One of my favorite things to do is cut up paper. Mommy gives me a pair of safety scissors and I’ll sit on the floor with a piece of paper and spend a long time cutting it into little pieces.I concentrate real hard and say snip every time I make a cut. Its good for my coordination skills. The only problem is I like cutting the paper into tiny little pieces for Mommy to clean up, the things she lets me do so I’ll be quiet for half an hour.

The seeds I planted are getting really big! I’ve been watching them real close every day and watching them grow. It only took two days for us to have some little sprouts and they are growing very quickly. Mommy used this to teach me how plants grow and now that we have sprouts I’m learning the different parts of the plants. Mommy said when the weather gets better we’ll move them outside and plant them in the garden bed her and Opa built. I like helping Mommy in the garden and I’m looking forward to eating veggies from our garden.

I like helping Mommy around the house but I don’t like picking up my toys. We had a great tent in our living room that had a toy box inside. I loved to play in it and had so much fun with it. When I’m told to pick up my toys I refuse, throw tantrums and stomp off to my room. I’m normally good but I really don’t like to clean up my toys.

Mommy threatened that if I didn’t pick up my toys that she would bag them up and throw them out. I didn’t believe her but Friday she did it! Not only did she throw out the toys, she took away the toy box and the tent! All we have left is our Rody Horse, Ethan’s train and car table, the Handy Manny tool box and the giraffe bike.

The joke is on Mommy and Daddy, we really don’t miss a lot of the toys but I do want my play tent back.

My Opa is coming this weekend to help build a fence for our veggie garden. We got the house with lots of land so we can grow our own veggies in the summer. Yesterday we got our seeds started so they’ll be ready to plant when the garden is done. I of course was a huge help. It was raining outside so we planted them on our kitchen floor and made a huge mess. I took handfuls of dirt from the bag and put them in the containers; once that was done mommy helped me plant all the seeds. Eventually we’re going to have carrots, spinach, onions, tomatoes, watermelon, zucchini, some herbs and lots more.

This is me even though you can’t tell with all the hair in my face.

The weather has been really nice this week and we’ve been spending a lot of time out in the Jeep. We love the Jeep and complain every time Mommy and Daddy try to make us go somewhere in the Yukon, its just not as fun! Today we were sitting at a traffic light and for some reason I decided it would be fun to throw my sunglasses out the window. I yelled “Uh oh, get glasses”! The light turned green and since we only had Mommy out with us she couldn’t get out of the car to get my glasses. I love my sunglasses and started screaming when we started to drive away. Thankfully Mommy turned the corner and went into the parking lot of the gas station, hopped out and went to see if she could get them. I had thrown them far enough out that a car didn’t run over them so Mommy scooped them up and brought them back to the car. She was mean though and wouldn’t give them to me. All that screaming tired me out and I decided that I needed a nap. I’m sure Mommy was not happy about that so it made me happy.

Mommy was listing some of our old stuff on Craigslist and she found this really great pool and got it for us. We can’t fill it with water yet because Mommy has to power wash it and move it to the play area. We are so excited about it! I can’t wait to go down the slide when its full of water.

Today was beautiful and we went outside with mommy to plant some seeds for our veggie garden. We were only outside for a few minutes when Mommy rushed us back in. She said we must have a hornet nest nearby because they were after us! Since we couldn’t play outside Mommy moved our table into the office so we could hang put with her while she worked. Mommy pulled out a lot of stuff from the craft kit and just let us do whatever we wanted. I’m a big girl and Mommy lets me use scissors all on my own. She even lets me have glue now! Glue is my absolute favorite. Ethan and I sat and made lots of things for Mommy and Daddy and had a lot of fun.

Today was an exciting day around the house, my favorite person Mr JD was here painting the stairs. I didn’t get to go down for a nap because of the wet paint so Mommy tried to get me to lay down on the couch with no luck, I didn’t want to share it with Ethan. He didn’t rebel enough and went to sleep but I made sure he didn’t sleep very long. I had dance class tonight and because I was so tired from not napping I misbehaved, not only did I misbehave I did it so much that my dance teacher sat me in the corner. I was the first person this whole dance season to be put in the corner, I am usually one of the good ones! Its only eight weeks until our recital. I don’t know what that is but I’ve been told that I’ll get to dress up in a pretty costume.

Here’s a picture of me that Mommy took just before my first dance class back in September, I’ve grown a lot since then!

The weather here has been really nice and warm. The sun has been out and Mommy has been taking us outside to dig in the gardens for a few hours every day. We have lots of worms! I hold them, pet them and play with them. Mommy was laughing at me because I put some in my Jeep and took them for a ride. I’m not very good at finding them but Georgie is and she gave me lots of them. We enjoyed it so much that we now have our own garden that we can dig in all we want.

We haven’t been around much lately, Mommy has been busy with the house and Daddy works hard. Its been a really busy year taking down the wallpaper and painting the walls. Mommy said I was too little to help her with that sort of painting. Ethan and I just got back from spending six weeks with Oma and Opa, we were not meant to be gone that long but our house was broken and it wasn’t safe for us to come home. While I was away Mommy finished my princess butterfly garden room! I really love my room and my big girl bed. Mommy took down all the wallpaper and painted the walls green. Then a really nice lady named Tania came in and painted flowers all over the walls. Mommy and Daddy just had new carpet put in and put up pretty flower curtains and some more butterflies. I even have a dollhouse in there now! When I go down for my nap I stay in my room and play with my dolls. Here’s some pictures of my finished room!
