INDEPENDENCE DAY 2017

It was America’s birthday! To celebrate, we hit the beach again – but this time, the one that’s only 10 minutes away on the Willamette River.

Chubs liked this one a lot more because it was actually warm and sunny.

It was time to get down to the business of building a LEGO river boat.

Will it float???

YES!!!

Even Chubs was excited!

On the walk back to the car, I found a big stick!

USA! USA! USA! Land of big sticks!

SKYROCOPTER

Over the weekend, we went out into the 99 degree heat to fly the Skyrocopter that Grandpa got me a while back. It was so hot, we were the only weirdos outside. But when you gotta fly, you gotta fly!

DADDY’S BIRTHDAY

Nana and Papa are in town to celebrate the Daddy/Auntie Lisa/Mommy birthday extravaganza. Soooo…of course…I convinced them to take me to Bricks and Minifigs.

Then my excitement about being in my favorite store on earth switched to the disappointment in knowing I couldn’t take every set home with me.

But then I got the fire helicopter and all was good in the world again. Thanks, Nana and Papa!

In honor of the birthday boy – Daddy! – we went out to eat at a sushi restaurant.

All restaurants should have conveyer belts that bring food past your table.

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.
