Hey, gang. I have a lot to share this week. Last Saturday Mom had plans so Dad and I had the house to ourselves. She did give us a job to do ... pull up tiles from the closet and find out if we have hardwood in the entryway. I used my hammer, my shovel, my flashlight and helped Dad with the pry bar. Success! Wood!
It was a dirty job and found out that dirt on hands gets on faces if you scratch your nose. Lesson learned.
That afternoon Mom and I went to a birthday party for a friend. I really felt the need to wear my fire uniform and I think it made people at the party comfortable knowing a trained professional was on hand in case anything happened.
One thing about working in the closet? I found my swimming bag! After I got home from the party I changed out of my fire uniform and got into my swimming gear.
One should always wear a lifejacket when eating chicken nuggets.
Tuesday night Mom, Dad and I went to the shrove pancake feed at church. I ate four BIG pancakes and left full.
The weather has been kind of weird. Tuesday it was cold but Wednesday (which was an early out day at school) it was nice enough that I could go to the park and practice swinging. Mom and I worked on leaning back and pulling on the chain and I got going pretty well on my own!)
Thursday was Valentine's Day! Special donuts for breakfast, a party at school then gifts at night? Yeah!
Thanks to Mom's efforts I had the coolest tray of cookies to share with the class.
And those gifts at night? They were awesome. Valentine's Day rocks!
