The Cult of "F" and Valentine's Day

When Mom picked me up from Darcy Read Co-op pre-school today I came home with an "F" on my forehead.

Mom asked if I joined a cult or something.

I told her that it was more of a gun club than a cult.....just kidding.  We started the letter F at school today.  I have an F on my forehead and an F on my foot.  Fortunately teacher Shannon had the good sense to use a washable marker as opposed to a Sharpe.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day.  We had a party.  We frosted cookies, and gave cards and candy to all of our classmates.

Here is my box!

It was hard getting my hand in there....but I managed to get the candy out,oh yes, and the cards.....

It was fun.

School and other things....

Mom finally finished my rainbow skull sweater.  It only took ten months!  I can wear it right now since even though it's a size 6 (to fit six year olds.)

I like it, but find it warm.  I am hot blooded!

Today at school I played with the Potato Heads.  I built them and then I made them self destruct. 

Look at this one!

Here I am with Olivia, Vaugn, & Porter.

Some of my friends painted jungle animals with shaving cream & paints.  Cesa was working on this elephant.

Nice!  I do not like touching messy things.

We played sitting on the bus-singing the song.  I sat next to Vaugn.

After that, I became grumpy and had a hard time sitting.  I told Mom that I had a terrible day at Pre school.

New Look

I got my hair cut yesterday.  I asked my stylist NOT to wash my hair.  She used a spray bottle instead.  I got two lollipops because I sat still-even though I had a "I don't want to be here" look on my face.  School pictures are in February so Mom wanted me cleaned up.  Also, I found out that I will be in my first dance performance at the end of June.  It's "Alice in Wonderland".  My Mom can't wait.

Maddox turns One

Finally my cousin is growing up.  He started walking within the last couple of weeks.  I asked Mom when he'd talk and she told me not for another year and a half.  Wow.  It's taking a LONG time.  We passed on my train set to Maddox.  I loved that wooden train set when I was one and two.

There he is.....

There were two other boys about my age.  They were fun until the parents put on a movie.  I am not a big movie watcher-I'd rather play.   Fortunately Dad was available for fun.

We played pool.  I liked getting the colored balls in the pockets.

Here is a picture of Grandma Jeanie with her two grandsons.

State of Emergency?

Ok-it's been a week since this has happened.  Our snow turned into frozen rain and covered everything!  Trees started to bend over, roads were ice rinks and power cables were snapping all over the place!  We were lucky, we only lost power for little over a day.  We spent the night with my Grandparents because even thought they live close, they are on a different power grid.

Here are some bushes bending away from the house!

We came home for a couple of hours-the house was 49 degrees.  Mom heated water on the BBQ for tea.  Fortunately the power came back on late afternoon.

The dogs were wearing their sweaters indoors and snuggling up in their beds.  Unfortunately, about 4 days later we had a wind storm that brought 50-60mph winds off the Sound.  We lost power at 11:30pm but the power company had it back on after several hours.  Fortunately the weather has been really calm the last couple of days.

Snow Day 2

Later on Wednesday I got outside with my neighbor Lillian.  The snow was much stickier than it was in the morning.  I was able to make snow balls.  I declared to my mother that "I love winter!"  Fortunately, she didn't bring up the fact that I said quite the opposite a couple days ago.  I was mad because school was canceled.

I could make snow balls!  I had a small fight with Mom because Lillian was too young to play.

Lillian found her snow balls!  But, she didn't throw them.

I had two!

I made some snow angels!

And we helped with a snowman.

Snow Day

The Seattle Area is experiencing "Snow Storm '12" as they call it on the news channels.  My Dad stayed home and there was no school, parent meetings or knitting groups.  The milkman actually made the  milk delivery but we are dubious about the poor postman coming......

Dad and I were going to make a fort, but it was too cold and would not stick together.

We decided to go in and wait to see if it warmed up.  So far, it hasn't.  The news is forecasting rain on Friday, so the snow in should be short lived.
