Dandy & Elizabeth

Each week one of the students in Elizabeth's preschool gets to bring home Dandy Dog for the weekend. This weekend was Elizabeth's turn. Dandy keeps a journal of the things he does each weekend with the kids and this is his journal entry for this weekend.

I got to spend the weekend with a wonderful blond haired, blue eyed girl, Elizabeth! I had so much fun starting the first night. Instead of going to bed on time, Elizabeth’s mom took us to hear the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra at Broadway Under the Stars. We got to sit in a really neat chair and listen to the music while Elizabeth’s mom kept running after Elizabeth’s twin sisters. I had such a great time I didn’t want to leave!

Friday morning I got to go to the library for story time! There was singing and dancing and I got to do the hokey pokey! Elizabeth and I sat really still and listened while the librarian read two stories about frogs. Next I got to help Elizabeth make a frog puppet out of a paper bag! It was great.

After we left the library I got to go to the park. I was tired so Elizabeth pushed me around in the stroller. I felt like a king! It was really hard not to bark at all the ducks and geese that Elizabeth and her sisters were feeding. I couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t let me chase them! But that was ok because I found something even more fun than chasing ducks. Elizabeth pushed me on the swing! I went so high I felt like I could see forever! I loved swinging, except when one of Elizabeth’s sisters walked in front of the swing and I knocked her down. I gave her a big hug and then she was all better


Saturday we had lots of fun. When we first got up we got to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons while Elizabeth’s Mommy made us breakfast. After we ate we spent the day playing Hide-and-Seek, dress up, building really high towers out of blocks (Elizabeth’s sisters kept knocking them down), and watching a movie. The movie we watched had a little curly haired girl in it named Shirley Temple. Elizabeth really enjoys watching her movies. Elizabeth also took this great picture of me sitting in her Dora Chair! Then right before we went to bed a really neat thing happened. Everyone got really excited because Elizabeth’s Daddy came home from work! He is a pilot and flies airplanes so he is gone several days a week. All the girls gave him lots of hugs, and I even got a hug too!



Sunday morning we got up and everyone got dressed in really nice clothes. Elizabeth’s Daddy wore a suit and all the girls wore pretty dresses. We all got in the car and drove to church. I had a really good time learning about Jesus and how to be a good example. Then after church we went home and ate and the whole family played some fun games together. Elizabeth really likes having her Daddy home!


Every night before bed Elizabeth changed me into my Pajamas. Then we read a couple stories, read from the scriptures, said prayers and got lots of hugs and kisses.

I had a great time spending the weekend with Elizabeth and her family. I can’t wait to see who I get to spend next weekend with!!

Our Trip to the Fair

Image
The Alabama National Fair was in town this week so we decided to take the kids (although I think we had just as much fun as they did!) One of the first things we did was go to the circus. When we got inside the big tent we found some friends of ours (their little girl is Elizabeth's best friend) so we hung out with them most of the time we were there. Our seats were right in the front and I was amazed at how close the elephants came to us. There were also jugglers, clowns, and some performing horses. It was a lot of fun. We also got to watch the sea lions do their tricks. They balanced a ball on their nose, shot some hoops, danced for us, and even caught and threw Frisbees ! The girls were amazed by them; Joseph missed it all since he fell asleep in his stroller right before it started. There wasn't enough room on the bleachers for all of the girls, so Sarah got the best seat in the house. Right on top of her daddy's shoulders! Our fair fish from last year just died la...

Twins in Trouble

Image
The twins were supposed to be in their beds in their room watching a movie for quiet time while Joseph was taking a nap today. I heard them in the kitchen and asked them why they were out of their room. They instantly started saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" so naturally I went to see what they were so sorry about. When I saw them I put them in the tub right away and asked them what happened . . . They some how managed to get into Elizabeth's ink and stamp set and decided to decorate themselves and their bedroom. You can tell by the look on Sarah's face she knows she is in trouble. And Emily doesn't seem any happier. They colored their beds Elizabeth's Bed And the rug on their floor. After their bath they spent the next two hours scrubbing everything they touched in the kitchen, their ink footprints off the floor, and the rug in their room. They were not happy with the manual labor, but were smart enough not to complain. I'm hoping th...
