First Snow!

Yippeee!

Birthday Girl!

On Tuesday I turned 6! Can you believe it? I sure can't!

My party lasted until 2:00 am so I practically slept through the next day. 

Today I'm laying low- I'm worried the girls will cook leftover salad for me again. 

There's leftover hummus, pineapple, orange juice, and buffalo chicken pizza. I don't want to see what kind of concoction they will come up with!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween- the holiday that everyone loves!

Sometimes I think we go a little crazy with our costumes!

I'm a mad scientist!

Walter

Recently Polly came home with a new friend.

His name is Walter.

Just like Polly, he is from the colonial times. But he was a loyalist.

Eventually he switched sides and became a patriot.

Now they are great friends!

Camping!

Camping. Camping. Say it over and over. 

Let your tongue get used to it, like you let your feet get used to a new pair of shoes.

Camping. Camping. 

It sounds woodsy. Outdoorsy. Basically, it sounds fun. 

But it dosen't sound 

like a celebrity could do it.

HA! 

I'm a celebrity!

I did it! 

And loved it!

Camping, Camping.

It's great!

Washington & Williamsburg

Hello everyone!

I just got back from the best trip ever!

First I flew in to Baltimore, then drove down to Washington DC.

 I stayed there for four nights, then went to Williamsburg and spent the rest of the week there.

It was great!

Isn't the sky enchanting?

Yum!

 Planes sure know how to please Chihuahuas 

like me with their tiny foods!

Guess where I am!

Breakfast is the best meal of the day!

(and the most important)

At the botanical garden!

Dorothy's ruby slippers! Amazing, right?

On my way to Williamsburg, I stopped at George Washington's Mount Vernon.

It was fabulous!

 Williamsburg!

Trying on hats!

always glad

to come home.

Notice that?

The Harvard Museum of Natural History

Here I am with my favorite mineral!

More rocks!

Aren't conch shells pretty?

 That's how small I am!

The horse family tree. See how they evolved?

Here I am with the Mesohippus, the second earliest on the tree.

Happy 4th of July!

I had a great day!!

First I went to a parade!

Then I went to a big party! There was food, a big pool, s'mores,

 a horseshoe throwing tournament...

The 4th of July is my favorite day of the year!

Fenway!

I went to Fenway Park!

It was really fun...

even though it rained.

I still loved it!

Outdoors!

The heat has gotten my family outdoors- hope you enjoy these pictures!

Careful Jamie!

Who says kids get all the fun?

Flowers are more Willow's speed!

Work in Progress

I've been working on Polly's house. 

She's from colonial times, as you can probably tell.

(please excuse the mess!)

Taco, My New Friend

I made a new friend yesterday! (Two, if you count Taco's uncle Stan)

We had lots of fun together!

Look at my new rainbow collar!

State House

 I visited the Rhode Island State House!

Under the dome!

Me with a painting of George Washington from 1802.

 His eyes follow you around the room! 

And my favorite- the library! Some of the books date back to the 1750s!

Rock Climbing!

Yesterday I went rock climbing with the girls.

(Willow didn't do it, but Jamie went halfway up)

I made it to the top!

Lily

Meet Lily. 

This gorgeous collie is sweeter than sugar. 

She is the foster mother of Pawprint and my friend.

PAWPRINT

Pawprint is best friends with Jamie
(my daughter/tom boy) and they love playing basketball together.
 (even though Paws here prefers soccer)

What Walks on 4 Legs, Then 2 Legs, Then 3 Legs?

A human! See, that's why you guys are so confusing! Dogs are a whole lot simpler!

 We walk on 4 legs on day 1, same as on the last day! Calling all animals! Don't you agree?

Mud, Snickers, and Truffles

No, these teens aren't what you'd expect from their names-they're dogs!

 (left to right: Mud, Truffles, Snickers)

MUD

Mud (dachshund) loves music (rock) and, if you ask me, is too playful for his age.
If I ask him to puppysit, when I come back the children are practically watching him!

TRUFFLES

Truffles, the smooth fox terrier, is an inventor. 

He makes neat stuff out of junk! By the way...he takes orders...

SNICKERS

All you need to know is that this royal corgi is a close relative of the queen's pets!

Meet the Huskies

I thought you'd like to know about some canines that live in my house. Well, here they are!

Rosa

This is Rosa. She works hard to keep her son, Douglas, under control.
Rosa is around my age and we enjoy tea together.

Douglas

Douglas is the troublemaker of the pack.

Douglas and my nephew, Oliver, (i'll tell you about him later) love going 

around pulling practical jokes.

Polly

This is Polly. She is in old English sheepdog. Polly remembers the Mayflower and the Revolutionary war.

Almost Easter!

The one in the middle is my favorite-it's me!

Color!

Mini Blizzard!

The snowstorm hit us most! We were the bullseye!

In my fort!
