Hallween 2011...

Here are some photos of me as a wizard this year. As you can observe from the photos, I have this trick-or-treat thing pretty much down. However, I still felt a little shy right after I rang the door bell.

Alright for the really big news...

I now will eat some types of candy. Just a few - gummy bears, laffy taffy, and skittles - and only in very small amounts, but I will eat them.  Here I am eating some of that taffy. However, Good Neighbors D&M had Pirate Booty and fruit strips - those were my most favorite treats. They even had a few fun tricks, too.

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Today we went to Mr. and Mrs. V's tractor farm where Good Neighbors D&M planted pumpkins. I picked out some pumpkins but I also had my first tractor riding/driving experience. After a little apprehension, I was amiable to riding or driving. Here are some photos as well as a very short video of my first tractor driving experience.

 

 

Here's the video of my first tractor ride.

Thanks to Good Neighbors D&M for the wonderful memories. Thanks for Mr. and Mrs. V for being such gracious hosts and raising such fine tractors.

Candy Corn Hat...

Here are some photos of me wearing my new candy corn hat Mom made for me to wear to the pumpkin patch. In the last photo I am posing for the photo so Mom can document the project for her project book. The smile I am demonstrating in that photo is also how I describe the smile we're putting on Mom's pumpkin this year (no teeth on hers).

Next week I head to the pumpkin patch (aka Mr. and Mrs. V's farm) to select a pumpkin. This is what I want my pumpkin to look like. 

I want it to have 4 teeth on top and 6 on bottom. This should make for some interesting carving on Mom and Dad's part.

Costume Preview...

I was so excited when Mom finished my Halloween costume I just had to put it on and look in the full length mirror. I'm going to be a medieval wizard. Here are several photos. I liked them all and could not decide on just one to post...

 

 

 

 

 

Library Time...

Every week, usually on Monday mornings, Mom takes Bebe Sister and me to the library. Ms. Tammie is the librarian who reads to us. I always look for her, even when we make trips to the library not associated with story time. 

 

I usually sit with mom in the chairs at the back of the room. I guess I'm a little shy still. However, this past week, Ms. Tammie asked me if I wanted to sit up by her during story time and I was alright leaving Mom and Bebe Sister behind. 

However, I did jump up a few times in the middle of story time to make some comments about the frog stories we were reading. Then after story time, I met the puppets used during the stories and Ms. Tammie said she was going to name one of them after me. I named the other one for her - Freddie Jr.

Soon, I'll start reading classes with Ms. Tammie but I have to be 4 years old. So, soon. But for now, I'll just keep going to ToddlerTales with Mom and Bebe Sister. My favorite part of story time is the end where I get a stamp on my hand. I always make Mom be especially careful not to wash it off the rest of that day.

Labor Day Weekend...

From our weekend of Oregon Trail walk, playing in the dirt pile, and recreating at the lake.
