A full week of fun

Bonjour à tous,

Maman and I just have a week with no school. She says she cannot quite call it vacation since there was a non stop frenzy of cooking to fill up the freezer, of working on her preps for her 1st graders, on cleaning the house, on going to various appointments and of course, of spending a lot of fun time with me.
Follow me on my various adventures...

Day 1- We went to the mountain with the intention of putting me on skis. But it seemed like another billion people had the same idea so there was no parking to be found. None. I was disappointed but after learning that we would then go tubing, I got excited again. And it sure was fun to play in the snow.
Here are some pics and a video...

Day 2- There are no pictures of me cooking but I am beginning to be quite the helper in the kitchen. I love food, what can I say. Maman was making a vegetarian dish and she asked me to cut the onions and prepare the basil leaves. And you know how good those two things are: I tried about 1/4 cup of the onion and about 10 basil leaves. Yeap, I love cooking!
Oh, it's also the morning I finally got to eat like an ant. I have been asking forever and for some reason it was never the right time. So that morning I got to use my mandibles and I ate like an ant would. Well, not easy, I am telling you!

 
In the afternoon, Maman took me to my first movie theater experience. We went to see a beautiful move called "The secret world of Arrietty". You'd better check your basements: you might have little people in there. I told Maman that our little people, or borrowers, are in the walls.

Day 3 - It was the appointments and gym day for Maman. As for me, I did my favorite activity. See, when Maman tells me to get dressed, I usually spend the next hour or two in my room...not getting dressed! She usually finds me butt naked surrounded by a pile of books. I love them books!

Day 4- After cleaning the house, and yes I can vacuum too, it was board game day with Maman.
Here are a few of the games we played with.

Day 5- It was a very exciting day because Tina and Darren were coming for dinner. I was soooooo excited that I could not even fall asleep for my nap. We had fun and the wrestling got me all wound up; it was way passed my bedtime when I went to bed where Tina read me a story.

Day 6- Finally, a beautiful day. After a little stop at the gym where I usually stay at the club's daycare while Maman sweats on the machines, we headed to the park for a fun bike ride. Maman had to run after me.

 I stopped for some fishing under the bridge but could not find any juicy worms so came back empty ended.

After a long nap, it was time for swimming. The last time you saw me swim was a year ago. Click here if you want to go see the difference. I have been stalling for a long time but finally I am making progress. I still spend a lot of my time being goofy! And, yeah, I am the one who decided to wave at Maman while swimming. I told her later I was not sure she could recognize me, what with being under the water and all.


Day 7- Maman was back at the gym so Papa took me to OMSI. I always love going there. I basically run around like a mad man trying to touch as many buttons as possible not really caring what they do, but I have fun!

  
Day 8- This was the last day of my fun week. And it ended well with my friend E's birthday party. We had fun in the bouncy houses and of course, pizza and cake sent me to heaven. It's funny how 90% of the kids had leftovers in their plates and were gone somewhere else. I ended up being the only one sitting and finishing every bite. As I told Maman who was asking if it was too much food for me, I told her that if somebody puts food in front of you, it's only polite to eat it...

Here you go. A full week worth of fun! And now it's back to school for 7 more weeks and you might not hear from me until Spring break. I'll leave you with a photo of me and Maman...
