Trippin' on Trick-or-Treatin' on Monday, October 31, 2011

I had soooo much fun trick-or-treating. Did you know that if you knock on people's doors on Halloween night, they give you candy?? At a few houses, I was able to get a piece for me, a piece for Mommy, and a piece for Daddy. I was so excited that I ran between houses and met lots of other kids along the way. I also flat-out refused to wear a jacket over my costume. All of my muscles kept me warm. What a fun night! And, it was just as much fun to come home and sort out all of the treats. My pick for the evening: Starbursts!

Happy Birthday to Dad! on Sunday, October 30, 2011

On this Halloween Eve, I am excited to report two more opportunities to wear my Halloween costume! We hosted a Halloween playdate on Thursday, and then I went to a Halloween party at buddy, Ronan's house today. Let me tell you--everyone is always happy to see Superman! In between the parties, we celebrated Daddy's birthday and welcomed Nanny and Grandpa for the weekend. Happy Birthday, Daddy! And, even a happy early birthday to Grandpa.

It's a bird... It's a plane... on Sunday, October 23, 2011

It is hard to believe that I was resisting a costume just a week ago. My plan was to be a "trick or treater". But, after a trip to Party City with their wall of costumes, I became Superman! And, I was the hit of the first of our Halloween parties--flying around, staying in character the entire night, asking all the ladies to feel my muscles, and being a good citizen. I can't wait to wear it again--in fact, I have! We have also enjoyed more beautiful fall weather, especially down in St. Mary's County (at a real farm) with special friends.

Smartphoning on Friday, October 21, 2011

My mom finally took the plunge and got a smart phone, the new iPhone 4S. So, you may start to see some cool mobile pics, enhanced today with the app Instagram. Here I am standing outside of school wearing a mask I made.

Catching Up on Friday, October 21, 2011

Gotta catch up--let me fill you in on some of my October happenings through pictures!

I spent a morning at National Harbor with Daddy. I talked about Peeps, Mike and Ikes and Hot Tamales for days! National Harbor has a whole store just for these candies. I also played on the sculpture, "The Awakening".

Went to Firehouse Open House one Saturday morning.
Very cool!

Enjoyed the October birthday celebration!
Have I mentioned before how much I love my cousins!

Went for a hike
(though did not do so much hiking on my own).

Happy Half Birthday to Me! on Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Like we need an excuse to eat cupcakes!
I owe you some pics from my weekend
(including some really cool Daddy time).
Coming soon!

Highlight of My Day on Saturday, October 8, 2011

Today was one of those days--I could not just pick one highlight. There were so many, including SUNSHINE, a quick trip into Daddy's office (where I get to write on the walls), Charlie's birthday party at the firehouse, and a fall festival at Temple Hills Regional Park out in Leesburg. Fun! Who had time for a nap? (corn cob launcher^)

Weather Change on Sunday, October 2, 2011

It seems like just a few days ago I was running around in shorts and working up a sweat on the playground. Today, we are bundled in fleece and hats! I am enjoying this change of season. We have talked about apples, pumpkins, and autumn in preschool. Leaves are beginning to cover the ground in our backyard. And, just this weekend, we started putting up Halloween decorations. I even ate a few candy corn. I do declare that fall is here!
