I LOVE M-A-R-M-I-T-E!

For those of you without Antipodean or English bloodlines you must understand that Marmite is the lifeblood of any good home in the Southern Hemisphere, or Vegemite for those Aussies out there. My Grandad Pete sends Mummy jars and jars of the black sticky magic for my toast. Daddy thinks it repulsive, but Mummy and I revel in it's delightful aroma and magnificent taste!

I will be getting my New Zealand citizenship in the next few months...and I do believe marmite consumption is a requirement. I must tell my cousin Rhys...I'm not sure if his Daddy has him eating Marmite yet.

MMMMMM...MMMMMAAAAAARRRMMMIIIITTTTTTEEEEE!

On Friday it was Mummy and Daddy's SIXTH anniversary, I called up the babysitters to come over and told the folks to go out for the evening. I really like the girls next door, they are really fun. Mum & Dad went to a movie and dinner and got home pretty late. I woke up so I could hear about the movie...apparently they didn't want to tell me about it which is quite rude since I was the one that suggested it in the first place. I decided to serenade them with my renditions of row row row the boat and the wheels on the bus until the wee small hours. Kids are cute huh!

I, Miss Piper Lily Hannah Hoppe plan on becoming the first Asian/American/Kiwi female bullrider..and this my friends and fans is where one must start! Wrangling the wild and wiley vacuum! I managed to stay on the full 8 seconds as required by the international bullriders association. I was however disqualified on a technicality...apparently our whisper quiet kenmore vaccum is not of the appropriate bovine species!

humph....fickle pickle!

I have to tell you, I had a chat with Mummy this week about updating the blog as I think she is becoming a little remiss on the entries...she has promised to post more regularly.

I used this face....it helped! I tried to tell her that it was my only passport to the world outside Wisteria Lane...oops I mean McKnight Circle!

I know this was a few weeks ago, but I thought you might like to see me multi-tasking in the hotel bathroom!

Last night we went to Excelsior on Lake Minnetonka for dinner, we ate sushi at Yumis, it was delicious! I ate rice, chicken and miso soup. Me so crazy for miso!

Daddy saw a lot of fancy cars...there was about a million dollars worth in about 60 feet of sidewalk...crazy huh!

Nana Pam would be proud...I am researching. I'm not sure what I'm researching but I know I'm good at it. Consumer Reports is very interesting you know.
