SNOWPOCALYPSE

My little Portland suburb covered in snow. Ain’t it pretty?

BUT I HAD PLACES TO GO! It was about to be my birthday and I was scheduled to get on an airplane (an airplane!!!) to see Nana and Papa!

Long story short: the roads were insane, we abandoned our car, waited for an Uber driver with chains on his tires, sat in a standstill on the freeway for an eternity, just missed our flight, and finally booked ourselves on a flight scheduled to leave 4 hours later which was delayed an additional 2 1/2 hours. So there was a lot of waiting. (And, by the way, I was the awesomest kid ever and Mommy and Daddy thanked their lucky stars that I am an airplane and airport fanatic and determined to make this trip happen.)

We finally took off at 11:20pm and I got to celebrate the stroke of midnight of my birthday, quite fittingly, on Alaska Airlines. Then I finally fell asleep. And thanks to Nana and Papa for picking us up at 1:10am and then hanging out with me when I asked for “dinner” at 2am.

GRANDPA THE HANDYMAN

Grandpa is here visiting and he loves airplanes just like me! I spent the morning showing him my whole fleet of planes. For most of the day, he and Daddy went through the house and fixed a bunch of stuff, so I went to the playground with Mommy. Then in the evening, Daddy and I started building a model airplane that Grandpa brought from New York. I’m the gluer!

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

I started my post-Halloween morning off right with a breakfast of M&M’s and “white coffee” (aka milk).

Then we learned about the Day of the Dead at school, where I painted my face and made a cool mask. The young lady pictured with me (other than Mommy!) is my classmate, Eliwen.

Nana and Papa revisited us on their way home from seeing Kenji and honored their promise to take me to Bricks and Minifigs again! I got a plaaaaaaaaaaane!

HALLOWEEN 2016

Halloween! I loooooove it!

I started off the day with a Halloween party at my school. We had a costume parade outside (I was a fighter pilot!) and then we decorated pumpkins and cookies.

Then I went trick-or-treating with Daddy and people gave me candy! When I got home, I counted me haul (40 candies!) and I sampled some Skittles, Junior Mints, bubble gum, a lollipop, and my trusty ol’ Snickers. What a day!
