Master of the House

As the master of the house, it is my duty to make sure the yard and house stay in order. I have my awesome rocker on the patio so that I can take a break from all my hard work to enjoy our beautiful yard. In the past week, my gardening has really hit into high gear. I have four HUGE blackberries starting to ripen, and I check on them every night to make sure they get plenty of water. This weekend Mommy bought me some mini-tomato seeds and a tiny pot. I added the seeds and some water and watched the soil expand out. When they get big enough, I'll get to move them to a bigger pot and hopefully have some tomatoes to eat! We have had some terrible wind storms lately, and I noticed the fence was leaning a bit. Until Daddy and I can replace the post, we decided to do a temporary fix with some rope and a stake. It's always fun to use my hammer! When the work is done, it is time to play. My new nightly routine involves, a little pitching, some base running, and lots of hitting. I like for Daddy to pitch it to me, and then I smash it over the fence. I am a self-proclaimed home run king! In other exciting news, I have recently adopted an imaginary grizzly bear. He started out by chasing us home from school a few times, but eventually he moved in and goes with us everywhere. If he gets too hungry, Daddy has to make him breakfast and a glass of water, but most of the time he's pretty low maintenance. Sometimes I even watch him jump over my toys. Grrrrrr! Also, after days of asking, my parents finally bought me my own pair of scissors. They have to be with me when I use them, but I love "snipping" the paper. I remind them all the time that we are not allowed to cut the table, wall, or hair....only paper. This past weekend, Daddy and I went to Kroger to pick up a few things, and while we were there, the Easter Bunny arrived on a fire truck. AWESOME! Then there was an easter egg hunt, and I found three eggs with candy inside. The Easter Bunny gave me more candy, a balloon and stickers on my way out. Best shopping trip ever. Now just a few more days until he brings me a whole basket of goodies. I'll keep passing the time until then singing Petter Cottontail all around the house. Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way!!!
