Super Super Saturday!

Today my Dad went to the movies to see "The Watchmen" with Nate and John, so it was just Mom and I adventuring today. We started up in Frisco shopping at the mall, I was less than excited about the mall so I slept the whole time. Then we headed over to Snider Plaza to enjoy some of the more unique places in Dallas. We started at Great Harvest Bread Company (see the Bunny Loaf below). Then we did a little window shopping and headed over to Candy and Corns. I picked out some pink popcorn, which was Cotton Candy flavor (see picture below). Then we headed to Learning Express where I played at the train table.
Want to play??? I met a girl selling girl scout cookies who shared my love of the choo choo trains. She was really nice and older. She must have heard Mom saying my name, as she came over and told me "You know what Riley....you're really cute". It made my day!!!
Here's the Cotton Candy popcorn I told you about. It was delicious.
Here's the bunny loaf. What a cute little bunny.

After our afternoon of playing we headed home to see Dad. Unfortunately, he had gotten hurt in the garage and had to go to the hospital to get stitches in his thumb. He's ok now. I'm helping nurse him back to health with cookies and ice cream (his favorite).
Happy Birthday shout out to my Great Grandma Wilson!!!

TGIF!!!

I had a great Friday. It started off with going to school to see Mr. Heath. Mom dropped me off and promised to come get me early. So off to the Mr. Heath music class I went. My new favorite Mr. Heath song is Stinkyfeet. I like to tell everyone, including strangers, that they have Stinkyfeet. After nap time Mom came and picked me up. Since Dad was going for a massage after work and since the Massage Envy location is close to my friend Caroline, Mom and I decided on a late Friday playdate. Thankfully, Ms. Lissa and Caroline were available and ready to play. I was so happy, can you tell by my half-hidden smile? Playing in Caroline's playhouse with our friends Mickey and Minnie.

After playing with the house, we were off to the sand table. Hopefully Dad fills my sand table up with summer sand soon.

After the playdate, Mr. Wes came home from work and Dad came to visit after his massage. Caroline and I had already eaten, taken a bath and had on our jammies. While our parents were busy eating and hanging out, we wrestled with Caroline's Dad (Mr. Wes).

Later Caroline and I were exhausted. She feel asleep upstairs in her bed and I feel asleep in the floor of her playroom. I can't wait for the rest of the weekend.

What a Thursday!!

Today Mom took me to school. This is a little out of routine, so Mom stayed a little while. My friends and I love books, and Mom got a chance to read the class one of our favorite, "Ten Friendly Fish". It was lots of fun to show off my Mom. Mom went home to clean out our garage. Later my sweaty Mom came to pick me up early from school. Mom brought 4 boxes of dishes and randomness to give to one of my teachers. She also brought a box of books for my class. When I got home we parked our car in the garage. How cool, we have never done that before. I was happy to find another package from Grandma. There was a Goofy and Pluto plush animal inside. I was so excited, now Mickey and Minnie have friends to play with. There was also lots of Mickey clothes and jammies. I'm sure to look super handsome in them. Later Mom and I went to the track at the high school and played at the baseball fields. When we came home and Dad gave me a bath. I wasn't quite ready to go to sleep yet, so my Mom let me go with her to the grocery store. I brought my new friends Goofy and Pluto with me. I sang the "Hot Dog Dance" song throughout the story and everyone thought I was sooooo cute. When I got home Dad took me and all my friends (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy) to bed. Dad must be super strong because that is a lot of people to carry at one time.

Clean clothes, book reading and wrestling...what a Wednesday!!

So today it was business as usual.....get ready for school, go to school, come home from school and then the excitement begins. I had a great time hanging out with my friends at school. Mom came and picked me up and we talked to Baby Jack and Ms. Melissa for a little bit at school. Then we were on our way home. When we got home I helped Mommy fold some of my clothes. Then Daddy came home and we had a wrestle-fest. Daddy loves to wrestle and so do I....Mom says this equates to danger.

Here is my trademark headlock pose:

Daddy's trademark behind the back move:
You can't tickle me if you can't see me.
Upside down Riley yelling "Riley fall down".
After our first round of wrestling there was a knock at the door. Daddy went outside and there was a package for me. Grammie sent me two Mickey Mouse books. I was so excited I read one with Mom right away. Then it was back to wrestling with Dad.

Look Mommy, it's Toodles.
I went on a late night stroll with Mom and Dad. Here Daddy is being silly.
One last story with Mommy. I picked out a Diego book. Who needs cartoons on TV, when you have books and a Mommy that does silly voices.

Hello friends....I'm back to school.

Today I went to school and was reunited with my friends. It has been so long since I have seen them. It was nice to get back to my routine (though I love my adventures too). Today we read the Three Billy Goats Gruff and learned about the troll under the bridge. Mom picked me up a little bit later than usually from school. She was over at Ms. Lissa's doing laundry, (don't ask it was a long story about Rusty and Chloe). When I got home Dad met Mom and I at the front door. Dad was all sweaty from the gym, but I loved wrestling with him when I got home anyways.
Here I am with Binky and Blankie.
Playing at bath time.
Eating my chicken nuggets, yogurt and fruit.
I'm so happy to be back with Baby Jaguar.
Oh, and I'm happy to be back with Tai Lung too.
Though Tai Lung did attack the Little People garage of Jack and Walter.

I'm coming home......

Early in the morning Mom and I hit the road. So kisses and hugs for Grammie and Pop Pop and we were off. We filled up with gas and hit the open road.

Mom was thinking about getting breakfast early, but tried to talk herself out of it as she hasn't been feeling the best. About 30 minutes later, we stopped off for an Egg McMuffin. In the drive-thru, I kept talking about chicken. Mommy thought I was hungry, but knew I had just finished eating Cheerios with Pop Pop. Mom explained to me that they weren't serving chicken yet, and that's when she saw it.... a live chicken walking through the parking lot. She snapped these pictures as she was sure no one would believe us. Look closely at the drain in the picture. I guess McDonald's has really fresh chicken.
I did great in the car. I was awake the majority of the time, though I did fall asleep about an hour outside of Dallas. When I woke up, Mom was getting me out of the car and we were home. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was so happy to be home. Then Daddy came home from work and we played outside and he even took me to the park. I had a fun trip, but it sure is nice to be home with my Dad. I can't wait for my next adventure. I hope Dad can come this time.

Sunday with Pop Pop and Grammie

So Uncle Bryan had to leave to go back home to snowy New Jersey and Aunt Woo Woo and Matt packed up to head back to Austin. That's right, it's time for some quality time with Grammie and Pop Pop. I played out in the backyard with Pop Pop and we went and played in the front yard with my wagon and car. While Mom took a nap I watched Fox and the Hound with Grammie. After I wore out Pop Pop, we went over to our friends the Hirsch's house. They sure are nice. They let me run all around their house and they treated me to water and cheese popcorn (Mom forgot to bring my treat bag and juice cup, way to be prepared Mom). Guy and I had a tickle fight, it was super fun. He is an excellent tickler. And Ms. Barbara gave me a gift. It had a little Goofy on it. I love little Goofy, I only had a Mickey and Minnie Mouse and now I have little Goofy.....yea. And when I opened up the yellow gift wrap there was a bubble set. She must know me pretty well as I love bubbles. Mom says I can play with them when I get home with Daddy.
