I AM 8!

For my birthday, I skipped school and went to Bricks and Minifigs! I had fun building minifigs from the bulk legs, torsos, and heads. And all of their hand sanitizers were in giant Lego bricks!

Then on Daddy’s lunch break, I opened presents!

I experimented with my new dip pen and ink.

And did some of the custom word searches. Thanks to everyone for the gifts. It was a fun pandemic birthday!

PORTLAND DAY

I’ve been trapped at home for so long, I really wanted to go to Portland and have a big day.

First, I wanted to go to Forest Park and hike to the Witch’s Castle.

After walking for almost a mile, we found it!

Then we had to walk back up to go to our next stop.

We ordered some food from Burgerville and went to Peninsula Park to have our lunch.

This is usually a big rose garden so it looked kind of weird to have a field of dead roses. But I liked running around the edge of it.

It was a fun day! We even ended it by picking up some donuts! (I got chocolate frosted.)

SICK FINLEY

Finley started feeling really bad and it turned out he had urinary crystals that nearly blocked his urethra. So he had to spend a lot of time at the vet getting fluids and having tests done. Good thing the vet techs there are so nice! Brenda gave him lots of cuddles and sent us a picture.

Now he’s healthy again and enjoying his favorite spot – the window perch. He even found a bug on the other side of the window that he was very interested in.

Sunnie missed her brother and was happy to have him back.

I missed him, too! I’m glad he’s feeling well again.

HALLOWEEN 2020

We celebrated a socially distanced Halloween this year!

First, we carved pumpkins and Sunnie was very curious about this ritual.

We also made a sign for our candy table.

I dressed up as an orange tabby, like Sunnie! Meow!

We didn’t knock on doors this year, but our town did a lot of candy tables, bowls, and chutes.

How awesome is this black cat pumpkin someone painted?

Despite the unusual Halloween, I still brought in a big candy haul! My favorites were Sour Patch Kids and Kit Kats.
