Future Groundskeeper

I think I've found my calling in life. I shall become a landscaping maintenance engineer.

What a rockin' weekend it was. We had a fun time all around. On Saturday, Debbie and Ryan came and we went downtown for pizza and games. We went to an arcade and I had fun with the kiddie games and got to take home a teeny-tiny little pleisosaurus with my 30 tickets I collected. Saturday was also the day that Nana gave me my battery-operated contraption of fun. It took me awhile to get the hang of it, but by then end of the weekend, I was tooling around pretty well. It may not be CAT, but hey, nothing runs like a Deere, right? And, quite frankly, John Deere Green is much more appealing than Caterpillar Yellow.

Sunday was my party, or should I say, par-tay? It was loads of fun. The cake was pretty decent considering mom slacked and bought a WalMart cake. The food was tasty too and we'll be munching on leftovers all week. I was so happy Grandma and Grandpa D made it, considering they just got back from China Friday night and were a little tired. When asked my favorite part, of course I said the presents. Mom has been coaching me all week about the importance of having friends and family that love me being the highlight of my birthday, but we all know that a 4 year old can't help but go a little gaga over gifts. I got my first Barbie (thx Uncle D and Amy), tons of clothes (thx Aunt Debbie and others), bath toys, games, bubbles, books upon books, a rocking chair and craft things. My favorite book from the day was called Skippyjon Jones. I highly recommend it. I think mom has more fun reading it that I do!

Today was my friend party. It really went well considering 8 kids were each decorating their own cakes. We had some crazy dinosaur concoctions and a good portion of the frosting was skipping the cake and going straight from spreader-to-mouth. Most of the cakes were 3 parts frosting/sprinkles and 1 part cake. We played outside and burned off some energy. My pals were kind enough to bring some gifts as well. Every thing was dino-related, imagine that! I was ecstatic and grateful. Later this week, we're going to go through my toy room and find some things to donate. It is a little excessive around here lately!

Better go brush my teeth. I have a dentist appt tomorrow at 10, oy! On Wednesday (my real birthday), Nana will be back & Dad is taking off work. Mom is sure building up my gift. I think I may have overheard the word "rodent" a few times...hmm....should be interesting.

Later and thanks to all who helped me celebrate my birthday and make it special. I love you all loads!
