First day of Fall


So yesterday was the first day of Fall and it was also mummy's birthday. She tried to convince me to sing Happy birthday to her but by the end of the night i managed to sing only the "Happy birthday to you" part. I am much better with making up my own versions of songs and singing them.
With summer being over it also brings the start of new activities to do throughout the year. It started off with school starting again. We are going back to Little Mtn. Strongstart and are hoping to be able to go 2 days a week cause on Mondays we get to go to the Library and Wednesdays are gym time. When I showed up at school the first day there were a few new things but mostly there was a brand new computer there just for kids to use. I haven't taken the time to try it out yet cause of course there are the toys to become reaquainted with (I think they missed me).
I also started my swimming lessons again but this time with a new instructor - a girl! I like her but mummy says the jury is still out on how well she teaches. Mummy says that she is not teaching me anything new and she is afraid that she is making it too easy and that I need to be challenged or at least worn out.
then on Thursday evenings I get to skate again with mummy and all the other little kids that get lessons from her. Last week was the first class and I had fun showing off my talent to all the other boys and girls who seemed to like just sitting on the ice or in chairs. I tried to convince them that skating was fun but I don't think they were that interested.
Of course now that it's Fall it also means that mummy is gone in the evenings teaching skating and I get to spend time again at my grandparents houses. there are even changes happening at their houses. My Nonna got a new puppy named Sascha and she really likes me and my messy face. I have been helping Nonna train her puppy by showing her how to sit in the chair for pictures.
At Grandma and Grandpa's house i got new sand in my sand box and more new toys to play with outside. Now I can entertain myself for hours diggin and burying. We also have 2 girls and their dog visiting my grandparents so I am trying to make friends with them and see if they like to play in the sand too.
So I have my days and nights full of lots of fun things to do and we haven't even started the really fun chores at homes such as house painting, shed building, tree planting, garden digging, burning more blackberry bushes and cleaning up the creek beds. Sounds like the fun is just beginning!

August activities

Wow the summer has just flown by and now it is the first day of Fall. So where did it go and what did I do you ask? This is how the last half of summer went.
Well you already know we went to Prince George to visit my uncle and that was fun but it was a very long drive.
Then because mummy said last year that she wants to camp more we had our 2nd camping trip of the summer. This time we went to Ross Lake just up from Hope and we had lots of people camp with us.. Not only did my aunts, uncle and cousins come, but our friends Kelly, Rebecca and their kids and another friend of my aunts with her 3 kids.
We even had my cousin Meagens birthday up there complete with a cake baked in a box oven. the only real downer to this trip was the fact we couldn't have a campfire and we really could have used one cause boy were there lots of mosquitos. We still had fun though cause we got to go canoeing


play at the park, have smores and run thru the woods making lots of noise


The rest of the summer was spent at home doing stuff at home (planting trees,re-decking the bridge, picking veggies or playing on the playground) or hanging out with friends and family.

Now it's time for all the fun Fall activities to start
