippee!!

This afternoon I had to do some work on my letters and printing then we went to Giant Tiger where I found the coolest light up Lightening McQueen pen with feathers on it too! Neato!! Then we came home to bake some muffins and worked on making some more cardboard stuff for my town at Beavers. Then we went to Loblaws to buy some more groceries and I got to pick out a pumpkin. It's the perfect one!! Mommy just about couldn't make it home after picking it up to put in the wagon but we made it.

That's all for now. I'm off to put the finishing touches on my cardboard stuff.

Another picture

I was going to post to put another picture from our weekend but blogger is not working properly and won't let me.

We're getting back into a routine of being home. Yesterday Auntie Kim, Uncle Mike and mommy picked me up at school and we went to pick up a sprinkle donut and then came back home to play for a bit. I was having a great time playing cars with Uncle Mike. Tony came over and then we all went for lunch at Montana's...I ate almost my WHOLE kids meal there. Boy I was hungry. Then we had to say goobye to Aunt Kim and Uncle Mike and we went with Tony to Wal-mart to get some pictures developed and pick up some milk. I got some new Cars bubble bath too. The rest of the night was pretty relaxing.

This morning was back up and off to school. I brought home some very nice work today that I wrote my whole name on. It is great! And some pretty fall leaves we picked at school too. This afternoon is more playing and cleaning up the apartment. Mommy is moving pretty slow and has a hard time bending and sitting and well doing everything. She has to go for x-rays of her butt tomorrow...how funny is that?! haha

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are home from Sault Ste Marie...after the best weekend EVER! I had so much fun! We left Ottawa about 8pm on Wednesday night so we didn't get to North Bay until midnight. I got to stay in the biggest bed ever at the hotel. We were a little slow going on Thursday so we didn't get to the Soo until 4pm. Uncle Mike is a sleepy head. :) We visited with Papa, Grandma and Grandpa and had dinner at Papa's house. Friday morning Grandpa and I were up bright and early to do our jobs. We had to go to the lumber store and Canadian Tire. Then it was race time with Papa. I rode the red four wheeler and Papa was on his tractor...I think I cheated but I still won. I loved racing under the trees and ducking my head. Grandpa sure had to run to keep up. I love driving the four wheeler and I'm getting really good! While we were stopped for a "coffee break" the funniest thing happened. A chipmunk climbed up onto the seat of Papa's tractor and peed...right on his seat. haha So silly! Then we went to see the horses at Sherry's house with Aunt Kim and Uncle Mike. She has 2 big horses, a pony, 2 pot bellied pigs and a rooster. We had so much fun petting and feeding her friendly horses. Then it was back to grandpa's for dinner. Auntie Jodie, Uncle Paul, Emma, Auntie Carrie and Uncle Brad came too. It was a full house!

Saturday morning we were up bright and early to go catch the train! We brought so much stuff...even the kitchen sink! :) I loved riding the train. At Achigan the engineer came back to get Emma and me and Grandpa and mommy and we walked through the baggage cars and all the way up to the front of the engine. WOW! We got to sit in the engineers seat until we got to Ogidaki. That was just the coolest thing! And then we hopped out of the front of the engine. Auntie Jodie brought the two goofy dogs (Lucy and Caesar) and all of us had a great day at camp. I sure played a lot with Emma. We made the dogs crates into our fort outside. It was fun! We even had a bonfire Saturday night.

Sunday morning was up bright and early and had a big breakfast and then we went for a super long hike over the mountain, out to the road and back by the pond. I did so well hiking but Auntie Jodie and Uncle Paul gave me shoulder rides up the last two big hills. We saw at least 6 partridge. Grandpa tried to shoot one on Saturday night but he missed...but we saw lots very close up. They're not very smart birds! I also picked up some birch bark, lots of partridge feathers and a bolt from the railroad track to bring home for treasures. By the time we got back to camp the train had come by and Papa Pete was there with grandma, Aunt Kim, Uncle Mike, Auntie Dawne and Erik and Mattie. A full camp! We had a great afternoon playing in the leaves and fishing. Oh and on Saturday I marked an X for hidden treasure and Uncle Paul and Uncle Brad ended up digging up a HUGE rock!! So big they had to pull it out with the four wheeler and we found Halloween treasures under the rock! That was fun! By the time we got back to the house Sunday boy was I ever tired and dirty. But camp was so much fun...I think I'd like to live there.

