ALL GOOD!

Just last night the lady on the t.v. said LaLa's house is safe for reals! She used words like "mandatory evacuation lifted." The words are too big for me to understand, but Mums says that means we won't have to leave the house any time soon and stay in a hotel again. And Mums is not watching too much t.v. For a while there it seemed as if her face was stuck to the t.v. It was always the same channel too. I would always see fire trucks and fire fighters playing with water on the fire. I think the fire figthers are super heroes because they are the one putting the fire out and saving people. I have an Uncle who's a fire fighter in Oak-Land. He's always talking about his adventures and every day he uses his super hero powers to help people.

We're still waiting on Titi's house - she can't go back home yet. The cool fire fighters still need to fix the fire and make sure no one will get hurt.

So for now, we're all here at LaLa's and Dadd's house having a grand 'ole time - drawing, playing board games, watching movies and playing with my trains. We still can't go outside because of the flying ashes and the smoke.

Sights of the FIRE

Here are some shots taken from LaLa's and Dadd's house. Do you see the red sky? And this was in the afternoon! It was suppose to be a sunny time, but today it was dark.



The circle thingy are the ashes falling from the sky. I guess you can think of it snow, but when you breathe it would make you cough. That's why Mums and TiTi made us wear masks.

Burn, baby Burn!

When we first arrived in Sun Dyago, it was pretty nippy and windy. Nice weather. The kind I'm use to in Sisco. But now...mann-oh-mann...it's like the last time we were here. It's hot and hard to breath when you go outside. So hot it makes the grass and trees burn.

I've never seen so much smoke! Well, when Pops bbq, but this smoke is all around. You smell it when you go outside and you see white stuffy-stuffs on the cars and flowers outside. Lolo Dadd closed all the windows in the house and just turned on all the fans. Mums says we can't go outside either so I'm riding my scooter in the house. When you look at the sky it's red - the moon is red too! A picture I forgot to take. And when you look past all the red, you can't see nothing but smoke.

Mums says she doesn't like all the fires, but because it's so hot, there's going to be more. So far the man on the t.v. said there are 9 fires here. I know 9 is before 10, but I really don't know if that's a lot. Maybe when I run out of fingers it'll be a lot.

Last night Mums packed a small bag for me and Ading Sissy. She called it our "Evac bag." There's even bottles of water and Pediasure in there. Some man knocked on the door and told us to do that just in case.

Granny says to lock all the doors because of looters. I don't know what a looter is, but Mums couldn't stop laughing.

Finger Lickin' Good

Pops is gone. So Mums decided we might as well be gone too - well, at least to Sun Dyago.

Pops will be in Two-Tucky *Kentucky* for many, many, MANY days. That means I'll be in Sun Dyago with Mums and Ading Sissy for the same many days.

I'll let you know all the fun things I'll be doing here!

target practice

Mums and Pops have me on this routine where I'm pee'ing in the big boy potty now. I still wear my pampy-pamps but only for protection from puddles. That's what Pops says.

At first I didn't want to pee, but then I saw Pops standing. So I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't quite make it inside the potty...I'd say more around the potty. So Mums threw my breakfast in the potty! She says the next time I go pee-pee, I can "shoot the Che.erios."

I stared at my breakfast for a while. Why would she do that? I was going to eat it, promise....I looked at the colorful O's and still didn't understand why they were floating in the potty. Gosh, I hope Mums doesn't make eat my breakfast in the potty...

She didn't.

She gave me more cereal in my bowl, and after eating breakfast, she brought me back to the potty to "shoot the Che.erios." I still didn't get it, but I got in position.

squeeze the butt...squeeze, squeeze, squeeze...nothing...push...

I pee'd! And I got to shoot the Che.erios! It was so fun, now every time I go potty I get to throw some in there for practice.

GO kashi YOURSELF!

I took a road trip to GGP today. This time we didn't visit my usual bird feeding spot. Mums took a detour and we visited the new Kiddie park. It was super duper kewl!!! There were stuff the climb, slide, stand, swing, sit, hang, throw and even get wet in. I liked how there was a play place for the big kiddies and not-so-big kiddies. I liked climbing in the smaller play area, but the slide for the big kiddes was more fun. I think it's because they were longer.

Speaking of slides, there was a special slide for EVERYONE. The super-duper slide of all time. So super-duper you need a piece of cardboard to sit on just so you can slide down like a super hero. Did I try it? Of course I did. I ate it too...

...yeah, don't wear shoes when you go down that slide. Or else it can bang up on the side, make you stop, flip you over, then slide down on your tummy. And when you get to the bottom, you cry because you hit your head from all that flip flopping.

And I have no idea what Mums was clapping about saying "Yeah, you fly like Super.Man." Ummmm, hello! I'm crying here because I got hurt. Not because I'm a super hero. Well, I won't be going down that slide any time soon.

But the park was so fun I didn't want to go home. I really liked the swings too. I think i can swing by myself now. Easy.

Enough about the swings. We weren't the only ones at the park. I saw other kiddies there with their Mums too...Mums has a special name for them and called herself "the token brown girl" at the park today compared to the other Mums. Just because she was wearing sweats, tennis shoes and pony tails.

This is for the Mums thinking that about my Mums....

...So what I was wearing a cap instead of a sunhat from Cool.i.bar. So what I wasn't slathered with organic sunscreen. So what my snack was D.ora yogurt and a cookies-n-cream bar instead of Kas.hi whatevers. So what I wear Pam.pers instead of some organic hemp clothy one. So what I kept my pants on and played in the play area instead of rolling around naked in the yucky sand water. So what Mums and Ading Sissy sat on the grass instead of a prissy picnic blanket....you took all the shade anyways! Bite me!
