The Final Countdown

Well, I was in trouble last night. I kept Mom up ALL night. I only let her sleep for about two hours. I don't know what was wrong with my sleeping...Mom was really nice to me, though, and let me lay in her bed with her, even if I was keeping her awake. Sorry, Mom.

The countdown this morning was at 4. Four more days of big work for Mom. Hooray!! Summer is almost here!!

I had a great day. I went to Mrs. Leigh Ann's. Grandmom and Granddad brought me home. Mom was baking. Mrs. Leigh Ann had done my hair. Mom loved it. :)

Please pardon my sleepy eyes in that picture. Mom says you'll have that when you stay up all night. I enjoyed the rest of my day and now I'm ready to call it a night. Only 3 more days to go now!!

The Day Called Memorial Day

Today was the day called Memorial Day. This is what I learned about that:

The day called Memorial Day is sort of like the day called Veterans Day. The day called Veterans Day is a day to say thank you to all of the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the military. The day called Memorial Day is a day to remember all of those brave people who fought and died to protect America. On this day, it does not hurt to say thank you to the Veterans as well. In fact, I think you're supposed to. So to all of those brave people, I say thank you!

The day called Memorial Day was GREAT! First, Mom didn't have to go to big work. Woo hoo!! After we chilled this morning, we got dressed and went to the Target store. Mom got some stuff we needed and a surprise for me for later. Then we went to the WalMart store. Mom had to get stuff to make her cakes for the week. We came home and I had lunch and took a nap. Great day so far!

When I woke up from my nap, Mom said I could have my surprise. Before I could have it, she said I had to change clothes. She got one of my bathing suits and a special kind of diaper and put them on me. Then we went outside. My surprise was a pool!! Woo!!!

I got to go swimming today for the first time! I had so much fun splashing in the water!! Mom tried to get me to wear my sunglasses, but they aggravate me.

Then she tried to make me wear my floppy sun hat. Also aggravating...

...but kind of funny!

I really loved my pool. I played for a long time!! I'm so cool. :)

After my swim, I got dry and dressed again. I was worn out, so I had a snack and took a nap. After my nap, Grandmom and Granddad stopped by. I played and played for the rest of the day.

Mom has to go back to big work tomorrow. She says she only has to go 4 more times, though. I'll be glad when she's finished. Then we can have more days like today!!!

Where Did My Blog Go??

Hrm. I came to blog all about my day today and yesterday's blog was gone!! Where did it go?!? Perhaps it didn't post correctly. I guess I'll tell you all about it again. Sigh.

Yesterday was a great Saturday! Mom didn't have to make any cakes, so we got to have fun all day long! Mom and I got dressed kind of early and left on an adventure.

We went to Aunt Mere's and got Aunt Mere and Brenna. Then we went on a shopping adventure! We went to the store called Old Navy and the store called Super Target. I got some new bathing suits and a swim coverup. I don't really know what bathing suits are for. I don't wear anything when I take a bath....

I had fun shopping with Mom, Aunt Mere, and Brenna. When we came home, I played and played for the rest of the day! (I took a few naps, too.) Mom gave me this new ball to play with.

Saturday was a great day. Today was even better. Mom was kinda slack with the camera, though. Mom and I went to Grandmom and Granddad's for lunch. The big people ate and then I ate. I took a little nap. Then I played with Cookie Monster. He makes me laugh. :)

He sings and talks and plays the trumpet. :)

After I played for a while, Mom and I left. We came home for just a minute and then we left again to go to something called a "cookout". Hm. We went right down the street to Geri and Ashley's new house. I got to see lots of people. Jill, Chris, Geri, Ashley, Liz, Shelby, Grace, Carol, Ed (looks like the Santa Man!!), Tim, Carolyn, and Alice (Mom kept calling her "Beezer"). I had fun playing with everyone. Ashley was cooking food outside like I have seen Granddad do before. Apparently that's what "cookout" means. The big people ate. I played with a thing called a "cat". Her name is Spook. She was gray and fluffy and she let me touch her. She was very soft. Mom said that if she had a favorite cat, not being a cat person, it would be Spook because she acts like a dog. She didn't act like my dog. She didn't run away from me!! I had a really good time, but I got very tired, so Mom and I came home.

