Book Report

After returning from the library, I asked my daddio to read a new Richard Scarry book to me.  He, instead, asked that I read it to him. 

 

 

 

Three, Trois, Tres, Catorce!

Yes, I be three.   And my house is 125 years old and it can't handle my crew.  So, we rented out the Toy Library.  It was an awesome venue for many reasons, not the least of which is that it's not 15 feet wide, like my house. And it has trampolines.  (I don't what's up with the sideways pics but they just. won't. turn. around.)

Tis the Season

Okay, let's not kid ourselves.  I'm entirely too busy to report on my daily activities.  This bloggy-thing is turning out to be a seasonal activity, it seems.  To be fair, we lost our camera for some time.  And by 'we' I mean 'Dad.'  Fortunately, we found it under the dining room sideboard.  And by 'we' I mean 'I.'  Nevertheless, we breezed through the most festive time of the year with a rather inadequate collection of photos.  But here's how it basically went down.

Aunt Alexis helped Ellie and me make cake balls.  Whatever.

 
Then I went to Phipps with my folks and Pap Pap.  We lost the camera later that day...  Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said, "Donuts."

 

 

Oh, I didn't see you come in?!

And now, my birthday...  Actually, this was too epic and needs its own post.  Here's a preview:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also in the News

Well, there was my birthday.  Then Christmas.  New Years, of course.  MLK Jr. Day.   Nana's birthday happened.  Uncle Kelly had a birthday, too.  Groundhog Day.  Groundhog Day....

Sagenvrabelman's Halloween!

 Halloween night was team effort.  I designed the silly catman pumpkin for Dad to carve.  I scooped out the seeds for Mom to roast.  Pap pap came by and improvised a Bagel Man costume.  My costume idea for Jas was a 'Ghost Golfer', so he spent the night wandering around as someone called Pain Stewart.  Okay, whatever.  I dressed as Minnie Mouse and Mama was, of course, Mama Mouse.  We wrapped up our  damp and spooky night of Trick-or-Teating at my friend Harvey's house.

Wake up, Dadda, it's snowin'!

 

Triple B's

We just love our weekend trips out to Triple B's, especially when I get to ride horses.  How does this sound, "Dad, can I have a pony?"

 

 

My first horsey ride!

 

 

 

 

 

Great Racers

I was born to run!  Look for me in my first race - The City of Pittsburgh Junior Great Race.  My unofficial time in the One Mile Fun Run was 14 minutes and 45 seconds. 

Getting ready to head out for the Old Man's Great Race. 

Ole' Jas suffered an injury in his race, but it was worth it because I got a Smiley Face cookie.

Me on donuts.

"What? No, I didn't eat your donut."

Ellie and Aunt Alexis studying our house pet, the hermit crab.

Not sure what the objective of this game was but I think Ellie was winning.

Our Week at Cape Chuck

Our House

Where the sun don't shine.

Showing off my Pittsburgh tan.

 

Ellie's vacation beard.

Not sure why it looks like Ellie and Aunt Alexis are behind glass.

Ellie gets her nails done, which will get undone the following day.

The sun sets in the west.  And over the water.  You figure it out.
