Baking, Trucks, and Two Parties

2015-05-18

Lots of excitement this week.

Mommy made cupcakes and I was the official frosting tester. It was all Grrrreat!

Testing all the frosting.

All of Mommy's cupcakes.

We brought the cupcakes to a party at my school and we had supper with all of my friends and their Mommies and Daddies. Then we went down to the basement to dance and have fun. I ran around for a while and then my friend Riker pushed me really fast all around the room!

Faster!

After the party I was really tired. I went right to bed when we got home.

The next day I didn't have school so Mommy and I spent the day together. And we stayed home on the weekend for the first time in forever.

Flyer!

Crash!

On Saturday I had a birthday party to go to, so I wrapped the present we bought for my friend Alex. We got him Spider-man LEGO.

Wrapping Alex's present.

Before we went to the Market, we stopped to look for garden stuff and the store we went to had lots of trains! We looked, but Daddy said I have enough expensive hobbies already. But we got a catalog anyway because they were free.

Looking at train catalogs.

After the Market it was time to look at the trucks! Just like last year lots of truck were parked all over downtown so we could look at them. This year there were even more! And there was a loader! I sat in almost everything.

Whee!

Behind the wheel.

After all that exercise being lifted in and out of trucks, I was hungry, so we had some lunch by the river.

And then it was time for Alex's birthday party!

Hiding Alex's present.

I ran around with the other kids and got really hot and sweaty. Then we had cake and ice cream.

After cake and ice cream Alex opened his presents and then we went outside. Alex's mom gave me a stick and told me to hit the blue monster hanging from the tree, so I did my best.

Having a whack at the pinata!

After that we went home for a nap.

On Sunday we started working in the garden and I helped pull weeds and rake the dirt and get the new garden box ready. We also went to graduation party for one of Mommy's friends and watched my favorite new show The Stinky and Dirty Show.

What a fun week. See you next time!
