Happy 26th birthday, Bridget!

After school and TOT basketball, we drove home to find Tom's Tree Service had started removing two dead trees from our yards.  The tree in the front yard was down before we arrived home and we were home maybe two minutes before the second tree fell. I didn't want to go outside when they were using the very loud chopper machine to cut up the trees.  They made very fast work on that job.  Tom, is Grandma's very good friend Marty's husband.  Hi Marty! (Marty reads my blog.)

 There was a rope attached to the tree and a guy with a chain saw cut into the trunk of the tree.

The tree was falling.

 One second later, it was on the ground.

So far we have found some "water" chore that requires me to wear my boots every day since PaPa and Grandma bought me my new boots.

Today the chore was washing Barbara's "badly in need of a wash" car.  I sure like wearing my new boots, but only when working with water.  I can't run very well in them.

I didn't get soaked but I did get wet so I took off my wet clothes, and before I got dressed I wanted to play in Car Town for a bit.

I was showing GGM how I could reach from the bookcase to Car Town (formerly the pool table).

Popsicle tongue.  Remember I had to have an operation to release my tongue from the bottom of my mouth.  Look how far I can stick my tongue out of my mouth!

We have not taken Marbleworks apart in a long time because Bridget built a super set-up with a "jump."

 We were playing baseball.  I don't know what possessed me...

... but like I often do I fell down pretending to be hurt.

It was time for Daddy to arrive, so we went outside to wait for him.  We checked on our tomato plant... no tomatoes yet.  I learned I will see tiny yellow flowers before I see any tomatoes.

Mommy won four tickets to the rodeo so she and three of her co-workers went tonight.  Daddy and I went over to Mimz for dinner.  At first I said I wasn't hungry because I had eaten at Barbara's, so I started to play.  It wasn't long before I was ready to eat again and I joined Mimz and Daddy at the table.

Since it was already after 8 when Daddy and I were ready to leave, it was decided that I would spend the night at Mimz, since Mommy would be late getting home from the rodeo and she would be bringing me to Mimz in the morning before school.  We had some good play time.  I was asleep a little after 9pm.
