Things I get to do ...

... when Mommy is away for days on end and Daddy is left "in charge".

I get to stand on chairs with sharp coloring utensils


I get to eat Macaroni n' Cheese for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner



I get to run around the house
in Mommy's flip flops



I even get to play my music as loud as I want and climb up as high as I can while dancing around the house ...



And most important of all, I get to run and play with the dogs, as wildly as I can. Watch how much fun we all have ...



And then when the day is finally over, I get to do what all big grown-up kids get to do ...

I get to take a shower all by myself!!!

Sooooo bored lately ...

I've been really really bored around the house these last few weeks and I think it's mostly due to not seeing my good friend Nikki in a while. Normally all throughout the week my good friend Nikki comes over to play with me all day long (when Mommy and Daddy are busy doing stupid stuff like working or whatever). Well, I guess I can be overwhelming at times since Nikki needed a long vacation from me and thus, life just hasn't been the same. I've even been trying to pass the time by playing with the same stuff that Nikki and I play with, but it's just not the same ...

her stylish handbags that Nikki made with her...

(but Scout-No is NO replacement for Nikki) ...


... Avery telling stories on her Magic Story Board
(but Nikki does it much much better) ...


... Avery waiting for a letter from Nikki on her vacation
at her mailbox (that Nikki helped her make) ...

... some other pretty things that
Nikki helped Avery make ...



... Nikki is the best friend a little girl
like me would every want ...

Nikki, I can't wait until you get back!!!

Not as much fun as I remember ...

Avery trying to play with her lame old baby toys

So I just don't get it. I remember that I use to have so much fun playing with this floor mat thing with all of the baby toy things hanging from it and now it doesn't seem like that much fun. Why can't things that were the most fun in the world always be the same level of fun??? Here's even proof of all the fun I had playing on this thing years ago (
http://averyclaire.blogspot.com/2008/10/mission-accomplished.html ) where it was just awesome (although Suzie always made things more fun). Maybe this is just one of the many reasons why getting older sucks ... ah, the good ol' days just don't last forever.

Avery just not having as much fun on this as she use to

Hard Headed Little Lady ...

Avery after her "smash, bang, boom" accident

Daddy always says I'm being hard headed (just like Mommy), but who would have thought that might have been exactly true!!!

Case in point, I was just minding my own business like usual when Daddy forced me into playing "hide n' seek" with him ... next thing I know, he was chasing me like a crazy madman all around the house and the only thing I could do was try to duck for cover and then all I heard was "smash, bang, boom". Next thing that I know was that I'm on the ground rolling in smokey glass shards with a sore head and a steady steam of red dripping down my face. The horror ... the horror. At least Daddy knew what to do next ... he immediately called Mommy for help!!!

Surprise Mommy!!!!

I took out all your clothes and climbed into your luggage for your big conference in Philly this week. I knew you would rather have me along than all your stupid clothes anyway.
