Corny

Hi there everybody! Here's a question for you. What has ears but cannot hear?



A corn field!



Haaarrrrrdy, harrrrrrr, harrrrr. Man was that funny!


Anyway, I had a lot of fun this week. I went to the park and played with Taylor, Tyson, Avery, Addison, and Xander. We swung on all of the swings and slid down all of the slides. My favorite was the tire swing.


Dad came home from Savannah. He had lots of stories to share about the big container ships sailing into port and all of the pretty houses there. I rode my tricycle around the neighborhood and picked up rocks, dandelions, and other treasurers. Dad helped keep me from picking up the stuff I wasn't supposed to like our neighbors landscaping. I rubbed a dandelion on Dad's hand and it turned yellow. Weeds are so cool.


The highlight of the week was baking my strawberry cookie sandwiches with Mom. First we baked the cookies. Mom took care of that since I'm not allowed to use the stove yet. I picked out the strawberries and Mom cut them into slices.



Then, I spread frosting on one cookies, stacked a couple of strawberry slices and put another cookie on top.



There were delicious! Mom and Dad both said so. I forgot and left these three on my little table. The next morning Daisy said the cookies were pretty good too.


Here I am with my Cabbage Patch doll, Tanya Dandelion. She is my friend and pretty much the only reason Mom was able to coax me into a dress for church this morning--Mom said I could take her with me.



This morning at church I saw some other kids make their First Communion. It was pretty neat to watch. I especially liked the princess crowns the girls wore. Mommy said I will have a First Communion someday. She is a little less optimistic about getting me to wear a First Communion veil for more than 30 seconds. Maybe I'll give her a break that morning.


Dad said he had Swedish meatballs for lunch after his First Communion. I've seen pictures of Dad that special day, but it doesn't look like he's at Ikea in any of them. I guess I'll have to keep looking.


See you next week!

Moo?

This is where milk comes from?



Ummmm, I don't get it. Maybe I'll figure it out by next week.

Happy Easter!

Guess who stopped by this weekend? That's right the Easter Bunny came to visit!



We started out the week by taking a trip to the apple orchard for an Easter egg hunt. There were lots and lots of kids there waiting to look for eggs.



I found three very pretty eggs. It was a lot of fun looking for them with Mom and Dad. Then we went inside and I saw the Easter Bunny. I waived hello to him.


Then, a very nice and talented lady made a balloon frog for me.



Ribbitt. Ribbitt.


After that it was off to Pennsylvania. Mom and Dad had to look for a new house because we are moving. Grandma and Grandpa came too! We had lots of fun while Mom and Dad went out house hunting. We went to the library and the Burger King play area.


I made some new refrigerator artwork.....



and blew bubbles to pass the time.



We even drove to downtown Pittsburgh. Mom and Dad didn't have quite as much fun as we did.


By the end of the week they had found our new house......



.....and a new pre-school. I am not quite sure what this will mean for me. But, I like Pennsylvania so far.


At the hotel, we even colored Easter eggs together. Here I am giving Mom a big kiss. She looked like she needed a smile.


This is the face she made when I told her we were going to color Easter eggs!



I know can you believe it Mom? We're going to color Easter eggs!


Look at all of these Easter eggs!



Grandma and Grandpa brought eggs and dye to Pennsylvania just for this special day!


By the end of the week our trip to Pennsylvania was over so we came home to Ohio. I went to Aunt Maresa and Uncle Casey's house to look for some Easter eggs with my cousins Liam and Grayson.



We each found a bucketful of eggs. then we went to the community Easter egg hunt.



It was lots of fun running around with the other kids looking for eggs.


Finally, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house to color Easter eggs together.



After we finished up with the eggs.....


.....we all had dinner together and I spent the afternoon playing with my cousins and Uncle Mike.


As you can see, it was a very full week and I am really tired.



I think I will just take a quick nap and see you guys next week.
