Mermaid

Dear world.
I had another idea for Halloween. I thought maybe I should be something that is representative of where I live. So since I live in San Diego near the ocean, I immediately thought of a mermaid! Legendary and sparkly and I can wear a tiara! How perfect, don't you think?

Dictionary Day

Dictionary Day is in honor of Noah Webster, considered the Father of the American Dictionary. He was born on October 16, 1758.

As a writer, I wanted to celebrate today. So I thought it would be a good idea to read the Dictionary and learn some new words. I also wanted to encourage Annie to build her vocabulary, so I thought Curious George could help her start.  After reading a bit, she asked Mommy if she could get a “collectible” and some "canine confections” at the pet store. Great. Now she knows new words for Toys and Treats!

What new word did you learn today?

Karate Class

Dear world,

I understand that the Martial Arts are a wonderful way of teaching self-discipline and socialization skills. So I decided to add Karate to my Princess School curriculum. I enrolled Annie in class and gave her a Karate robe. I know she should start with a white belt,  but since I needed to entice her I gave her a red belt since that is her fave color.  Yes,  my black belt is the best,  but I really wish it was pink.

National Chess Day

Dear world,
Since Checkers Day in September, I have diligently been trying to teach Annie to play Chess. It took a while,  but she did start listening and showing some interest. So now that Chess Day has arrived, Annie decided she was ready. So she had her Queen take out one of her pawns. OK. So we should go back to playing Checkers.

Leif Erikson

Annie heard it was Leif Erikson Day this week (10/9) and wanted to know what that meant. I explained that Mr. Erikson was a Viking explorer and the first Nordic person to visit North America. So this day celebrates the spirit of exploration and discovery, and contributions of Nordic people and their culture. So the next thing I knew, Annie came up with her own way to celebrate. Annie the Viking!

Cocker Meet-up III

Dear world,

Last weekend we went to the monthly Cocker Meet-up. Annie loves being around kindred cockers. This time I tried to mind my own poodle business, but a new Cocker puppy had other plans. Since we were the same size, she wanted to be my new BFF.  I can deal with Cockers, but puppies are a whole nother breed. No thank you.

Unicorn

Well it is October, and as you know, that means Halloween. So I thought I would start early to choose options of what I wanted to be. I was thinking maybe I could be something beautiful, magical and legendary. And then I found a unicorn ensemble and thought how perfect. Rosy the Unicorn. What do you think?

Sand Bar?

When at the beach Mommy called us to come out to join her at the sand bar. I wasn't quite sure, but on a warm day a bar sounded good for a (non-alcoholic) drink. So I convinced Annie to come with me. 

Once we got to the Sand Bar, we didn't see anyone serving drinks. Annie was looking for any hors d'oeuvres  none in sight. We should have come during happy hour.
