My Boys

Angus and Jo-Jo don't get their share of photos taken anymore, but they still get lots of love and cozy comfort! Here they are all cuddled up on the couch today:

Me as a Mermaid

One day last week Miss Chris asked Mommy if I'd like to bring home a very special hand-me-down: a Little Mermaid dress up dress. Of course we said YES PLEASE! On our way home we had to make a quick stop at Wegman's, and I asked Mommy if I could wear the Ariel dress into the store. Not only did I wear it all through the grocery store, but I kept it on all evening long (and even wanted to sleep in it!). Thanks for sharing it with us, Miss Chris and the girlies!

Halloween 2009

What an awesome day we had on Halloween. We went on a fun fall hike in Durand Eastman Park, had dinner at Pizzeria Uno's (thanks for the Make Your Own Pizza coupon, Miss Chris!) and joined our friends the Riedel's and others for trick-or-treating. I continued my tradition of dressing up as an animal (see my past costumes - ladybug and puppy). This was the first year I actually chose my own costume. I was really excited to dress up as a giraffe, but I wasn't too sure about the head (hood) of the costume. After refusing to wear it at all every time we tried the costume on, I surprised Mommy and Daddy by keeping it on almost the whole time we trick-or-treated! We had a great time and almost every night since then I have gotten to enjoy one piece of my candy. Last night I told Mommy and Daddy "I love candy SO MUCH!" Of course they keep on reminding me that candy is only a "sometimes food." I always ask for "chocolate...a BIG one!" Check out the slideshow for lots of photos from our fun day!

Zoo Boo 2009

I love my giraffe costume (well, except for the hood) and what better place to debut such a cute little animal than the Zoo Boo?

3rd Annual Pumpkin Carving

Saturday night marked out 3rd annual Pumpkin Carving festivities.
(Click to see the 1st and 2nd annual events.)

Daddy and I get busy with the design phase:

Listen to how grateful I am when I hear that Daddy is making this Jack-o-lantern for ME!

Daddy takes off my pumpkin's head and shows me the guts - his red eyes just add to the creepiness. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this!



Back to work on my own masterpiece:



The final result:


Outside to set up our little Pumpkin / Jack-o-lantern Family!

Open House

Last Thursday Mommy and I went to Open House at her school. She is actually teaching in 3 different schools this year, but this is the Open House at the school she's been teaching at for the last 4 years, and the one that all of my Webster friends go to. We met up with Miss Chris, Maggie and Courtney (Bridget was home sick), saw Maggie's and Bridget's classrooms, and got to enjoy some yummy ice cream in the cafeteria. I saw TONS of my other Webster friends too! It was so much fun. A highlight of my evening was visiting Traci's classroom and playing with her "reading buddies." What a fun night!
