TRUNK or TREAT!

Today, after a long day at the local pumpkin patch, we went to the church that hosts me & Tori's Kids Day Out program and they had a "Trunk or Treat" day so we got to dress up in our Halloween costumes a week earlier and get a jump start on our cavities! Mommy always likes us to have matchy, matchy costumes (next year I'll be putting an end to that!) and this year Tori is obsessed with Tinkerbell so guess who I got to be? You guessed it - Peter Pan. Although most people kept saying, Ahhhh... how cute - Robin Hood! Oh well, I did look pretty cool if I do say so myself and I got myself a pumpkin full of candy to take home - although I ate more than have of it in the car!

Mommy got a new do!

Mommy finally accepted the fact that she hates wearing her hair in a ponytail day in and day out so she had enough and got Ms. Erin to chop it all off! I think it looks pretty nice and Mommy does too!

Mahaffie's Wild Wild West!

Last weekend there was a local event at the Mahaffie Farm called the Wild West Show - it was a lot of fun! We've never been before but it is for sure going to be a yearly event for our family! We got to do lots of pony rides - my first time ever! - and I had a blast! We also got to try all sorts of free samples of food prepared at different chuck wagons - Mommy and Daddy were very impressed by the different foods they prepared with such minimal cooking equipment - it was delicious! And the thing that I am most excited about is next year, I am going to enter in the sheep riding contest! It reminded us of seeing people getting bucked off of bulls! Daddy tried to sneak me out into this year but Mommy refused - she said that I was too little but I sure did want to go! Mommy is scared that I'll get hurt so she'll probably make me look a dork and wear a bicycle helmet but I got a whole year to work on her!

MOPS Marigolds

Last Spring at MOPS, Mommy did a craft where they planted marigold seeds in a tiny cup - she took them home and transferred it and lo and behold, look how many flowers we have still even now! Not even with me going out there every day and plucking them all the time has ruined them!

Pyro-man strikes again...

I am going to be the death of Mommy - literally. Today, while we were all outside playing on the swing, Mommy popped inside really quick to leave a note for Jerry & Will's mommy to let her know we were outside in the backyard and she noticed a "burnt plastic" smell... She checked the stove and even the dishwasher trying to track it down and even asked Marsha to come smell... she kept racking her brain to see where the smell could be coming from... and then she remembered what happened to Victoria's panties earlier in the year... so she quickly ran to look at the overhead foyer light and sure enough - smoke was pouring out of it!

She quickly retrieved the ladder and looked up in it and there was my lovey item - "Dog-Dog" that I sleep with every night!!! I apparently came into the house, went up 3 flights of stairs, went to my room, got Dog-Dog and "Kit-Kat", Dog-Dog's partner, my other lovey item, and threw them at the light over the banister and came back outside without Mommy noticing - no comments about that please. Kit-Kat was on the floor under the light so luckily, his fate was spared but Dog-Dog was not so fortunate.

Mommy is very distraught to think that I almost burned the house down - again. I think that this time though Mommy got the point across to me because she made me look at Dog-Dog after she pried his melted mess out of the light and the sight of him so visibly disfigured has scarred me for life. Both Victoria and myself sobbed with fear in our eyes and could not bear to look but Mommy made us - she even tried to get me to touch it but it was too much to handle. But I think I "get it" now - throwing things into the foyer light is not a good thing to do. It kills things.

Now, the next adventure is going to be to see how I go to sleep tonight without Dog-Dog. Stay tuned...
