Garrett's preschool has a class pet, Biscuit, the stuffed animal dog. They take turns bring the dog home for the weekend, write a journal about their experiences, take pictures and return and report on Monday.
The last time we had Biscuit at our house for the weekend, we had the small house fire, and I was 9 months pregnant with Taryn, so we were happy that this weekend was much mellower then that weekend visit.
We were so excited to have Biscuit spend the weekend with us. We decided to take Biscuit for a walk around our neighborhood to introduce him to the other dogs. He really enjoyed chasing butterflies and throwing rocks. By the end of the walk both Biscuit and Garrett were pretty tired so we let them ride in the stroller.
On Saturday Biscuit watched us plant some flowers and blueberry bushes. He likes to sit on the shovel and watch us water the new plants. We were so hot after gardening that we decided to fill the pool with water and take a swim. Biscuit was afraid he’d catch a cold, so he sat in the sand box and watched Garrett and Kendall swim.
When we woke up Sunday morning, we were so excited that it was raining. Garrett and Kendall decided to see if their new umbrellas were truly waterproof. Sure enough, they worked!! Biscuit loved splashing around in the rain. Garrett and Kendall enjoyed it a little too.
We brought Biscuit to church with us, but he fell asleep in the car on the way so we decided it was best if he stay in the car and rest. He was excited to hear about what we learned at Sunday school. After Sunday dinner, we read Biscuit’s Complete Storybook Collection. (I’m pretty sure Dad has now read enough Biscuit books to last a lifetime.) We loved having you visit for the weekend, and really glad that this weekend wasn’t as eventful as your last visit. Thanks for coming to our house.
