LEGO Week

2013-12-09

This week I went to school four full days - that was fun. And every night we played with my DUPLO train.

One of this week's many DUPLO train layouts.

Waiting for the train with Totoro.

A bridge I built with Daddy.

Daddy and I went to visit Grandma Wynne on Saturday so Mommy could do some cleaning and baking without us being in her way. Grandpa Al was working late, so I did not get to see him until Sunday morning.

Daddy, Grandma Wynne, and I went to visit Great-grandma Dorothy, and while we were there I also got to see Uncle Billy, Auntie Diane, and Uncle Milton.

Did you ever notice how I am always struggling to get away whenever my picture is taken with a great-grandparent?

Sunday morning there was snow everywhere! I spent the morning playing with my train and my barn and refused to take a nap, even though I was very tired.

Sleepy - but refusing to sleep.

I went to Great-grandpa Les and Great-grandma Muriel's for lunch with Grandma Gail.

Lunch at Great-grandpa Les and Great-grandma Muriel's house. They let me drink out of the boot.

I spent the rest of the afternoon playing there, and had lots of fun, until Daddy and Duke came to pick me up. We drove straight home from there, which took a lot longer than usual. I fell asleep for most of the ride. I just can't fight a nap when I'm in the car.

When I got home, Mommy had a surprise for me - there is a tree in our house and it has lights on it! We only took a video of the tree last night, so I'll have some regular pictures next week.

Mommy has finals this week then she is off of work and school for two whole weeks. I am off of school after Tuesday, too. Daddy still has to work.

Thanks for reading - have a good week and stay warm!
