I was enjoying sleeping late, but I finally got up at 8:30am.  While I ate breakfast Barbara and I talked about the two things she wanted me to help her with: prepare some Sausage Rice Pilaf and start clearning out clutter in my room.  I said I would help but first I wanted to just hang out in bed playing Rider on my phone.

GGM measured the ingredients for Sausage Rice Pilaf, Barbara chopped up vegetables and sauteed them, and I added all of the ingredients to the casserole dish.  This dish had to cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes.  GGM taught me that many hands make light work.

While lunch cooked, we started going through things in my room to declutter it.  I didn't want to part with my favorite books from my younger years, but I did find several books to give to Anna Kate and Bradley.  We also filled a box with boy toys for Bradley.  I did have one dump truck that I want to keep for myself.  And we did "play school" for a few minutes a couple of times.  I had to unscramble words to put them into sentences.  And I recited all of the US states outloud in alphebetical order. 

Barbara took me to meet Mimz around 1:30pm.   Mimz and I went to her neighborhood pool.  When we first arrived it was raining so we had a 30 minute waiting period to make sure there was not any lightening happening.   First thing I wanted to do in the pool was sim laps of free style and breast stroke.  Then I climbed the rock wall.   I talked with a couple of girls and we all agreed to practice diving in the deep end.

Mimz and I met Barbara at Sprouts around 5:10pm.  Mommy got home just a few minutes after we got home.  Mommy and I played catch with a hardball.  Mommy is pretty good at jumping or reaching to catch my throws.  She threw me lots of pop-ups and I am good at catching them.  That was fun.  More fun than batting the wiffle balls Barbara throws to me.  She is afraid of hardballs.

Here are pictures of me playing catch:

Here I am acting cool.   Mommy took me to my baseball practice.  I hit one long ball to center field and I ended up making a homerun even though my team is pretty good at throwing and catching.

I probably fell asleep looking forward to my double hitter games on Thursday.  I was asleep by 9:20pm.