Monday morning we went back to Sherry's house to ride the horses. Brittany came too so we helped mommy get Sierra ready to ride. We did a great job brushing her. Sierra was argueing with mommy when they were riding but mommy had a blast. Until Sierra got into some trouble in the bush, got her hoof caught in the plow for the ring and bucked mommy off...right on her butt! But after mommy rode a bit more and I got to ride too! I had so much fun up there. Brittany rode too, then it was time to give the horsies tons of treats and head back to the house. Mommy felt a little sick from her fall so she had a nap to feel better and I played until it was turkey time. Everyone came back over for turkey. I didn't want that but I had fun playing with Emma again.

Yesterday was the very, very long ride home. We got home at 9 last night and today I'm back to school with my treasures. That's all for now but mommy will post some pictures later.

October

Wow there's been no updates on my website in almost one whole month. Boy that's a long time!! A lot has happened in the month of September. So here goes...

The biggest thing is that I started Senior Kindgarten. I am one of the big kids now! I'm in Ms Dudar's class and boy is it fun. It's a lot more work then Mrs Hamilton's class was and not as much time to play but I'm getting used to it. I'm in a whole new classroom with different toys to play with and everything. A new cubby too! I still go int he mornings so I am home nice and early. On the nice days mommy walks to school to pick me up but when it's rainy out then I have to take Vicky's bus. But I sit with Jordan and Adrian and have tons of fun. I met some new friends in my class this year but about 10 kids from my class last year are there and that includes Alex and Jordan. So that is good! Now that we are big kids we get to go to the gym a lot more and we get to go to the library to pick out on own book every Monday. That is pretty fun! Mrs Hamilton's class comes to our classroom for music on Friday's and we still have French every day but this year our teacher is Mr D. We started the school year but doing school safety and now we've moved onto apples. I'm learning the names of all sorts of different apples and we got to sort some and then taste them to see which one was our favorite. I liked all of them!

What else happened...I started my swimming lessons again on Tuesday afternoons. There is one other boy and one other girl in my class. I act silly with them and have tons of fun in the pool. I'm becoming a little social butterfly. :) On Thursday nights Sylvie takes me to Beavers and I am having a ton of fun there too.

What else did we do in September...there was a Meet the Teacher BBQ at my school...I got to eat good food and play for hours with all my friends from last year. That was fun! And we've taken outings to Cosmic, the Science and Tech Museum, a workshop with glitter glue at big playgroup, and we spent lots of time at the park biking and playing. I'm even starting to ride my bike with only 2 wheels!! But I need a bit more practice.

I also started to see a new occupational therapist at school. I've seen her twice now and her name is Ainsley. She's very nice! Mommy came to school on Friday for the morning to help out and so that she could meet Ainsley too.

It was a short weekend at daddy's house too because I came back home Saturday night so that on Sunday we could go in the CIBC Run For the Cure. It was rainy and there were puddles and mud everywhere but we still had a good time. Tony came too. We saw a bunch of dogs wearing silly shirts and the police van was following us for awhile. Afterwards we had some snacks, came home to play and then went to have lunch at Tony's house. I had the best pork sandwich on a nice fresh portuguese bun...yum! And an apple for dessert. In the afternoon I played a bunch of car game and then we went to check out the CHEO house. Boy is it big!! I think everyone I know could live there.

Now I'm spending 12 days with mommy!! Tonight we Aunt Kim and Uncle Mike are coming to pick us up and we're going to Sault Ste Marie. Yahoo!! I am so excited that I am bouncing off the walls and mommy says we're going to go spend the afternoon at the Children's Museum so that I don't drive myself crazy. I think we're going to stay in a hotel in North Bay tonight so we'll be there tomorrow. Then we get back to Ottawa Tuesday or Wednesday. We're going to go sleepover at Ojidaki too...wow!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
