Mommy woke me up before she left for work, but I was not ready to get up.  Barbara sat in the living room waiting for me to wake up, which I finally did around 8:30a.  We talked about the Rockette's and how much I enjoyed the show and how I can kick high also. We ate Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal before driving over to Barbara's home.

We put together my Polar Express Train on the big upstairs rug.  We didn't have 6 C batteries so we were not able to run the train, but we have decided it is really for display around a Christmas tree and is not a toy for me to play with.  I am too rough for it to stay on the track and for the track to stay together.  We can put it around our Christmas tree next year.

I helped GGM mop the wood floors downstairs.  Barbara wanted to take my picture doing this work but I was not agreeable.  Not letting her take pictures does not make her a happy camper.  She thinks she does a lot for me and since that is about the only thing she asks of me, she thinks I should be willing to let her take my picture.

We worked the giant Fire Truck puzzle, twice.  I didn't want my picture taken with it, but I decided I better let Barbara take a picture or she might not play with me.  

We played on Barbara's bed.  We were buried under rocks (pillows) and fireman had to come rescue us.  We have played this game at least a hundred times.  I never get tired of it.  I like acting.   Then I was a kid who had been bitten by a rattlesnake.  (All pretend.)  My dad had to take me to the hospital where a doctor took care of me.  I had to lay in bed and watch Handy Mandy or listen to a story book.  I let Barbara read eight pages of The Rabbit Ate My Homework.  She loves to read to me.

I gobbled down some pork ribs for lunch. They were so good, Barbara and I drove to Kroger's to buy two more packages.   Just our luck they were sold out, but they will get more in tonight and we can go back in the morning to buy them.   We will get to stop by the bakery to get another sugar cookie for me.

GGF and I watched Gunsmoke, while GGM cleaned algae out of the rain gauge and Barbara laid down to take a short nap....a very short nap. There were five inches of rain in the rain gauge, which fell in two days.

 We played Kerplunk two times.  I wanted to play again, but Barbara said enough for today.
We watched an episode of Chips while we waited for the first football game of the day to start.

We ate Pringles (that Mimz and I gave Barbara for Christmas) for our football snack.  Oh, brother, this was a horrible day for OU and Texas football.   The only person happy around here was GGM.  She had lived in Arkansas for 28 years so she is still an Arkansas fan.  Oh, well, I guess we will just have to wait for next year and hope our teams do better next year.

I was loud, full of energy, and wanted Barbara and GGM's attention all day, but I was happy and well behaved.

Daddy and I were over at Craig and Big Mason's home to watch the game.  Big Mason and I played more than we watched the game.  It was 10:30pm before I got home and went to bed. 

Mimz and Aunt Kathy drove to a small town near Dallas to have an enjoyable day visiting with Uncle Don.
