What do you mean this is my breakfast?

"HIP HIP HOORAY! Lucy, it's time to get up, we got a BIG day."
That is how Dad woke me up. I was so tired..Dad please shut-up!
"No No No", he said. "Time to eat breakfast,
so we can get dressed and go go go!
So up I finally got, so slowly I went to the table
Green eggs and ham, no I won't eat them, eat them I will NOT!
Sorry Dad, I am just not able.



I will not eat them while outside,
I will not eat them on my slide
I do not like them swinging from a tree
I do not like them, let me be!



I will not eat them in my chair
I will not eat them anywhere!
I do not like them in the car
I do not like them near or far!



Dad! If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see.
Hey, I like these green eggs and ham. I like them, yes, I must say!

I will eat them on my slide
I will eat them while outside!
I like them in my chair
I like them ANYWHERE!



Now that breakfast over
Dad loaded me up and off I went
riding in the stroller.



He wouldn't tell me where we were heading
Then I saw it,
we were at Seuss Landing!


Here I am, running my zoo
What way would you turn, what would you do?


Here I am, me with my Dad
In Seuss landing how could anybody ever be sad?


Me on the Caro-Seuss-el
Boy I am cool.


Next we were off to the Cat in the Hat
When Mom walked up she was told she couldn't ride that.
No, don't even bother
cause your pregnant with my little brother.



Next I went shopping at Mulberry Street store.
They had gizmos, gadgets, goodies galore!

Then I found this sucker at Snookers & Snookers Sweet Candy Cookers



Okay, next we left Seuss Landing so Dad said we could stop the rhyming. If I had to do it anymore I was about to start crying!
The next place up was Jurassic Park. Dad was teaching me about dinosaurs last week at the library and thought this would be a great place to continue the learning.
Here I am with mom looking at Dino eggs. Wow, these guys are pretty friendly. Big too!


Then we found this T-Rex fossil. I couldn't stop looking at those teeth! My feet are little smaller than his too.



Mom & Dad...You're the best!




Mom thought it would be a good idea if I took Marmaduke for a walk. BAD Idea! I was hanging on for dear life.



Then Dad saw this girl who wanted to get a picture with him. I thought she looked a little like a home wrecker. Don't worry Mom, I kept my eye on her the whole time!


Then while we were looking for a place to eat Dad blew out his flip flop. So we decided to stop and waste away for a while in Margaritaville. Dad had a cheeseburger and said it was like paradise. Dad also said Mom was the woman to blame...whatever that means.

Well, that about wraps it up. It was a great adventure. Oh, I almost forgot. To the two people who voted to keep the toilet paper to the back, please do not identify yourself. It would be best for everyone. I told you that was a serious question and would hate to have to tell you we can't be friends anymore.
This weeks poll is based on animals. It tells a lot about you....Cats or Dogs?
Talk to you peeps next week!

Oh, the Places I'll Go!

We'll here I am, starting the real blog! Dad said if I was going to do this I had to do it right. So he got me up early this week to talk over my plans during breakfast. I was a little groggy at first, but after eating his cereal (after my own breakfast) I was ready to go. Man drinking milk off a spoon is hard!



He said since I am such a tech savvy kid maybe I ought to start out by searching the web for ideas. Boy was he right, you can find anything here. A lot of typing and reading.



Even with all the web stuff though I still wasn't sure about what I wanted to do here. So Dad suggested I do it the old fashioned way and go to the library to look for ideas.

Before we could go to the library though we had to go to the store to see Joan since she is back from vacation. While we were there Dad found the coolest invention ever! A bowl with a built in straw!!! I'll never drip milk again :)



Am I glad we went to the library. I found this book by that guy Grandma said Dad wasn't allowed to have as a kid, some Doctor. It was called "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"




I got so excited about all the adventures coming my way

and couldn't help think of what jobs I might do someday.

Then I saw another one of his books about running a zoo

and thought maybe I should read that one too,

you know...just in case that is something I'll want to do.


(Oh boy, I think I am starting to see why grandma didn't want those books around!)



Since I liked the zoo book so much Dad decided to teach me a little about bugs & dinosaurs with some puzzles we found.


After all that brain exercise we decided we were getting hungry. Dad said I could pick where we ate. So I picked McDONALD'S! I hear all the kids talk about these Happy Meals and I really wanted to try one. So he let me!!! Although I thought something was wrong with mine at first. There were no fries, no Dr. Pepper...it had apples and milk! WHAT IS HAPPY ABOUT THAT?!?!



Dad said if I really think about it though, my body will be much happier down the road and so would Mommy. I just looked at him like "Dad, don't try to feed me that, those kids with fries and pop look pretty darn happy to me!"


Then I found something to make me happy, my new friend Chili! He was in the Happy Meal box. I can't stop kissing him.


So now that I am inspired I decided to try out a bunch of jobs around the house to see if I liked anything and I can start practicing for my future. Now when I was on the web I read things about this guy named Joe the Plumber and thought I would give that a try.



That's not going to work! Then I decided maybe I could help that guy who cuts our yard and Dad can pay me!


That is WAY harder than it looks...and it's HOT!
So I decided I was done trying to grow up so fast and I need to start getting ready for my trip to Indiana to take on Grandpa Mike in cards. Look out Grand Pa, I am serious!



Now I know I can't end this blog without answering the question to last weeks poll. First, I must tell everyone how happy I was that you voted. Thank you so much! From my fans perspective the favorite snack was cheesy poofs! Mom voted twice for goldfish so it wasn't really a tie like it said.
However, from my perspective it wasn't like that. Dad put all four snack on one tray and I picked the SLIM JIM first and foremost! Second thing I went for was Cheesy poofs then teddy grahams.


The goldfish on the other hand, well let's just say I shared those with my buddy pancake :)



Thanks for checking in this week and don't forget to vote for next weeks poll. I got the idea from my Joe the plumber job. It's a good one, but it also is a VERY important one!

Until next weeks adventure...Lucy Sky...OUT!!!