Now it's time for bed. No big work tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day called Memorial Day. I wonder what adventures we will have...

What Is Field Day??

I had to get up early this morning. Mom had to go to big work early because it was something called "Field Day". That made me wonder...what is Field Day??

I had to wonder all day long. It was a good day though. Grandmom took me by to see Granddad on the way to Mrs. Leigh Ann's. I played with my friends all day long. I stole Salleigh's ice cream. It was a good day.

This afternoon, Mom picked me up. "Field Day" was over. Mom is all red. Her arms are bright red and her nose is red. She looks funny. She said that she got burned by the sun at "Field Day". I finally made her tell me what that meant. She said it only meant that she had to play outside all day long with her children at school. Oh.

I was super tired when we got home, so I took a long nap. I've been playing since I woke up. I just had my dinner and now I'm ready for bed! Mom finished all of her cakes while I was napping, so we get to play tomorrow!!! Night night!!

Why Is It Not Friday?

Still not Friday. *Sigh* I think it's lost...

I had a pretty good day today. I didn't really want Mom to leave for big work, but she had to go. I went to Mrs. Leigh Ann's and played. Aunt Mere brought me to Grandmom and Granddad's this afternoon and Granddad brought me home. (Mom was making ANOTHER cake!)

Mrs. Tracey came to get her cake and Mom changed my clothes.

Then we all went to dinner together. The place was called Nishie G's. Mom really enjoyed her dinner. We sat outside and the wind was blowing my hair. I really liked that!

We had a really good time. Then we came home. I played for a little while and then had dinner and got ready for bed. Mom assures me that tomorrow is the day called Friday...

Have You Seen My Dog???

This morning I got ready for my day. Grandmom came to get me. She said we had to leave right away.

We took Sadie with us! I thought she was going to Mrs. Leigh Ann's with me, but she went to Grandmom and Granddad's house instead. Curious.

I had a great day today. I played with my friends and then I played and napped at Grandmom and Granddad's house this afternoon. Grandmom and Granddad took me to Aunt Mere's and Mom was there! All of the big people ate dinner. Aunt Mere shared something called "corn casserole" with me. It was fabulous!

After dinner, Mom and I came home. This is who was waiting for me:

Um. I got a new dog!!! Oh wait, she's wearing Sadie's collar. Hey, she IS Sadie!!!! Sadie got a haircut today!! I had to study her very carefully to believe it was really her. I finally knew it was her when she tried to eat my puffs. We're friends like that!

I like Sadie's new hairdo. I think she looks much happier and much cooler. It's getting very hot around here.

I'm glad I don't have a new dog.

I love the one I already have!

Little Country Girl

Guess what Anna's thinking about today?? Ya da da da!!!!

Is it her piggies??

Nooooooo.....

Anna's thinking about her great day!! :) Mom and I got up this morning and got ready for school. Check out my new overalls! Mom said I looked like a little country girl. She said I was awfully cute!!

I had a good day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. I waited for Mom at Grandmom and Granddad's. After she came, we went to Grandmom's school to a concert. Colin's chorus, the Do-Re-Mi Dolphins, was singing at their spring concert. I enjoyed the music! After the concert, Mom and I came home. I took a nap and she made some cakes. After that, I took a bath and ate dinner and got ready for bed. I'm heading that way now.

Mom says there are only 6 more days of big work!!!

Yee Haw!!!! :)

Last Monday!

Oh, hey!!!

Today was the last Monday of big work for the year. Yay! Mom is especially excited! Today was the last Monday for a while that we have to get up early and get ready. It was super hot today (over 90 degrees) so I got to wear a tank top and shorts. :) Comfy!

I had a good day today. I spent the day with Mrs. Leigh Ann. Grandmom got me and took me to her house after school. Mom came right after that and brought me home. Mrs. Anne came by to bring Mom some special wrappers for cupcakes, so I played with her. A nice man came to get a birthday cake. I played for a while and then I took a nap. Mom baked cakes while I slept. When I woke up, I played some more. Then I ate dinner and got ready for bed. It was a good Monday!

Tomorrow will be Mom's long day at big work and then she has cakes to decorate. It's ok, though. Summer's coming... :)

Whirlwind Weekend!

