Mid-week checking in (in other words, Mama didn't do "fun things...")

Happy Hump Day!

All's well in the Fisher house this week. We had a wonderful weekend at home w.Nana & Pappaw. Mama let Pappaw have the honor of the Friday Night Soundtrack & as he started belting out Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", she knew she'd got it right. Not to be outdone, Nana was the train-leader as we "choo-chooed" around the downstairs. I don't know if trains normally allow pets, but of course our caboose was Sae Sae. I'm also not sure that train conductors get to drink on the job, but Nana was sippin' Corona while simultaneously whistle blowing - Mama calls that good multi-tasking!

My appetite's back up & I ate like a lil' pig Friday evening after all the singing and choo-chooing. After I went to bed, the fam-damily stayed up & had a lil' Friday night Fish Fry as Roger Miller and George Jones played on in the background. I think they got a lil' silly cause I heard them talking Saturday about my Deddy "cre-ating" himself asleep in front of the fire. Sure made Nana, Pappaw & Mama laugh retelling it :)


As you can see from the pics Mama posted, I was quite the lil' ham at breakfast Saturday/Sunday morning. I was putting on my precious face left & right. This weekend I made sure to show Nana & Pappaw all my new lil' things I'm doing. Things like my new pouty-face, complete w.bottom lip stuck out. I wear my lil' temperament right on my sleeve - Mama & Deddy just laugh at me. Mama likes to try & "get" my lip when I poke it out - I TRY real hard NOT to let this make me smile :)

Saturday night we made an awesome discovery (well, that's what Mama keeps saying anyways) that Papa John's delivers to our house. She was very giddy & kept talking about garlic sauce! At any rate, they fed me supper before the pizza got there. But I still made my rounds to each of them getting one bite after another of their pizza slices. They thought I was going to pop from eating so much. I just kept saying, "mmmmmm" w.every bite. I think the cuteness overwhelmed them as I kept stealing bites :)

I was sad to see Nana & Pappaw leave & was very confused when I got up from my nap on Sunday. I kept wondering around saying, "Nana?", "Pappaw?" - even when Mama got me home yesterday, I was STILL asking about them.

Let's see - what else is going on. Um, I'm sleeping pretty good although I've been crying out at night about 15-20 min. after being laid down. Mama thinks it's a lil' separation anxiety - yet another phase! I now want to be rocked again & when Mama picked me up the other night after I cried out, I had my blanket & my Mickey firmly in my grasp. I don't think they mind that I'm back in a rocking groove. I've also started clutching my giraffe when I sleep which they "awww" over every time they see me do it. Mama's glad I have so many lil' friends in my crib w.me :)

I'm currently on the Atkins diet - trying to watch my carbs. I usually eat my burgers bun-less, the middle out of my sandwiches and at school, my sheet usually says, "No Bun" (even w.sloppy joes). Mama & Deddy think this is SO weird.

School's going good, working on lots of neat things. Mama's anticipating an artful heap of red, glittery, heart-filled masterpieces to be sent home any day now. Got a great surprise recently. My teacher, Mrs. Karen's been back some! She's still being treated for her cancer, but is trying to be there when she can. Mama & Deddy are really praying hard for her - they love how good she is w.all the kids & think that she takes great care of me.

This weekend is Valentine's and I've been told to be on the look out for some goodies in the mail - I have some pretty great people who love me bunches! We'll be checking the mail for sure :)

Hope everyone's having a good week & that you take some time this weekend to steal some cuddles & kisses. Mama thinks Valentine's Day is cheesy but she's a firm believer in daily mass affection - hence the constant "smooching" she's always getting me with! I've become quite the lil' cuddler, hugger, snuggle-buddy, though - I think she's wearing off on me. I try & do more manly wrestling w.Deddy, but he sometimes takes advantage & sneaks in some "smooching" too. He & Mama are so silly, but they do tell me they love me ALL THE TIME & I think that's pretty neat.

Mama says I should sign off w.hugs & kisses. I'm thinkin' more dinosaur growls and "boom" punches...either way, I'm signing off - almost lunchtime :)
