Whirlwind of a Day

Today Mommy and Daddy dumped me off with Don, Amy and Henry Light so they could head over to Gretchen and Chad Frampton's to help them out with a few projects around the house. Gretchen has been on bed-rest for weeks and weeks as she is pregnant with twins and one guy can't take care of two kids, work a fulltime job and get all the projects around the house done too. It wasn't really like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but Mom and Dad were glad to pitch in and I had a great time with my pal Henry at the Woodland Park Zoo's member appreciation day.

After an all-too-brief 30 minute nap it was off to my first day at Sponge for my sophomore year of Spanish studies. Admittedly I was a bit of a turd since I was operating on basically no nap, but I did manage to get in an hola and an adios. We are going to HAVE to get my class switched to the mornings or this is simply not going to work out.

Next on the agenda was to congregate at Ballard's Senor Moose Cafe which features handmade regional Mexican fare. Joining us were: Nana and Papa, Bob and Mary Wildenhaus, with Henry, Don and Amy Light. We supped and had a merry time. Daddy didn't like is mole though... Too bitter.

From here we all, ironically sans the Lights, headed to Green Lake to participate in the annual Light the Night fundraiser. Mommy managed to raise over $500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! It was a beautiful evening and there were thousands of people out with their illuminated red balloons.

After a long day with no nap, I was done. We were joined at home by the aforementioned for a bit of pear cobbler, but I had to check out for the day. Hopefully we'll have our nap routine dialed a bit better tomorrow.
