Bird's eye view...
Hello everyone - what a blessed day is has been celebrating my first Mother's Day. We had a special morning out to breakfast and getting plants and seeds for our garden. John and Quinlan were very good to be today and I wouldn't feel more blessed and honored to Quinlan's mama!
The below post is something that Quinlan wrote himself a few weeks ago (wink, wink) and I am just finally getting to post it. It is about his papa so even though this is Mother's Day, I just had to post it - it's so adorable! :) Have fun reading from this bird's eye view...
Hey Blog Checkers- My Mama and Papa have been quite busy during the last couple of weeks, so they asked if I would go ahead and throw a blog together with some pictures. Let's see what Q-man can generate. I thought it would be fun to go ahead and share with all of you some of my favorite things to do with my Papa. So during this week I will go ahead post one activity that I really enjoy and try to throw in a picture or two. Ready or not here we go.
Helping with Yardwork- Papa needed to go ahead and put some turf builder down on the lawn, and he asked if I could help. I was so excited when he said yes, but I told Papa he better make sure that it was not harmful to be around. He checked and it was safe for me. He put me in the Snugli and away we went up and down the yard. Papa was telling me how he enjoyed using the spreader, because it reminded him off spreading manure on fields as a young boy. The time went by so fast, but Mama told me the reason was because I fell asleep. I still had a great time with Papa.
My Puppy Linus- During the last couple of weeks I have really started to notice my puppy Linus. He is a good puppy. Papa and I play with him a lot. I really like when they play fetch with the ball in the house or play tag by running the circle through the hallway, kitchen, dining room, and living room. Linus can do some great spin-outs! Linus also likes to play tug-of-war with his Linus blanket with Papa. Linus also gives good licks, which are much softer than the cats. Papa doesn't really mind if I get licks from Linus, but Mama makes sure it is only a couple. Papa once told her that it is not that big of deal, since Linus's licks are cleaner than the ones that come from Mama and Papa. I can't figure that out since Mama and Papa brush their teeth, but Linus just licks himself. Maybe Grandpa Jim can explain this, since he is a vet. I LOVE LINUS!
Story Time- I enjoy having books read to me. Mama reads a couple of books each day to me, but Papa is a good reader too. He can get quite expressive with some of the stories. He likes to try to create suspense with the books which is fun, but is not necessary since I know what happens with each of the books. But he does do a good job with making some of the animal noises, especially lambs. He needs some help with making the noise of a chicken. We do have a good time reading books and I am hoping maybe next summer he will start reading some big-people books like Thomas the Train.
Playing Airplane- This is my favorite thing to do with Papa. An hour or so after a feeding Papa scoops be up and asks me if I want to go flying. It is always an automatic YES! He takes me flying throughout the house and I love when he takes the corners real sharp. Every once in a while I have to close my eyes because we are get going so fast or I get startled because he pulls up in front of a mirror. I guess with the big planes they have barfbags, but Papa was not able to find one that would fit me, so this is where my puppy Linus helps out. Linus will normally follow us through the house and if I get an upset stomach Linus will clean up the remains if Mama doesn't beat him to it. I LOVE PLAYING AIRPLANE!!!!!
The Harmonica- Well, I won't classify this as one of my favorite things to do with my Papa, but I know he gets a huge kick out of it, so I will include it in this post. My Papa HAS a harmonica, you saw that I emphasised HAS and not “plays” the harmonica. He has a couple of tunes he can blow out, but nothing that soothes me or puts me to sleep. For some reason every time Papa plays the harmonica I develop a huge frown and then I generate two quick WHAA's and then I start smiling again and he plays it again and I do the same thing. I don't know why, but Mama and Papa get a huge kick from it. Papa has a long ways to go before he is able to play like Great Grandpa Rundquist, so in the mean time I will keep playing this game with Papa.
The END- Well I guess this is where I stop. I do love hanging out with my Papa. We have a good time, but I can't forget about Mama - she's just the best Mama! I love Papa, Mama, Linus, Motor, Lilly, and all of you!!!!
