Weekend Recap

Here it is -- Wednesday, and I haven't filled any of you in on my weekend. It was another busy one.

On Friday, we drove down to Toldeo because Auntie Di Di's son, Jason, was getting married. Jason is one of 4 McKinnon brothers, and they were all there: Patrick, Andy, Kelly, and Jason. The wedding was outside, and it was really nice. We had chicken for dinner. It was scrumptious! In fact, I liked it so much, I ate my piece and most of my mom's. I also had two pieces of cake. When it came time to dance, I danced a little bit with Papa, GG and Mom. One time, Kelly danced with my mom. I didn't like that so much. I started to cry and said, "That's my mommie." Around 10, Papa took me and Mom back to the hotel. As we were leaving, my mom was carrying me down three steps. She tripped or something on the first step and started to fall. She fell from the third step to the bottom and onto her knees, but...I never even touched the floor! My mom is superwoman!

On Saturday, we went to the Tigers game with Uncle Josh. It was awesome! The Tigers rallied in the bottom of the 9th to send it into extra innings. Then they won in the 10th. There were three ladies sitting in back of us. They were flirting with me (of course). One tried to take my paci. I was not having any of that. I told her "NO!"

On Sunday, Papa played a baesball game in Bay City. We went to it, and it started off great, but then it started to rain. It poured. Mommie and I waited in the car for a bit. When it stopped raining, we went back to watch the game. After the game, we hurried back to Midland. We had to run an errand at the mall, and it closes at 6 pm. We got there at 5:45. Mommie carried me to the store, and we made it in time. Then we went to Target, and then we went to Meijer. It was a very busy day!

Beautiful Piggies

Tonight when me and mom were eating popcorn in bed (it's our Sunday night ritual), we were discussing her toes. See, she had a pedicure this week, and she let me pick out the color. I picked out purple. Anyway, I was looking at her toes, and I said "I pick that color."

She said, "Yes, you did a good job."

I said, "You like purple."

Mommie said, "I love it!"

"Why?"

"Because you picked it out. Do you want purple on your toes too?"

I said, "No."

My mom said, "Why?"

I told her, "Because my feet already beautiful."

And there you have it.

What a Life!

Here's the low down on what I've been up to.

On Friday, my mom picked me up from school. We were going to go to the park, but it was raining. Instead my mom took me to the "cheap" movie theater to see "Earth." It was a Disney movie that came out on Earth Day. James Earl Jones -- A University of Michigan alum! -- narrated the story about various families of animals. I really liked it. That's why I talked throughout the entire movie. When I saw the baby ducks walking, I said "Look! They shake their booties." When the wolf was chasing the caribou I told my mom that the wolf was not nice and not making a good choice. One time a baby elephant couldn't see because the wind was bowing sand in his eyes, and he walked into a tree. I told my mom "He no watch where he going. Run into tree. Boom!" Finally, a leopard was chasing a gazelle, and my mom told me they were playing. When the leopard threw the gazelle to the ground my mom said the leopard made a bad choice, but I corrected her right away. "The leopard is hugging the baby deer."

On Saturday, my mom and I met Papa and GG by our house to go up north to Mackinac Island. Mackinac Island is a historic island in Lake Huron by the Upper Peninsula. It is the site of Fort Mackinac, and historical events happened there. We went because my Papa had a game there. We had to take a ferry over from Mackinac City to Mackinac Island. It was cool -- the ferry had a rooster tail the entire time. The Island was a lot of fun, even though it was kind of cold. They had tons of ice cream. And guess what? No cars are allowed on the island! You can walk, ride a bike or take a horse drawn taxi. I liked the horses a lot. Every time I saw one, I would say "Way to go horsey! Way to go!" I even saw a horse pee! I thought that was really cool. After my nap, my mom put me in my Granger uniform -- just like Papa's, and we had to go up the hill to the game. We had a lot to carry, so we took a taxi! It was awesome!

Papa's team won the game, and after the game, we all went to a bar to celebrate. Even me! After we partied, we went back to our hotel. I was a little hyper so I was running and sliding. Then the front desk called our room because someone reported that there was a party going on in our room. Well, duh! I was there, and I am a party all by myself. I didn't even go to sleep until 11 o'clock. I partied like a rock star!

It was a great weekend.

Smooches.

What I learned at school

Yesterday my mom coughed in her hand, and I said "No! Cough in your elbow. No get germs."

See? I'm paying attention.

Weekend Update

I know you are just dying to know what I did this weekend. Never fear, I'm here to let you know.

On Friday, me, Papa and Mommie went to dinner. Then we walked to Dairy Queen. I always get a twist cone with sprinkles. My mom had a blizzard. I saw the blizzard had chocolate chunks in it, so I said "Trade," and I started to eat her blizzard. Hey -- I'm not some dumb kid. I ate a lot of it too!

On Saturday, I went to soccer class, but I didn't really feel like playing. After my nap on Saturday, we went to Papa's base ball game. The Grangers won, and I played base ball while I watched. I get hit the ball off the pitch! After the game, we stopped at 7-Eleven -- the date was 7-11 -- and got our free slurpees. I got Cherry and Sour Apple mixed -- delicious!

On Sunday, we went to the Tigers game. It was a lot of fun, and they won! My Tiger, Brandon Inge, hit 2 home runs. The guy sitting next to GG was really loud, and he scared me and made me cry. At the Tigers game I ate: Nacho chips, Edy's Dibs and drank some Diet Pepsi. Yummy!

It was a great weekend for me. Hope it was great for you.

Next weekend we are going to Mackinac Island for Papa's game.

Gems from X

Here are some things I've recently said:

"Keep your hands off my friend!" Said to my mom when she was ticking me in the park. Even I don't know who I meant when I said "friend."

"I drive us to imagination station." This is what I told my mom when I got in the play car at the park. Imagination Station is the school I go to when I'm at my Papa and GG's.

"Mommie, Michael Jackson not a bad boy...he made a bad choice." I am now obssessed with MJ, and we were listening to "Bad" in the car.

Happy (Belated) Birthday America

July 4th was America's Birthday. I learned that in school. I had a great weekend.

On Friday, July 3. My Papa and Mommie were going to take me to a park to play. At the very last minute Uncle Gosh jumped in Papa's car and went with us. That was a great surprise! This park we went to is really cool. It has a hill made of astroturf, and you can slide down it on a cardboard box. After the park, we went to my mom's hair salon. She was getting it cut, and she wanted to show me off. They loved my hair.

On Friday night, Papa, GG, me and my Mommie took me to see Ice Age II. It was really funny. I liked Buck a lot. I also liked eating lots and lots of popcorn.

On Saturday, my Mommie and I went to eat lunch with her friend Eric. We went to the Original House of Pancakes -- so yummy! Eric bought me a big Michigan pampasan chair. It's awesome. Saturday evening, we went to Granny Nanny's house. Noah was there, and we had a great time. We played and went in Granny Nanny's pool. At one point Noah even took off his clothes and jumped in -- what a crazy guy! On Saturday night, we also watched Granny Nanny's neighbor light fireworks. At first I was scared, but then Papa explained that the noise couldn't hurt me. So I told everyone "Don't be scared. Noise no hurt you. They're pretty." I also got to hold some "parklers" aka "sparklers." That was a lot of fun too!

On Sunday, we went to Miss Sharon's on Sylvan Lake to watch fireworks. They have really great fireworks. The whole time I kept telling everyone "They not scary. They pretty." My favorites were the blue and green ones. After the fireworks, we packed up and went home. I didn't get home until midnight!

It was a great weekend!
