SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!

Yesterday was my last day of schooooool!

I got this cool diploma, even though I’m not totally done with preschool yet. I have one more year to go.

While the other kids went outside for donuts, I had the whole classroom to myself!

We all got a bucket full of cool stuff when we left. Eliwen and I hung out for a while eating our new Ring Pops.

Thank you, Ms. Tami, Ms. Chelle, Ms. Ann, and Ms. Cathy! See you in the fall!

RADIO MONSTER

I’ve been working on being more okay with music. I really don’t like it. But after school, I’ve been forcing myself to listen to it a little bit in the car. Maybe I’ll understand the hype one day.

I’m happiest when my self-imposed torture has ended.

BEING BABYSAT

Mommy and Daddy…went out to dinner by themselves.

Miss Christine, her husband Tom, and two sons, Reid and Eric, played with me at their house.

I’m still absorbing the idea that Mommy and Daddy would do something without me, but…Miss Christine had Legos! And her family is really nice.

REED LAKE

For Mother’s Day, we all went on a hike around Reed Lake, which is on the Reed College campus. I hiked the whole thing, over a mile long!

Here’s the bookmark I gave Mommy for Mother’s Day. She loved it!

PLUMBING SUPPLY

Hallelujah, we have a working kitchen faucet again!

It only took 5 days, several trips to the hardware store, and Nick – the guy who was intimately familiar with our super weird plumbing (he used to live in our townhouse complex!) and told us what we needed to do to get around it. George Morlan Plumbing Supply FTW!

I think I’d make a good bathtub model, don’t you?

Talking about pipes and fittings is boring.

ELIWEN IV

I had another play date with Eliwen yesterday. As usual, we started off at the Singer Hill Cafe.

Then we went to the Oregon City Public Library, where I did some more flower hunting.

Next, I had to go check out my latest work from last weekend’s LEGOLab. (I go every Saturday with Daddy now.)

Then we played on the computers. I had my own computer, but I wanted to check out what she was watching (a video that had girls with butterfly wings or something??)

Then it was off to play with the second greatest building toy (after LEGO, of course)… Magna-Tiles! I built an airport terminal, as I always do.

Then we went off on our separate ways. I always stay for a really long time. I like the peace and quiet. And once Mommy drags me out of the house, it’s hard to drag me back in.
