We were all a little under the weather for Thanksgiving. Dad had to stay home because of work.
I had fun visiting my cousins and both sets of grandparents. Slowly but surely we are all recovering from our colds. I'll be home on Monday to see the snow in Indiana.
When I come home, I will have lots of new pictures to share from my Thanksgiving adventures.
See you guys next week.
Well, Fall is officially over and Winter is here. We had seven inches of snow at in one night.
Mom bought me new snow pants the day before all of the snow arrived. Good timing Mom!
We spent the afternoon playing in the snow together.
Later in the week, Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. We had lots of fun together. We went to school and SEARS for pictures. Grandma brought a water color painting book.
Dad and I worked on coloring Winnie the Pooh and Tiger all morning long.
I've been busy coloring and playing with Play dough. Maybe I'll color a picture to put on the blog. See you guys next week.
Not quite what we were going for with potty training here.
But.....we're working on it.
It has been very busy around our house lately. Dad has been working 18 hour days for the past few weeks.
Mom and I started something new.....gymnastics!
The first lesson was really fun.
We learned how to touch our toes and jump on a trampoline.
Dad had to take gymnastics in college.
He was graded on a scale of 1 to 5. For most exercises he got a "high" zero. Hopefully, I will be able to overcome my genetics and be somewhat coordinated and graceful.
Here's something I learned from Dad .... how to sit on the couch. Mom says on a scale of 1 to 5 for couch sitting he usually scores in the hundreds.
I don't get it.
See you guys next week!
Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with earth,
Next to nothing for color.
Next to nothing for use.
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall stop?

Sunday, after church, Mom and Dad took me to the park. I took one last look at the flowers before the Fall frosts.
The flower petals felt very soft. They were red, pink, and purple.
I spent most of the morning walking from flower bed to flower bed.
Sometimes you have to get really close.
I have been doing some other fun things, in addition to going to the park. Mom, Dad, and I rode the train into Chicago because I went to the bathroom on the potty.
This is Mom and me as Dune Park flashes by!
This week was also Halloween! I dressed up as a green M&M. It was a lot of fun. I also had a back-up costume. I hadn't quite made up my mind if I would let Mom put my M&M costume on.
I was going to be a doctor. But, I was willing to put on my M&M costume after all.
Here I am on Halloween night!
Grandma and Grandpa (Dad's parents) came to visit too.
We had lots of fun together.
Even Daisy dressed up.
On Saturday we all went to the park together.
By the way.....the answer to my question about who is this riding the tractor........
It's Grandma (Mom's mom).
Everybody loves to ride on a tractor!
