I enjoyed school and TOT (basketball).  I brought home some more Valentines cards and gifts from my school friends.  I ate some of the candy.  Barbara forgot to bring me a drink when she picked me up, so I had to be thirsty for 20 minutes until we got home.  She would not stop to buy me a drink at a fast food place.


GGF, Barbara, and I counted 135 American flags on the 23 minute drive from school to Barbara's home.  Some of them are flying every day, but many of them were flying because of Presidents Day on Monday.  

We spent thirty minutes trying to put together a Thomas Train track and Barbara finally threw up her hands and said she gave up.  So I hope someone else will spend the time and have better luck.   We don't have written instructions or a picture of what it should look like.

This would have been a red letter day except for one attitude problem and I ended up in Time Out, which I really don't like.  Mainly I get in trouble for being disagreeable and talking back for no good reason.  After Time Out Barbara watches me like a hawk, ready to put me in Time Out again.  GGM and GGF try to talk to me, but Barbara says she has tried that and Time Out gets my attention much more efficiently.

We played outside several times today, using my wheelbarrow to pick sweet gum balls that fall every day.  The trees are still full of those balls!  GGF got down the rain gauge so I could empty it. 

We played Keep Away and had an Orange Peel fight.  We put out fires using the big blue and white rope.  It was a full day of play until my daddy picked me up around 7pm.  We saved our orange peels so we could throw them at Daddy when he got here.  He laughed when he got hit with several pieces of orange peel.

I should sleep well tonight.  I never slowed down all day.
