Episode 28 - Snarding

This is a new word I made up. I use it all the time now. My mother laughs everytime I say it. Here's what it means.
Example 1: We were all laying on some blankets on the floor in Adam's room reading stories. I got upset and said that Cassee was snarding all the blankets.
Example 2: We got a present from Nana and Papa in the mail. It was really Adam's birthday present, but they put an extra present in the box for Cassee and me. We both got a play cell phone and car keys with a keychain. (Totally awesome, by the way.) The only problem was that Adam didn't get a cell phone and he kept snarding mine.
My mother has deducted that it's my way of saying that someone is hogging stuff. Snarding the blankets, snarding my toys. Everyone in my house keeps snarding, and it's driving me nuts!
Although I do now love to use that new word. Snarding... doesn't that sound fun to say!!

Episode 27 - Dancing

I love to dance!



Someone give me some clogs!! I'm going to be awesome! (Just like my Aunt Julia!) This song is my favorite to dance to, Cotton-Eyed Joe.
My mom is looking for a place for me to take dance lessons again in the fall. I hope she finds something!

Episode 26 - North Dakota isn't always cold?

Tonight I was talking to my mom in the car. She said that Cassee was going to be in preschool when I go to first grade. I told her that I was going to first grade in about 5 or 6 days.
She said it would be a lot more days than that. I just wasn't sure. Then she said we have to finish winter, have spring, the baby will come, go all through the summer, go on our trip to ND, and then I would be in first grade. I told her I wanted to go to ND during the summer because it is too hot and I'd have to take off all my clothes if I stayed here.
Mom then told me that it gets hot in ND in the summer too. I was SHOCKED!!
She asked what I thought ND was like and I told her that I thought it always had snow! She just laughed at me. I guess the only times I remember being in ND was when it was cold. I had no idea that Nana and Papa ever lived where it was warm.
Now I guess I can't go there to cool off in the summertime!
