Today I went shopping and out for lunch with Mommy and Auntie Diane. It was a really nice day, it's a little cooler now, but it's much nicer to walk around and explore in.
Mommy is getting pretty sad because I'll be in school in a few days. I'm going to miss her too. But soon my great auntie will be here, and then we'll have Andrea's Christening here over the Thanksgiving weekend. The whole family will be here for that. I can't wait, I haven't seen Uncle Paul, Aunt Dulce and little Amanda since last Christmas and I haven't even met Andrea yet. Mommy says that the house is going to feel incredible with all of our loved ones in it at the same time. And I'm looking forward to the big Christening party, because parties always mean cake.

Daddy was off most of last week and we had a great time. We went to Toronto on Wednesday, than on Thursday and Friday we shopped for new kitchen appliances and a new washer and dryer. Mommy and Daddy picked out all stainless steel ones. The entrance is all finished and the house looks really different.
Then on Sunday we had the annual AS Families picnic. It rained again this year so we had to have it inside and only a few families came. But that was okay, we had a really nice visit with them.
Today I'm helping Mommy do laundry. Daddy is back at work and I really miss him. Oh and it's my last week before school starts. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Mommy says she's really going to miss me, I'm really going to miss her too. But I'm excited about seeing all of my friends.

Well it's almost time to go back to school. I'll be glad to see all of my friends, but I won't be too happy to get up that early every morning.
Mommy and I have been doing some back to school shopping, getting my uniform all ready and buying new shoes. I hope I have Charlene again this year as my bus driver, I've had her ever since I started school. I'm excited about Grade 5, I hope I do well in it.
Oh and soon my great aunt Erika will be here for a visit, we're all pretty excited about that.
Tomorrow we're going on a trip to Toronto with Daddy and Nonna to a jewelry store, I love going to Toronto, there is so much to see. But I think I'm happier living in the country, Toronto is nice to visit though.

This is the color Daddy painted the Hallway.

Today was a rainy day, so I helped Mommy do some laundry, I sorted the socks. Then we cleaned the house, well Mommy cleaned, I helped tidy up. After that we made some Spezzatino, I helped with the vegetables. (It's an Italian stew)
Now we're wating for Daddy to come home.

Another great weekend, the weather was beautiful. Daddy was painting so Mommy and I stayed out of his way. Did some shopping, some swimming, hung out with Geraldine and Uncle Boo.

Saturday night Mommy had to take Nellie to the emergency vet clinic but everything turned out okay. They gave her some medication for her infection and she's feeling much better today already. I'm very happy, we all love Nellie and Molly very much.

Aren't they cute ????

Today B.J. came to visit me in the afternoon. I was so happy to see her, we played some games and she brought me a Franklin movie and some treats too, then we splashed in the pool. We had such a great time together. I just love her so much.

Today was a beautiful day. We spent most 0f it in the pool. I played volleyball in the pool with Daddy, Uncle Boo and Mommy. Then for dinner, Mommy made her famous ribs and Daddy made his yummy chicken wings. They were both really good, and we have lots left over for tomorrow. Tomorrow, Mommy says it's a cleaning day and I have to pick up my all of my toys and stuff. The long weekend is over and it's time to get back to work.

Saturday evening was Mommy's Birthday party. Daddy had it catered and there were about 20 people here. Mommy had a great time, she says whenever her and her Ya-Ya's get together it'a always a hoot. This is a picture of me with Mommy and all of my Aunties except for Auntie Liz and Auntie Dulce. I wish they could have been here. But Auntie Liz lives far away and Auntie Dulce and Uncle Paul just had a baby and live about three hours away.

Then Sunday we spent the whole afternoon in the pool and we're planning on doing the same tomorrow. It's a long weekend so Daddy is off tomorrow.

Today was Mommy's 40th Birthday, it was also the hottest day, 46c with the humidity, on record since 1956. That's funny, you all know how much Mommy hates the heat....Happy Birthday Mommy !!!
Daddy took the day off and we hung out in the pool trying to keep cool, then for dinner Daddy cooked (Swiss Chalet). And Uncle Boo brought Tim's coffee and Mommy her present and we had cake. Mommy's real party is Saturday night when everyone will be here. Daddy is even having it catered !! how exciting. Mommy says that her wish for this decade is to swim in a shark tank with real sharks coming up close. In her twenties she wanted to fly a plane and her and Daddy both did. In her thirties she wanted to jump out of a plane first and then have me, I came along first so she never got to jump out of a plane. But she still got to have me. She says she would never do that now that she's a Mommy. Good thing I came along when I did. Now she wants to swim with sharks. She promised me that it would be very safe for her. Oh boy, why can't Mommy knit or sew like other Mommies !!
