Peace, Love & My Sandbox

It has become a tradition that every morning after breakfast Mommy and I go and sit out on the back porch. Normally Mommy and I explore the backyard or Mommy watches as I terrorize the puppies. I've discovered all sorts of interesting things in the backyard - from dog poop to a football as well as the dogs water bowl and a plethra of dirt. The other day as Mommy and I were waiting for Hurricane Ike to decide his path, I stumbled upon a new discovery! Hidden beneath the green turtle which I normally climb on top of was SAND! This is incredible new because now not only can I climb over the turtle but I can lift his shell and climb inside to play with the sand! I highly suggest that if you don't have a sandbox you get on because its super fun to play in... just look at the pics!

" Look what I found Mommy!"

Building sand castles :)

"The sand slides through my hands much easier than the potting soil."

Throwing the sand at Mommy so she can share in my new discovery.

Doing the "I'm having fun in the sandbox" Dance!

Aside from the discovery of my sandbox I also started Kindermusik class this week before Hurricane Ike rolled in. Kindermusik was different and it was fun to have some special time for just me and my Daddy. We got to dance around and act silly plus it was fun to get to play with some kids my own age.

The last thing that I did this week was celebrate the 7th Anniversary of September 11th. I'm not entirely sure what happened on that date since I wasn't born yet but Mommy and Daddy explained that every September 11th we celebrate Patriots Day to honor those men and women who protect us - both overseas and within the United States. College Station had to downsize their event due to Hurricane Ike but we still took a moment to remember those in the Military as well as Police & Fire Service who had lost their lives while protecting ours. Although I didn't listen to all of the speeches I did get the chance to thank all of the fire fighters who work beside my Daddy everyday. It was fun to sit and eat dinner with them, especially since they let mouch off of their plates! Plus I had a great time running all over the playground with the other children. Sorry but Mommy didn't take any pictures at our Patriots Day celebration, maybe next year.

Peace, love & my sandbox,
