Abby the Zebra

Our new neighborhood is awesome. There are so many kids to play with, and so much fun stuff to do! Eleanor & I usually go out at 10:00, come back at 12:30 for lunch, go back out at 1:00, and come back home at 5:30. We ride bikes, play spidermonkey, make rainbow loom bracelets, walk dogs, have lemonade stands, jump on trampolines, & have water gun fights. Mom says she didn’t know that kids just go outside and play with each other all day anymore. All of the kids to play with is probably one of my favorite things about this neighborhood.

A few days ago, we all decided to try something new: Facepaint! We certainly weren’t professionals, but we weren’t that bad, either. After I told everyone that my favorite animal is a zebra, one of the girls decided to try and paint my face to look like a zebra. It took several attempts & about half an hour, but here is the finished product (I think it turned out pretty well)!

Moving Day!

We moved! We actually moved a few days ago, but I forgot to write a blog post, so I’m writing one now. The day we moved, we went over to our new house at 7:00 in the morning, and Mom, Eleanor & I ate breakfast there. We had doughnuts (Yum!).

Elsa got a new bed for the new house, and as you can see, she did not want to sleep on it at first.

We spent a few hours at the new house, where I went outside to play with some neighbors, and Eleanor did her school’s virtual fun day over zoom. Then, around 10:30, Mom, Eleanor, Elsa & I all went back to our old house, because the movers were bringing our furniture over and they didn’t want too many people around. They were done around noon, so we went back to our new house, and spent the rest of the day unpacking.

We finished the day with some food from a bbq restaurant in Mahomet, Project 47. It was a really good day, and I really like our new house & neighborhood. I’m glad we moved!

The Upside of Packing

On Sunday, Dad was going through some old boxes, and he found his old Nintendo. He tried to set it up, and it worked (well, it was a little slow at first, but it did work eventually)! Dad showed Eleanor & me some of the games he used to play on it, like Zelda & Starfox. They were pretty cool, and a lot like some of the video games I play now.

Social Distancing - Haircuts

Yesterday, Mom cut Eleanor & my hair! I cut a lot off, as you can see, and Eleanor had her ends cut. You can’t really tell she cut it because her hair is wet, but when it’s dry, it’s definitely shorter.
