I was happy when Barbara arrived, eating breakfast, and brushing my teeth, but when it was time for me to get dressed, I was disagreeable.  I wasn't going to wear anything that was offered to me.  In the end I wore a short sleeved shirt (It was 45 degrees outside) and kept insisting that I was not going to wear my jacket to during recess.  When I was dressed, I turned back into sweet Mason.

Oh, I also didn't do well at letting Mommy put in my eye drops.  Last night they went in easily, but today, I was fighting, saying it burned, and in general was not being agreeable.  They think it was because Barbara was there and I had an audience, I was acting that way. 

On the drive to school, I said, "There is a police car.  It is not a sheriff, it is a constable."  It did say constable on the side of the car.  Barbara asked me how I knew this.  I said, "You told me that a long time ago."  How I remember things like that, really astonishes my adults. 

While in Walmart, Barbara said she thought a man was a fireman, (she thought this because his hat said Houston Fire.)  I couldn't see his hat, but I looked at him, and said, "He is.  I recognize his shoes."  Barbara thought, "Oh my.  I had never looked at a fireman's shoes.  That boy is something else." 

At Walmart we bought the ingredients for a Pay Day candy bar dessert and some spicy sausage.
I was going to help make the dessert.

Anna Kate was so happy to see me.  We think she knows I am little, like her.

Not enough room for us both!

I unwrapped the caramels, helped measured the Rice Chex cereal and the peanuts for the dessert.  When we got to taste it, we decided it was just so-so.  

We prefer eating plain caramels and plain peanuts.  The recipe was not a keeper.

We did play a little dodge ball, in the big TV room.  Anna Kate was in the room, but it is a big room and  GGM was protecting Anna Kate and we played on the other side of the room so Baby Girl was perfectly safe.

I played in Car Town by myself for a long time.  It gives Barbara and GGM a break, but oh what a mess I make.  I like to pretend a tornado has come through the town.

Barbara and I played in my kitchen.  We bought a few new pieces of food, so we can make a grilled cheese sandwich, a great hamburger with all the trimmings, pizza, and an ice cream cone.  GGM and Anna Kate came in to eat the food.  Oh, a funny thing:  I like to pretend to trip when I was bringing the food to GGM.  I am very good at falling without hurting myself.  I thought this was hilarious.  Barbara fired me after I did this several times.  She had to explain what being fired meant.

 I was the teacher reading about our Earth and showing the globe to the students, Anna Kate and GGM.

Anna Kate is teething.  She chews on her fingers.

I noticed Mr Brad was in his garage, and I ran like lightening down the stairs and outside, just to find out he was on his way to a doctor's appointment and would not be back until after I was gone.  Bummer.
