Civics class

Daddy was laughing at this video. He said it was a good lesson in civics for me. I'm sure I would agree, if I knew what civics was.


Daddy said if I really want to know civics, I should take this test. He got a 73.3%. I'd probably do better, if I had time to study.

Pepere's Tree

Today was the 133rd running of the Preakness. My Pepere (that's what I call my grandpa) used to go every year, and Daddy and my uncles used to go with him. My Pepere died before I was born, but Daddy was thinking about him today, and he told me a lot of stories about him.

Daddy wanted to dedicate something to Pepere, so he went to the garden store and got a Japanese Red Maple, which was Pepere's favorite tree. I helped Daddy plant it while Daddy told me more stories about him.

"Big Brown" won the Preakness today, so Daddy and I named the tree "Big Red" to mark the day.







I wish I got to meet my Pepere- he sounds like my kind of guy. I love him.

there's another remonster on the loose:

(A Really) Bad Hair Day

Daddy's in BIG trouble now! He cut my hair last time and left me lookin' like I had a gorilla bump on my head, you know, where they have that pointy protrusion at the top of their melon-

Boy is Alka mad at Daddy!

So Daddy said he's gonna fix it. He takes me on down to the haircut place, it was kinda neat- it had lacrosse games playing, and all the haircut girls were looking like referees, only they were cute. Turns out they're just as blind as real refs. So she made my haircut go from bad to really bad. Daddy says if she had another eye she'd be a cyclops!

I think she just left her glasses at home.

Daddy was trying to make the most of it and started laughing, he said I looked like Prince Valiant.

You can bet Daddy didn't laugh when we got home.

He said he won't even get to sleep on the couch. Its straight to the car for him. Oy!

At least Prince Valiant is kind of a hero!

Not like this guy!

Yup

That's how I roll...

reLAX

Daddy took me to another lacrosse game this weekend. It was right near home so we just walked there. It was Hopkins at Loyola this time, and Hopkins came back from behind to win in the fourth quarter. It was fun.

After the men's game the Loyola women played and that was even more fun. There was a picnic, and a ton of people hanging out and playing and eating and making music and there was a cool mascot and I was dancing and running and shooting goals and I even tried to help the girls by coaching a little bit at halftime, cause the Loyola girls weren't doing so hot -

I had so much fun I forgot to take a nap the whole day!

Huddle up girls!! We gotta lot of work to do!

Gimme a "L"!!

These pom poms are cozy, but I can't stop now

In between coaching and running on the field, I was hanging out with all the cheerleaders

Daddy had fun too!
