| Trick-or-treater in training. I went to a place where kids could trick or treat before Halloween - Mommy thought I needed to practice. They offered me candy, but I took the apple (that might have really been just for decoration) instead. I'm eating the apple in this photo. |
 |
| Don't I make the cutest Elmo you've ever seen? |
 |
| I'll probably be getting lots of candy so I'll need my wagon. |

 |
| So what are we all doing here in the corner? |
 |
| Nice goat! |
 |
| A week or so ago, we went to the pumpkin patch - Jane was there. |
 |
| Watch out! I'm going to get you! |
 |
| Squishes for Jane. |
 |
| Grandma came for the day - I introduced her to my favorite friends. |
 |
| We went to the aquarium. I touched the seastars. |
 |
| My friend turned 2. |

 |
| There are baby flamingos at the zoo. This little flamingo just hatched - it is less than a week old. |
 |
| The grey flamingos are older babies - between 2 and 6 weeks old. |
 |
| More importantly, there was a a BOUNCY HOUSE at the zoo. I can't believe no one has told me about these things! I love Bouncy Houses! They are my new favorite toy. |
 |
| Every month, Home Depot has a kid's workshop. It's for kids 5-10, but we all know I'm advanced. And our Home Depot is really nice to little people like me. I got a pin. This month we made a firetruck. |
 |
| We got to build a firetruck (mommy put it together for me- I wasn't very good with the hammer - maybe next month) |
 |
| But then I got to paint it - but since no one had painted the parking lot yet, I started there. |
 |
| I got a little paint on my truck. |
 |
| Back at the pumpkin patch - I LOVE this place. All the toddlers know that it's the best place to play in town. |
 |
| Sitting nicely waiting for Mommy to take my picture. |
 |
| Time's up - I'm sliding down the bale of straw now- wheeeee! |
 |
| The big kids were making "straw angles" - I'm copying them. |
 |
| Climb to the top of the bale, slide down, repeat, repeat, repeat. |

 |
| Contemplating my work |
 |
| Several people have asked how we made this image that we posted on Facebook. So here are the instructions. |
 |
| Put a little bit of milk in a bowl (or plate or tray or whatever). We use whole milk but 2% should also work. |
 |
| Add some drops of food color. Don't mix. |
 |
| Add a drop of dish soap and - watch the colors swirl and move. Here you can see where we dropped the soap (orange oval right in the center of picture). |
