You know what, I'm thinking Fall might be my favorite season. The air is perfect for trips to the park, the rain hasn't started falling yet, and did I mention that I'm a Kindergartener now!!! I'm rocking it by the way.
We're still finding time to do some cool stuff on the weekend. A few weeks ago we went to Hood River to try out the Fruit Loop. I didn't see Toucan Sam anywhere though. We did see some gorgeous views though.
Here is a shot of ME, and some flowers
Here's a shot of the gorgeous Hodge women. If you really care you can see that tiny Mountain Hood in the background, but how can you look past our cuteness?
We managed quite the hall. Boxes filled with apples and pears. We got some cookies from one of the Orchard bakeries. We got some dinner at pFriem which dad says has good beer, but yuck!
Clara and I have been helping dad at work a few days here and there when mom has meetings. It's a tough job and always wears us out. We try to catch a few Z's on the bus ride home though.
On the home front, we have encouraging signs! For starters we have a door we can use without a drill!
There is drywall everywhere! From what I can tell this is mom and dad's bathroom.
We're going to have a new waterproof second floor balcony. Apparently dad really was risking his life hanging Christmas lights last year. Glad he made it before it came crashing down.
Our hutch in the dining room is being rebuilt. I hope they remember where all the pieces go. If not I can probably help, I'm a rockstar at puzzles.
Mom and I are inspecting the new Kitchen eat in area, with a new privy hall and bathroom to the left. The sink is going under that window on the right. Mom and dad are having a heck of a timing picking out cabinet and wall colors. Clara and I don't see what's wrong with pink and purple.
Lastly and most importantly, here I am with a few of my friends at school. Dad came by our classroom to help out with lunch. Boy was he in for a surprise. He thought managing 1 Kindergartener and an almost 4 year old was tough. Why don't you try 26 Kindergarteners! YIKES!!
September is almost gone, Mom got a year older, and we keep trucking along. I can't wait for Halloween, I wonder what I'll be....
