Happy Halloween!!

I hope everyone had a happy Halloween! We had such a busy weekend, I can't wait to crash! On Friday, I had a Halloween party with my friends and we did our annual photo line-up. On Saturday, I went to another friend's house for Halloween party #2. They had the yummiest cake there and we all got to do a scavenger hunt. That night, dad carved the scariest pumpkin and it totally scared me, not that I scare easily.

Today, Emma had her Halloween party and we had so much fun. Dogs in costumes crack me up! And Emma even won a prize for best costume (mom dressed her up as a lamb, she was soo soft and fluffy!). After a long nap, we went to a neighbor's house for Halloween party #3. We had pizza and I got to play with all their cars, so much fun! Even though I was getting kinda sleepy (from all the pizza), I went trick or treating with mom and Emma. I never knew how much fun it is to go to people's houses and steal candy from them! Seriously, they just put the bowl in front of you and let you grab whatever you want! I met up with my neighbor, Trinity, and she was so much fun to trick or treat with (she went as Super Woman). I think Emma had fun, too, but no houses had any treats for her. Good thing we went to her party earlier in the day so she didn't feel too left out of all the treats!

Staying Hydrated

Everyone knows you need to drink lots of fluids in the summer when it's hot outside. But I like to carry that philosophy into other times of the year, with water being my drink of choice. Not only does it taste good, but it is super fun to drink. Check out my favorite way to drink water to stay hydrated!

Yummmy Food

So I'm still not a big eater, but there are a couple of things that I just can't live without! Now don't judge me, but my list includes green beans, ice cream and soba noodles. All three are so much fun to eat and make for a very yummy lunch or dinner. I've never had all three at once, but I don't think it would taste very good.

Don't get me wrong, I do still love cheese (had 2 slices of it today for a snack). But I like a new kind of cheese, the kind that involves having your picture taken. When I want to be goofy, mom or dad acts like they are taking my picture and I smile my hardest and say "cheez!". I've really been practicing my smiling, can't you tell?

Goofing Around

In case you didn't know, I am a total ham. At least that's what mom tells me. I love playing around with shoes and socks, but my new favorite thing is this hat. Now it's not the nicest hat, but it's too big for me which makes it absolutely hilarious! It looks funny on mom, too, but she says it's a little too tight on her head. Guess that means this cool hat is all mine!!!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

October sure is a fun month! The weather is getting cooler, but that just means that I can play outside longer than I can when it's really hot outside. There are tons of cool things to play with outside, too! Lots of dry, crinkly leaves, acorns, sticks and pumpkins! Mom and I went to a pumpkin patch on Thursday with some friends and we had so much fun! They had smaller pumpkins, but they were still pretty heavy to me. Mom made some yummy pumpkin bread from them, but I'm really hoping she makes more pumpkin butter since we're all out!

Museum Fun

I've only been to one museum, but if they are all like the Children's Museum in Boston, then all museums are awesome!!! This museum had a huge train table, a bus I could drive, and a real Bobcat! All the activities are on 3 floors and we got to take a cool glass elevator up and down, with a great view of Boston and 2 bridges (great truck and bus viewing!!). There were also tons of cool things that mom called "interactive exhibits". Whatever, I got to play with golf balls and basketballs! Talk about a great way to spend an afternoon!!!

Cars, Cars Everywhere!!!

I love cars. There, I said it. I am actually obsessed with cars and the more I have, the happier I am! In fact, I can hold at least 5 cars in my hands at any given time. And some of my cars make great noises, but I do like to create my own soundtrack with assorted beeps and toots!

Getting Dizzy!

As many of you know, my sweet dance moves mostly consist of dancing in a circle. With a lot of practice, I've totally evolved that into all out spinning fun! It is soo much fun to just spin and get totally dizzy and then fall down! It kinda freaks out Emma a little bit, but I think she's just jealous.

Fall Breakfast

Mom has introduced me to my new favorite breakfast that I'll be enjoying throughout the upcoming fall and winter: steel cut oats. Mom made them a few weeks ago and I have loved it ever since. She makes it super yummy with butter, heavy cream and brown sugar and then gives me a banana on the side. Plus, she lets me sit in the big kid chair scooted right up to the table and I get to keep one car on the table with me. Nothing like having breakfast with a friend!

And I'd like to give a special shout-out to grandma Joyce on her 60th birthday today! Happy birthday, grandma!!!
