Today was a great day full of fun stuff for me to do.  I got to watch back-to-back episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and eat hash browns that Grandpa brought home from his Saturday morning stop at McDonald’s.  Then, Grandma and I went to the bank, where I got to sit next to a really big bear and the teller gave me two stickers to wear on my shirt.  She also took me to the grocery store to get eggies so we could dye them later… of course, I was given a cookie at the bakery while we were there.

When I came home, Grandpa was just about to use his big air compressor to fill his truck tires.  Then, Mom and I had lunch (lil’ Smokies wrapped in crescent rolls, and grapes).  After lunch, I got to watch Grandpa use the rototiller in the garden to dig up all the dirt real good.  Next weekend, we’ll plant corn and tomatoes and carrots and other stuff.

This afternoon, Grandma took me to Auntie Valeta’s house where I got to color eggs for Easter with Cousin Riley.  I had so much fun… and Riley gave me two of his toys to take home — a play saxophone and a puffy Cars chair!  When we came home, Grandpa was using a rifle to aim at a target he’d stapled to a Redwood tree in our backyard.  He decided to put it away when I got there, but one day my dad will teach me to use a gun properly.  Mommy tells me how neat it would be if I chose to become a Policeman, or a Marine, or a Fireman, or a mail delivery man, or a baker, or whatever I want to be!

We had KFC for dinner and I got to play Play-Doh with Mom for a long time.  I didn’t see Baby Cody much today because he was sleeping all the time.  He’s got a cold just like me.  Mom says we probably won’t make it to Easter Sunday School tomorrow and I can tell she’s pretty sad about that.  But it’s ok.  A few days ago, when she was tucking me in, I decided to tell her “I want to know God.”  I have a feeling she and Daddy will help me know God every day, and so Easter will be one more very special day to know Him more.
