A Busy Week

2024-09-08

This week turned out to be much busier than I thought it would be - we did a lot of different things. So let's get started!

Monday

We spent the holiday at home. I decided we should wash the car. We also went for a walk around the neighborhood. It was a good day.

Washing the car.

Yes, I am wearing my napkin like a bandit mask.

Tuesday

We met up with Jonathan and Anthony at the park. Mostly we played with light sabers.

I'm coming to join the battle!

Caroline put on the Mandolorian helmet Jonathan made.

Wednesday

We had a good morning for school, and the day was beautiful. We met Nick, Jonathan, and Sydney at the toy store to play mini golf!

Our sunflowers got big...

...and tall!

Lining up my shot...

Oops! Ball in the water hazard!

Victory! No, we're still playing.

Time for some ice cream to help cool down after being in the sun.

Exploring in the toy store.

Found the TARDIS.

Checking ou the science area.

Playing in the costume area - I found, Sting, Frodo's sword from The Lord of the Rings.

So many marbles....

I love this sign!

Thursday

I did school with Mom, and after work Dad and I went to visit Jim and Oreo. We had not seen them in a while and Jim was recovering from getting a pace-maker installed.

The Weekend

On Friday after I was done with school I went to stay with Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne for the weekend. I took along some LEGO to work on. We bought some alternate instructions to turn one of my Coruscant gunships into a Dropship to carry my AT-TEs. And, of course I also went to the dog park.

Working on my LEGO project.

With my furry friends.

While I was having fun, Mom and Dad were working hard at home doing some cleaning and rearranging.

Dad moved his bike into the entry...

...so Mom could move the printer to a more accesible location in the living room.

And they put the black chair from their room into my room...

...after they moved my bookcase to the dining room.

My bookshelf and desk got straightened up.

And Dad moved one of his drafting tables up to the bedroom so we have an office space to use upstairs, for home school and trip planning.

Mom and Dad came to get me on Sunday. When I got home there were some surprises in addition to the rearranging.

New minifigs to open!

The Eagle guy is my favorite!

And ALDI had stroopwafels in stock! Yum!

And that was my week. Take care!
