Fun Saturday!

We had another fun, full Saturday!  We started off at Grammie's house and of course, Mommy took a ton of pictures:

Morning

Mommy's Run/Y Break

(Sunrise.)

Library

Someone special came along on our adventure!

We stopped and Oliver got to practice

using a fire extinguisher!  

Oliver did an awesome job!  The Firefighters asked

him if he would like to come back to the fire house

and finish the shift with them!  Oliver gave them

the funniest look!

We love the library!  There is always so much for

us to learn there!

Mommy had to pick up a book that

was on hold.  Oliver helped Mommy

found her book...

J.K. Rowling's first novel written

for adults!  Mommy is excited to read it!

Oliver also got his last coupon for the

In-n-Out reading program!

Enjoying the doll house!

Rachel helping Mommy check out

our books!

Garden play!

Birthday Party

Danielle and James had their 5th and 3rd Birthday

Party together at Art Soup!

We got sidetracked at the light by the cow 

holding up a sign for free sandwiches at 

Chick-Fil-A!  They just opened!

(Mommy needs help cleaning her windshield.)

Birthday girl!

Painting a Beetle!

Birthday Boy!

Main Art Project!

Mommy helped Oliver a little bit.

Treasure map coloring!

Waiting for pizza!

Making Wishes!

Retrieving their little people!

Trying to get a group picture!

Danielle and Oliver!

We had an awesome time at the party!

Swim

We swam!

Oliver named his little guy, "Fade."

Fade watched us as we swam!

He even slid down the slide!

Dinner

He waited in the car for us.

As we ate dinner with Rachel, Aunt Ali, and Grammie!

Home

Oliver set up an "Animal Fair" when we got home.

Fade helped him collect the money for the animals

that Oliver sold.  

We had a really nice day!  We really look forward to the the time change tonight!  We are tired from our busy day, an extra hour of sleep would be nice!  (Timing is everything!)  Happy Saturday!

Book Fair

Oliver had a good day at school!  On Fridays he is usually pretty tired so we ate dinner, played a little, and tried to rest before the school book fair!  Oliver has been really set on going because of the cookie and hot chocolate!  Mommy loves Scholastic Book Fairs!  So we went...

Picking up Oliver at school!

He was so cute when she picked him up.

We went to see where the book fair was located.  Oliver

read "book" on the sign all by himself!

He was also wearing his pants backwards

today.  Cutie patooty!

We peeked in and then went home for awhile!

When we came back, Oliver was in his jammies.

It was wear your jammies night at the book fair!

Mommy liked some of the bookmarks!

We thought the joke book was neat, but Oliver

chose a nice Shark book instead.

We looked at the zombie pens in line too!

We both felt a little like zombies.

We had just waited in a long line for hot chocolate and cookies.

And then the volunteer PTA mom announced that

there was no more hot chocolate or cookies.  

Oliver got really, really sad. He put his head into

Mommy's arm and started to cry.  Mommy lead

him to a corner where she could hug him...

and then he got a huge bloody nose!  

Poor baby! 

So, after we got our books we went to Starbucks

for hot cocoa and a treat.

(Mommy felt like she owed it to Oliver.  He is a good sport!)

(Mommy's book.)

Reading his shark book.  He knew a lot about sharks

already flipping through the pages!  We will learn more!

Happy Friday!

November

Mommy wanted to share our calendars with you!  

Masha D'yans!

"I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to 

sail my ship."  -Louisa May Alcott

(Very appropriate.)  Since Mommy just read

a novel by Louisa and she is trying to collect

all of her books!

Happy November!
