A big big week

Last week I hardly went to school at all



Monday was a holiday for Martin Luther King Day



Tuesday was a snow day and I stayed home with Daddy



Wednesday was a snow day and I went to work with Mummy. I had a good time talking to the people at work; watching youtube while eating popcorn; and playing with Mummy's snowdomes (I broke two and Mummy broke one while cleaning up).



Thursday and Friday I went to school



Saturday, Mummy and I flew to Puerto Rico for a nice beach holiday in the middle of the harsh DC winter.




We had lots of fun playing on the beach, eating plantains, enjoying Happy Hour (Sprite for me, Pina Colada for Mummy) and having dinner at a local restaurant.



Sunday was the beach, the pool and relaxing and Monday we went to old San Juan and checked out San Christobal Fort. I wasn't too sure about visiting the dungeon but it turned out to be pretty cool.



It was nice to see Daddy again on Sunday night but sooooooo cold back in DC!

Bon voyage Pattemores!

We've just arrived home after bidding farewell to Aunty Emma, Uncle Scott and Arwen after 4 days in NYC.

They are off to Hawaii and the beach and we are headed back to school and work.

I will miss Aunty Emma's cool voices when she read me bedtime books and Uncle Scott's 'claw'.

I will miss Arwen the most (but I won't tell anybody that and if you ask I'll tell you I didn't have a good time while she was here.

Here are some photo highlights from the Pattemore's visit:

Aunty Emma and Uncle Scott were as impressed by the bright lights and big tvs as I was!
