Mom was home the whole day today. We've spent the last hour or so playing computer games. I'm helping her here. I love playing computer games, but sometimes I have trouble using the mouse! I don't have a thumb to hold it well. But Mom helps me most of the time.
Eva is settling in her new home with us today. Mom made her some new clothes that fit her better. She is enjoying our company. She says that she likes all the attention and hopes to stay here forever. I told her that she didn't have anything to worry about.
The lights that were on the tree weren't working. So Mom and I had to take them all off. That was a lot of work! They were pushed to the center of the tree, so we had to pull them out of branches. Since it is an artifical tree, the branches kept on coming out too!
Then we put on all the new lights, and arranged them just so. I want to help put the ornaments up. This tree has a lot of bird ornaments, glass ornaments, bells, and metal horns. It's really festive. I like decorating for Christmas. Mom and Grandma have a smaller tree that is more my size too. I hope that I can help fix that one. One strand of lights on that tree are out too. Mom and Grandma have to buy new lights with green wires. I don't know why it matters so much, but Mom thinks so! So we've got to wait!
Mom got to stay home today. Besides putting up the Christmas tree lights, we cooked lunch and napped. I watched her put ribbons on a new dress for Chloe too. I like it when she is at home. She's got to go to work tomorrow, but she has the whole weekend off!
baggie and shake! That was pretty fun too. Then we laid the chicken out in a nice row in the pan. Then she put it in the oven because it was much too hot for me. Then I helped her wrap the potatoes in tin foil. Those went into the oven too.
First, this is my sister Chloe. Mom brought her home from Build-a-Bear. She is very nice, even for a little sister! She likes puppies, kitties, and going to the park. She likes to imagine that she’s a lady from the olden days. She likes pretending to have tea with her friends.
This is my friend Robinson. Mom brought him home from Build-a-Bear too. We always have great fun. We like imagining that we’re pirates, cowboys, or even astronauts! He likes to read too. We read the boy books together that Chloe isn’t interested in. We also like going outside. Robinson loves playing in leaves, snow, or even sand. He wants it to snow so we can go outside and play. I’m not sure if Mom’ll let us go outside too much! Either way, I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun.
While Mom was gone to work, we decided to get a new book off the chest at the end of her bed. It was quite the adventure. Thankfully, Charlotte is very tall. Chloe climbed on her back and pulled herself right up there. Our new book is Click-Clack, Quackity Quack, by Doreen Cronin. It's an alphabet adventure with the same characters as Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type. That's one of our favorites!
Tomorrow the patio in front of the house gets put up. Or put down, to be more exact. It's basically ground covered with bricks. We're going to watch from the balcony!
