The Snowy Day

Dad took me to the library the other day and we picked out this book called "The Snowy Day." Mom and Dad both remember reading it when they were little kids. And mom says that it was Aunt Sharon's favorite book. I like it a lot, too, but I'm kinda forgetting what a real snowy day is like.

A cool new trick

I figured out that if I push down and toward me on the edge of a cylinder (like one of the toy oil drums from my Hot Wheels stunt car set), it will shoot across the floor and spin like a top! It was a pretty cool discovery and I showed Dad what I learned. He mumbled some stuff about physics and friction and torque, then he sort of trailed off and walked away, scratching his head. Oh well. It was still a fun new trick.

Sponge animals!

Mom found these cool magic animal capsules at the store. Dad told me that when you put one in warm water, the 'shell' dissolves, and a sponge animal shape appears! I reminded him that "Grandma's house has warm water" and that we should probably get them and see for ourselves. And that's what we did.

Making a Valentine.

When we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Kingston this weekend, Mom found out about a Valentine card making event for kids at Adams Fairacre Farms. Mom and Dad took me there and I made a Valentine for Grandma M. It was fun and she loved it.

Nap time.

Dad can't fall asleep with out a teddy bear.

"Spabarigus"

Mom made a delicious Cod dinner the other night (Dad helped), including my favorite vegetable.

For the birds.

I helped 'Pa feed the birds and squirrels the other day. We heard a bird whistling a tune. I think he was saying "thanks for the food."
