Holiday Weekend!

The long weekend was super! Peyton and I were able to play all over the house while Mandy and Sam relaxed and worked. They left at one point and came back covered in sand, and they sure smelled bad. They also worked in the house organizing and cleaning. I feel like they do that a lot, but they always have things to do. For example, Mandy has already started working this morning in the kitchen and the bedroom.

Superman Sam was all over the place this weekend! He saved several animals! First of all there was a huge turtle in front of our house and I watched as a car drove by and hit the turtle! When Superman Sam came home he picked up the turtle and moved him out of the road. We are not sure what happened to the big turtle because he hid after Sam moved him. But hopefully he will be safe. Superman Sam also found a frog in the big tub! He reached in with his bare hands and scooped the frog out and set him free outside the screen. Mandy also found a tiny frog out front that Superman Sam saved from being thrown away when he got in the leaves Mandy was trying to pick up. The most important rescue this weekend was the rescue of my mice! Shrimp Dad gave us three mice at Christmas and we had lost two mice to Vacuum! The Villain took the mice and hid them in his evil lair. Sam found them this weekend and freed them from their Evil Captor.

Yesterday, Mandy worked in the dirt pulling what she calls weeds. It never ceases to amaze me how many weeds she will find. When Mandy finished out front she took me outback and then all of a sudden this machine started making this awful sound! The machine was eating the grass and Sam was pushing it through the backyard. I was so terrified that I cried and Mandy let me come back inside. When Sam was finished Mandy took Peyton out front and he watched Sam sweep up leaves. Peyton said he was also frightened, and Mandy brought him back inside. She said we are fraidy cats and that we were safe. I guess we’ll never know who was right.

Today Peyton and I want to go outside, but we can’t because Mandy says the ground is wet. I just heard thunder! I think I will go snuggle Mandy because she will keep me safe.
