Halloween Fun

Over the weekend, I had Halloween plans. On Friday, I had tickets to a Halloween party at the cafe spot with jungle playscapes for kids. It was pretty cool because I got to play but I also got to paint (color) a pumpkin, decorate a cookie, and get a pumpkin tattoo. It was a lot of fun but after a long week, I did not last too long.




After some family time and extra sleep on Saturday, I was well rested for the big festivities on Sunday. Our town had trick or treat on Halloween so we went out that night. Dad lit a fire in the firepit and we hung out and watched the kids pass by. Mom and Dad had two huge bowls of candy and I was sure it was mine but then as these other kids came to our house, Mom was giving it out. I was so confused and was giving some mean looks to these kids who were taking my candy. It wasn't until I got to go walk the neighborhood and trick or treat myself that I understood. Once I got my own candy, I was not so concerned with the candy Mom and Dad had. I even said "trick or treat" and "thank you"! Now the only problem is that I always want some of this candy. I hope Mom and Dad do not catch on and put it "out of sight, out of mind" - I heard them mention it but I sure hope not! I was a lot of fun being older and able to join all the fun!

Fall Weekend With Some of My Favorite People

This weekend was an absolute blast! On Saturday morning, two of my favorite people came into town - Mamaw and Papaw. We had so much fun planned for the weekend and I am glad that they were able to make it to share with me.

On Saturday afternoon, we hung out and got really rested for an exciting evening. We had tickets to the Zoo Boo at our local zoo. Since the zoo is one of my favorite places added with candy and dressing up, I knew we could not go wrong. I got all ready in my costume, the "be-raffe". My godbrother and neighbors also joined us. It was so much fun and I could not believe all of the people! We had so much fun as you can see from the pics.



After an exciting evening, we took it easy today, and after my nap, we headed out to a farm nearby. We had never been there but I have to say that I would love to go back. They had a play area for kids, animal petting, a pumpkin patch, corn maze, donut and cider hut, and well you get the point. I played for a while on the John Deere tricycles then had some fun with the animals. I waited in line for the hayride and was so excited to ride back to the pumpkin patch. As soon as we almost got to the pumpkin patch, the skies opened up and it poured on us. So we skipped the pumpkin patch and rode back. Don't you know that when we got back to the front, the rain had stopped and the sun was back out. Of course! I was able to get a pumpkin after all and enjoy some awesome cinammon donuts and apple cider. Such a wonderful time!

Lots of Updates . . .

Well we are really behind so we are going to quickly catch you up on my life since turning two. Since I turned two, I have become so much more mature and can hold full conversations with people. I have started to settle down from those "terrible twos" and really just enjoying everything.

After my birthday, I had lots of fun activities that came up. I attended the African Festival with Mom and Dad during August and had a ball. I loved the African dancers and drums. It was so fun to watch.

For Labor Day, we went to hang out with Daddy's family and visited the local zoo. I love animals so going to different zoos is always a blast! My favorite animal is the "be-raffe" as I call them, but you may know them as giraffes :) I even picked that as my Halloween costume. We had a lot of fun and I even got to see the be-raffe up close and personal.





The following weekend, Mom and Dad had gotten me tickets to the UniverSoul Circus. We go every year and it is so much fun! I loved it. The tigers were very cool and as you can see, I was mezmerized by the whole thing.



Later in September, we went to visit my cousins because it was my cousin's birtday. We had a fun and I licked all the icing off the cupcakes!

Just a couple of weeks ago, we went to go see Yo Gabba Gabba again. I saw them back in April but this time was so much fun because I am older now and really enjoyed myself with my friends and his Mommy and Daddy. And yes, that is "The" Biz Markie!




That same weekend, I was supposed to go to the zoo with Mommy's friend and her son but I was kinda sick so we had to wait and go later that weekend. It was so much fun and I loved getting my hand painted (wasn't letting them touch my face), walking through the corn maze, the hayride and seeing the animals. It was a blast!





Just last weekend, I helped Daddy to rake the leaves and put them in pumpkin bags to put in the front yard, it was so fun to help!




Right now, I love learning! I am a complete sponge. I love reading and everytime I go to the store, I insist that Mommy and Daddy buy me more. At daycare, I usually like to sit at the table and read while all the other kids play around. It is one of my favorite things to do as well as lay on the floor and watch "Diego". I promise I will stay on Mommy to keep everyone updated - it has been busy around our house but we will do better . . .

My 2nd Birthday and Party

Well I have officially turned 2 years old! Yes, I have been acting like a 2 year old but now it is official! I had a lot of fun! On my birthday which was Friday, Mamaw and Papaw came up early and spent the day with me. We went out to eat and had a lot of fun hanging out with each other. That night we got lots of sleep because on Saturday, it was the big day!

That morning, Mom got up and began putting the finishing touches on the party. This year, I chose Yo Gabba Gabba! because it is my favorite right now. It was a little challenging for Mom and Dad because there is not much out there Yo Gabba Gabba. We got creative and put together some fun things to decorate with and give the other kids.


As the party got started, I could not believe the people who came! It was so fun - my aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, etc. showed for the party. It was a perfect day for weather and we spent the day outside.


I was having so much fun but it was time to get ready for the cake . . . this year, we got cupcakes for the kids and a cake for the adults. It worked out perfectly because the kids got to chose their cupcakes with rings. It was a lot of fun and I certainly enjoyed my cupcake.


Opening presents was fun too but I am only 2 so my attention span is quite short. I opened some of the gifts but let Mom help out and I just checked in to see what all I had gotten. I got the best toys - lots of Little People sets, Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story, Jesse from Toy Story, clothes, and lots of other fun stuff.


It was so much fun and now that I am 2, I have some new things that I am working on . . . I hate wearing my diaper so we have begun the BEGINNING stages of trying to potty train. We are all hoping that moves along quickly. I have my 2 year old appointment on Friday so I will be sure to give the updates!
