Tuesday, we got to bring our alphabet books home. We were very excited to show Mom & Dad. We had been working on them all year - we decorated and worked on a few new letters every week and this week, we finally got z and were done! We like to read our books, and it was very fun to show Mom & Dad how hard we'd worked on them all week.
Wednesday was field trip day at school! We got to go to the library. There was a castle (but no stairs in the castle to get to the second floor) and a BIG dragon at the library.
Thursday Mommy picked us up from Sue's, and after we got home, we replanted our Harry Heads. (At school, we planted grass in a cup, then drew a face on the cup so it looked like the grass was Harry's hair). We planted it in the yard - I planted mine in the middle of a dead spot in the grass. Hannah planted hers against the garage. We dug a hole, took the grass out of the cup, put it in the ground and watered it.
Friday, we got to bring home a bunch of papers, including our report cards. Mom and Dad said we did a good job - our teacher wrote notes as to what we like to do and that she's looking forward to having us in her class next year. Monday is out last day of school!
Saturday was a busy day with lots of running around!
Daddy had to study for a big test, so we got out of the house so he could have some quiet. Mom was going to take us to see fire trucks at a vehicle fair, but the place they were supposed to be in was empty. Bummer! So, we went to Target, Marshalls (I called it Martian's when I told Grandma where we went) and Michael's craft stores. We had our moments when we weren't good, but there were so many new things to see, it was hard to not touch things! When we got home, we had leftover pizza with Daddy to celebrate his passing one of his tests.
After lunch, Daddy gave us walkie talkies to play with. They were so cool! We could talk to each other in any area of the house. We even took them with us to run afternoon errands with Mom while Daddy did his last test.
We were talking to each other while driving in the car (yes, we were sitting next to each other) when some guy came on our walkie talkies. We thought it was Daddy, so we started saying "Daddy? Is that you?" "Daddy, talk to us!" Mom told us anybody who has the same walkie talkies as us can talk to us, so it wasn't Daddy. Even Griffin could talk to us if he had the same walkie talkie! So, Hannah pretended to be Griffin when talking to me. She's funny!
We got to bring our walkie talkies in the fabric store with us while Mom picked out some patterns and zippers. I talked on my walkie talkie twice, so Mommy turned mine off - she's serious when she says I can't talk on the walkie talkie in a store! It was a fun store, though. Hannah found feather boas, we played with pillows, sat in chairs and played with each other. I walked up to the sales lady when we were ready to check out and told her that I am Noah, my sister is Hannah and my Mom is Shari. I made her smile.
Daddy called to tell us he passed his test so we could come home and play with him, but Mom had to stop at 2 more stores - she wanted to go to the container store to buy something for daddy's truck, and Blick to buy big black boards for her work. Then we took an unfamiliar route home through neighborhoods before coming back to see Daddy.
After supper, we had to go to the basement because the weather got bad. We didn't stay down long before we had to put our pajamas on and go to bed. We heard thunderstorms overnight, but we're brave so neither of us got out of bed to sleep with Mom and Dad.
This morning we got to watch Madacascar when we got up. It's my new movie! I love it!
We had a low key day of dinner, quiet time and played with Hannah's princesses before the sirens started to go off. Daddy told us that we should run straight to the basement if we hear sirens, so we went straight to the basement. Hannah colored while I sat on Mom's lap and watched TV. There were a bunch of tornadoes around us, but our house was OK. We even played in the backyard after we got out of the basement!
We did get a lot of rain this weekend. We had a lot of storms with rain, thunder, lightning and even hail. But, we had a few peeks of sun, too, so we could enjoy ourselves outside.
Before we went to bed tonight, we got to play Lightning McQueen game with Mommy.
Tomorrow is our last day of school!
Have a good week!
Noah
