Multi-Tasker Extraordinaire

Hi everyone,

I know what you might be thinking after reading the title of the post, but you'll have to get past your stereotypes and acknowledge that I am a male who can multi-task. I know, it is a rare thing, but it is possible.

Exhibit A: Riding a bike (one handed no less), while talking on the phone, while chewing gum!

Mom says that I will have to get the whole talking on the phone while driving thing out of my system now so that I can avoid potential accidents and tickets when I am older.

I thought I'd also give you insight into how my imagination works at times. In Exhibit B, I am driving back and forth, back and forth over the kitchen floor because I am driving the machine that lays the water down for the street sweeper to pick up the dirt from the roadways. By they way, my expression might look a little strange because mom snapped a picture of me in mid-explanation of my activity.

Exhibit B:

Until next time . . .

Winter Wonderland Continued

Hi everyone,

So, as I was saying before, we had this really strange weather when we got our snow clouds. You can see gray puffy clouds but also blue sky. At one point (in the first picture) it was like this little wispy cloud was hanging over our backyard and it started snowing while we were out there talking about it. Mom and dad thought it was kind of funny but I didn't really know any different.

This time instead of making snow angels we focused on snowmen and snowballs. Dad actually used charcoal for the snowman's eyes and mouth, a carrot for the nose, yardsticks for the arms, and mom's scarf and hat to top it off.

More snow has come since then and mom is just itching to get back outside and run. We are used to snow and ice hanging around for a day or two, but not a week or two. Not only that but it is forecasted to snow again tonight. I'm hoping it will, Mom is hoping it won't, and Dad is fine either way.

Until next time . . .

Winter Wonderland

 Hi everyone,

A few days ago it suddenly decided to snow! Yes, I was excited, as you can well imagine. Now you know that snow is not unheard of where we live, but it is usually something that is forecasted many days in advance and not something that falls out of the sky out of the blue. Not so on this particular day. We were standing in the kitchen when either mom or dad, I can't remember, looked out the window and exclaimed that it was snowing and it wasn't just teeny tiny flakes. These were big, humongous flakes and they were sticking like crazy. Within a short little while our yard and the sidewalks and road were covered with a blanket of snow.

What is a four year old to do when faced with a sudden snow storm? Go out and play, of course. This was actually perfect timing because I had just mentioned that I wanted to be able to make snow angels the next time we had snow and mom and dad were trying to figure out when we could take a trip to the mountains. Well, that was easy.

There really is a trio there if you look hard enough.

Mom is on the left, I'm in the middle, and Dad is on the right.

Even the dog wanted to get in on the snow action!

 

Now that doesn't look safe . . . okay that's better.

I'll have to continue with our snow adventures in the next post. We had more exciting events take place, including a little gray snow cloud that was situated right over our house while there was blue sky elsewhere. but you'll have to wait and see though because I'm too tired right now.

Until next time . . .