Wow! What a weekend!! It went by so fast!! Here's what was up:

Saturday. Oh, how I love Saturday! Mom and I got up early. I had a snack and Mom made a cake. Then we got ready for an adventure. Like my shirt? "Cupcakes are the new black". Mom says it's funny. :)

The adventure was a shopping adventure. Grandmom came and got us. We went to the place called Babies R Us. I got a new car seat! Mom said that soon I will be too big for mine and that I needed to get a new one. Hm. She also got some kind of gate. Something to keep me from going places that I might want to go. Double hm. We went to the place called Kohl's. I got the Llama Llama Red Pajama book and the Llama Llama Misses Mama book. Yay! After a few more quick stops, we headed home. I fell asleep. After my nap, I had lunch and then I left with Grandmom. Grandmom took me home with her because Mom was going with Jill and some other friends to see Mr. Glenn and his friends play their instruments and sing. Mom hadn't seen Jill in a long time and she very rarely goes anywhere without me (unless it's work), so I gave her permission to go. Besides, I got to play with Grandmom and Granddad!!!

Grandmom and I stopped at Aunt Mere's house on the way home. Brenna was sleeping, so I got to sneak some rides on her toys! The Dora toy...

And the giraffe! So much fun!! (Mom said she will get out my ride-on elephant soon.) :)

After my rides, we went to Grandmom and Granddad's house. I played, had a nap, played, ate my dinner and went to sleep. I got to spend the night with Grandmom and Granddad!! I couldn't blog last night because I don't know how Grandmom's computer works....

Saturday was a great day and I'm glad Mom got to have some fun with her friends! :)

Today was Sunday. Another busy day! Mom came to get me very early this morning! I was glad to see her!! She brought me home and I took a nap. After my nap, I got ready for the day.

It was very hot today, so I dressed for summer!

When I was ready, we left to go back to Grandmom and Granddad's for the solid food eaters' lunch. Mom tried to get me to wear my sunglasses, but I didn't really want to... (But look at my new pink sandals!!)

At Grandmom and Granddad's, I played with Brenna. She is my BFF. :)

She loves me. :) I love her, too!

I had a yummy lunch (turkey and rice and a little bit of ice cream). I took a very long nap (with Mom). I watched a neat movie called Guys and Dolls. When Mom and I came home, I took another little nap and then I played while Mom made a cake. I think she forgot what time it was. I had to remind her with "Mom Mom Mom (you have to get her attention), nom nom nom (that's how I tell her I'm hungry), nigh nigh nigh (that's how I tell her I'm getting sleepy)". She got the message. She got me ready for bed and got my dinner. Now that I've had my dinner, I'm ready for bed!!

It was a great weekend! Mom says that tomorrow is the last Monday of big work for the year! Woo hoo!!! (Annas do not like Mondays!)

Friday!!!!

FINALLY FRIDAY!!!!!!

Whoa, Anna! You don't have to yell!!

Do you ever have conversations with yourself??

Haha. Look at this silly face.

Focus, Anna. Okay. I had a great day today. Grandmom took me to Mrs. Leigh Ann's. I played with my friends and took a really long nap. Grandmom brought me home from Mrs. Leigh Ann's. I was glad to see Mom. I played and played and took another nap. Then I played some more. I'm really happy that it's Friday. Friday means the weekend!!

Check this out! Mom put legs on my big music toy. I can stand up and play with it now!!

I've had my dinner now and I'm thinking about going to bed. Mom says we're going on a little adventure tomorrow. :)

Ah, Jeudi

Bonjour, mes amis!!!

Je m'appelle Anna. See??

I am speaking French today because my shirt is very fancy. Apparently if you put l' in front of elephant, you make the elephant French. Got it??

Anyway, French or not, I had a pretty good day today. My only real problem is my bottom. I'm having some sort of issue with it. I don't like it. Mrs. Leigh Ann took extra good care of me today. I stayed with Grandmom and Granddad until Mom came. She had to go to Periwinkle to make a cake for Mrs. Patti. Then she came to get me. She brought me home and gave me a special bath and dinner. Now, since I stayed up til 1:30 last night, I'm going night night!!
