To Grandma's House We Go!

Well, I don't have any pictures to add but I just wanted to let you all know that I went on my first solo extended vacation! To Grandma and Baba's house! They picked me up from school on Friday- just in time to skip that pestery old nap time- and kept me for the weekend. I have a nice little list of things I love to do when I visit them and since we had the whole weekend, we got them all in (and then some). Grandma and Baba have a way of making even the most normal things really fun! I went to the clubhouse and got a donut, played on the swings at the park for about 41 hours, went to the train/hobby store, played and played and played with Baba's old trains, played marble game, pool, and every other toy Grandma keeps stashed at her house just for me. Thank you Baba and Grandma for having me over!!!

*side note from Mommy- Breckin went to bed at 6:30 Sunday night (two hours early), slept in til 7 (one hour late), and had to stay home sick on Monday! Way to wear him out Mom!!!

Halloween Night

Alright, Halloween just keeps going. First two pumpkin patch days, then the snack party, then huge trucks with candy and NOW- after a seemingly endless dinner time- trick or treating with Daddy! Finally! Everyone kept telling me I'd get to walk around the 'hood at night and see all my friends walking around and ringing door bells. I've been practicing my very best "Trick or Treat" all week and now it's time to go! However, once I got outside, I didn't see any of my friends. Daddy and I went door to door and all I saw was princesses, ninjas, indiana jones, superheros, and bumble bees. If you were out there, Jonathon or Hope or Isaac, I hope you had fun, too. I got lots of loot that I don't know what to do with and bargaining with Daddy was quite a chore. I'm pretty sure I won, though, cause I got to eat two candies that night. Does this mean I don't get to wear my monkey suit anymore? We might have to talk.......

Candy parties and Big trucks

I love days at school when afternoon snack time consists of jello, cookies, and juice. Whatever this Halloween holiday is all about, I'm in! Everyone wore orange to school and Mommy came during our snack party to take me home early. On the way home, we changed into my monkey suit, grabbed the ol' Thomas candy bucket, and sped off to- da da da DA- Trick or Truck!
What's better than a bunch of candy? A bunch of huge trucks that give you a bunch of candy!!! I could hardly contain myself and had to do some victory dances when I saw that I got to drive the huge trucks. The best part? Oh yeah, that'd have to be when I got to drive the giant dump truck and the driver- we'll call him Bob the Builder- let me tip up the big dumper! Whaaaat? I know, that's what I said, too! I think that or the garbage truck were my favorite. What's your favorite kind of truck? Check out the pictures and let me know....

This is Halloween!

I LOVE Jack the Pumpkin King and anything that has to do with pumpkins, for that matter. I loved pumpkins so much when I went with my school to Maris Farms that I brought my whole family back so they could have as much fun as I did. I'm pretty sure my mission was accomplished cause Daddy got to ride a monster truck and Mommy got to jump with me on the biggest pillow I've ever seen. Hey, aren't there supposed to be a whole mob of people that go pumpkin picking with us? Yeah, I'm talkin to you: Bobby, Aaron, Mo, Maggie, and Natalee. What gives? Courtney was the only trooper this year and I think we ran her ragged with train rides, monster trucks, the jumpy pillow, tractor driving, wheel barrow racing, slides, bouncy houses, and- oh yeah- pumpkins. Good times.
