Halloween Revisited

These were two of our favorite Halloween pictures:

Waiting.....

I'm not so sure that any of these kids were willing participants in this picture.

Princesses on Ice

Daddy and I went to see the princess ice skating show. I loved it all, but was REALLY excited to see the dwarfs.

The finished product

Jack-O-Lanterns!

I helped Daddy pick out two of the pumpkins we could find. Here I am serving as creative director on the design of our jack-o-lanterns.

I did NOT like Daddy's faces. They were too scary - so I offered him some constructive criticism on how he might make them more happy.

I wouldn't help Mommy scoop out the insides. I told her that I was scared of the orange part.

This song NEVER gets old.

Daddy might disagree with me, though.

I LOVE Halloween

I have been talking about it for at least a month, planning my costume and changing my mind about my costume several times. Here are the finalists - luckily I had several opportunities to wear them, so I got to mix it up a bit.

Option Number 1: The Little Mermaid

I wore this to a trick or treat party at my school and

then to a party and parade at school on Monday.

Option Number 2: Supergirl

This was a late addition - I actually borrowed this from my cousin Macy to wear to a superhero party in November, and loved it so much it immediately went to the top of my list. I wore it to school on Friday, to my friend Luke's Halloween party Saturday night, and around the house A LOT. I fly around the house, rescuing people in trouble with hugs - Mommy, Daddy and Reba have all been in some pretty precarious predicaments lately.

And finally, the witch. It started out as the front runner, and I wore it around the house a lot. I was way into spooking people early on. Much to Mommy and Daddy's dismay, the witch didn't make it out of the house.

Big News

I am going to be a big sister to twins, just like my favorite cartoon heroine, Dora the Explorer. I think that our new babies will be a lot like hers, which is why I have been calling them the "Super Babies." They should be here after Christmas!

Hello again.

We've been busy, and kind of forgot about the blog for a while. A lot has changed since the last time we talked, so here are a few of my (current) favorite things:

I had a birthday and, more importantly, a birthday party. It was awesome. There is no doubt in my mind that a birthday party is the most fun you can have, whether it's yours or someone else's.

For my birthday, I got a bounce house. While I sometimes enjoy bouncing by myself, it's much better with company.

I love singing - to myself, my dolls, Mommy and Daddy...anyone that will listen. I sometimes sing even when no one is listening. (This is the song from Sleeping Beauty.)

Speaking of Sleeping Beauty, I love princesses. But really, who doesn't? (This video is several months old, so my stories have gotten much more involved - Princess Daddy usually plays with his friend, Princess Lucy these days. They like to "play toys.")

I love baby dolls. This is the cast of characters who sleeps with me every night, all together, up at the top of the bed (L-R:Dopey, Baby Miss Iva-she's naked and doesn't have any clothes which is very awkward because she was named after my teacher, Big Baby, Pocket Baby, Baby Sasha, and Dolly). I will not sleep unless everyone is where they are supposed to be.

Hide and seek. Best game ever.

And last, but definitely not least, I love accessories. Hats, fancy shoes, sunglasses, purses, "bra-ce-lets," rings-you name it, and I will wear it.

Some interesting conversations...

I am quite the chatterbox these days. This morning, when we went to the kitchen for breakfast, the conversation went like this:

Me (in a sad, pouty little voice): "Some cookies?"
Mommy: "No, we're not going to have cookies for breakfast. Would you like an egg sandwich?"
Me (still sad and pouty): "No."
Mommy: "Would you like a muffin?"
Me (as sad as I could make it): "No. Like pancakes."

Of course, I got the pancakes :-)

A little while later, as Mommy was helping me put on my jeans, I looked at her and said, "I LOVE you." (Emphasizing the "love." A first! Daddy says Mommy is bragging on this one, but I have said I love you to Daddy before, just not to Mommy.)

Happy Halloween!
