My New Chair!

I love my antique rocker but lately I’ve been playing a bit rough with it. Mom decided to get me something a bit more sturdy to sit on. Here’s my new chair. I use it as a means to climb on any and everything in the family room…. it doubles as a great step!

Stew Leonard’s

I just love going to Stew Leonard’s. It’s my favorite shopping experience. Watch me be-bop to the Country Animal Jamboree!

Dinner at Ikea

Here I am having a plate of Swedish meatballs. Yum! I really enjoyed the mac and cheese there as well.

I also scored some stuffed animals on this trip – two new Ollies! Dad brought over two stuffed dogs and asked me which one I liked better… of course I grabbed and hugged them both and somehow they followed me home….

Bye Bye 5 Guys, Hello Shake Shack!

Tonight Mom and I went out for a dinner date at Shake Shack. Mom got two burgers as she didn’t want to share hers. Of course food always looks better when it’s not yours…. so I had to have Mom’s burger.

I go in for the reach…

Got it!


That’s Shack Sauce on my face….

Then I had a fry, and stole Mom’s lemonade.

But what I really wanted was the ice!
After crunching on ice I decided I was still hungry so I tore in to the second burger.

Stepping Stones Part Deux

Today mom and I took a second field trip to Stepping Stones, a museum for children. It might be my favorite place on Earth.

First I tried out my driving skills on the bus — toot toot!

Then I decided to change the scenery on the bus:

Then I had a snuggle in the dog house. I loved looking at the pictures of dogs on the walls of the house:

I was so pooped that I fell asleep in the car on the way home…..

Stepping stones museum

Today Mom took me to a children’s museum.

First I tried out the school bus.


Then I built a flower(video)

I painted a masterpiece. I’m a natural as I just picked up the brush and instinctively knew what to do! (video)

Little girl, what do you think of my painting?

I was tired from exerting myself and snuggled with a giant stuffed dog.

I whipped up a tasty meal in the kitchen!

An Apple a Day

Grandma was out for Aunt Lisbeth’s baby shower and brought me this great bench. I demand to sit on it whenever I’m in the yard…. and sometimes I see it from the family room window and feel the urge to go out and sit on it!

After resting on the bench I explored the backyard. We have an apple tree in out backyard and the deer and squirrels left me just a few to sample.

My summer

I’ve been very hungry this summer. Here is a quick list of things I’ve eaten.

I snatched this tomato off the counter and rook a big bite out of it before mom caught me.

I dug through this bag in search of raspberries.

I ate corn on the cob. Naked.


I ate yogurt.


I ate a cupcake my new sitter made for me. I also licked the wrapper.

Happy 4th!

We started the day in regal fashion–dad schlepped out to get us some bagels, lox and cream cheese. I ate half of mom’s bagel. I love lox!!


More chive cream cheese please

Here’s a video of me eating:

Unckie Neil came up to celebrate the long weekend with me and picked me some flowers.

Later I cut a rug to my favorite tune called “the worm”

Day Five – Done!

This was the last day of getting our floors done. Phew!

Dad took Friday off since it was the Fourth of July weekend and we went out to Tabouli Grill for lunch. That’s hummus on my forehead.

Then we went out for a swim.

I kicked some water at dad.

Then we played in the basement for a while.

Day 4

We’re getting close to being done with the floors. After running a bunch of errands we played in mom and dad’s bedroom.

Hmm what am I missing???

Let me take a look…

Ah ha!

Day 3

Today they put down a coat of poly-the first of 3 so again our goal was to stay out of the house.

First we went to lunch in town and ate on a patio overlooking main street.


After a few more errands I napped in the backyard.


Then mom and I inspected her garden and since I love flowers she picked me a chive flower…which soon ended up in my mouth. I liked it and nibbled on it several times!
