I was such a happy, agreeable boy this morning.  That sure makes it easy for Mommy, Barbara, and Mimz to get me ready for school.  It was 38 degrees outside when it was time for Barbara to take me to school, so I chose to wear my big heavy coat and my beanie and my black gloves.  I now have three pairs of gloves in my school backpack.  They are stuffed in three different pockets.  Now I can always find them and have a choice of which ones I want to wear.

I took my lunch to school but didn't eat it.  We had our Thanksgiving Feast at school so I ate that instead of my lunch.

 I brought home a Pilgrim's vest,

a Pilgrim's hat,

 and an Indian's feathered headband, all things I made while learning about Thanksgiving at school.

As usual on the drive home from school, I asked if Uncle Brad was home since it was Tuesday and he often is off on Tuesdays.  The answer was that he was.  I was so very happy because that meant I probably would get to go on a bike ride with him.  But before we got home, we had to go to Randle's to get an ingredient for some recipe.  I wanted Barbara to drop me off at home before going to the grocery store, but she wouldn't.  She said GGM was busy taking care of Anna Kate and could not be outside to watch me, so I would just have to wait a few more minutes.

Brad was at home.  He was working in the yard, but he was ready to stop so we could go for a ride.  We had a plan: a ride in the neighborhood, come back to work in the yard some more, then a long ride to the park.  I was game for that.  I am so good at riding my new bike.  I know I have to mind Brad while on these rides for my own safety.  He is the adult and knows how to watch for cars and keep me safe.

I helped rake up tons of pine needles. 

When we finished, we were off for our long ride to the park.  I also get to play in the playground.  I wore my heavy coat, because it was medium cool.

Back home I rode my bike around my deadend street.  Grandma came over for about 15 minutes.  She held Anna Kate for a couple minutes, talked business with Barbara and GGF, then she had a few minutes to play baseball with me. 

I showed her how I can toss the ball in the air, swing the bat, and hit the ball.   After she left Barbara came out to play baseball with me.  We played a long time, until we started getting cold.  The sun was starting to go down and the temperature was dropping.

Anna Kate had a ten minute melt down.  We think she must have had a tummy ache.  Poor baby girl.  Hope that doesn't happen again.  I don't like to see her crying and probably hurting.  She can't tell us what is wrong, so we just had to guess.

Kristan came to get her baby and I told her about my day: Thanksgiving Feast, two bike rides, working in the yard, playing baseball, and listening to Anna Kate cry so very hard and our not knowing how to make her feel better.   Kristan was interested in all the things I talked about.

While we waited for Mommy to come get me, we played basketball.  GGM sat in her computer chair and I tried to shoot the ball over her head and behind her chair to score.  She just had to get the ball to hit the opposite wall to score.  I think the final score was 9 to 2, my favor.

Oh, I had a stack of four games, to take home, so Mommy, Daddy, and I could play them.  I will have to show them how to play.
