Vivi's everywhere!

Weekend pictures - Home Depot and Owls in Wonderland festival

At home depot kids workshop -- making a boat

Playing with finished boat (left) and airplane (right - from last month). Vivi loves playing with the toys she makes herself.

At an elementary school festival.

Painting

Making music

More painting -- she is so focused when she paints.

This was supposed to be a croquet maze. Vivi decided she was the croquet ball.

Trick-or-treat

Costumes on. Trying out light and bell.

The crew - ready to roll.

Trick-or-treat!

Wow. Look at this house!

Vivi had a great time trick-or-treating. But she had an even better time handing out candy after she finished trick-or-treating. She was shouting from the door "Come to Vivi's house. Vivi's house has candy!"

Headlights on the Trolley

The trolley costume now has a working headlight that Vivi can control with a little button. I used "LittleBits" (electronic manipulatives) and a little plastic food container. Now we just need a little bell and to put the wheels back on and we are ready for tomorrow. 

Getting ready for Halloween

Vivi wants to be the "neighborhood trolley" from Mr. Rogers/ Daniel Tiger's neighborhood. Here are the preparations so far....

A cardboard box ... and some duct tape

Vivi colored the characters from Daniel Tiger's neighborhood and taped them in the windows

Trying it out

We're almost finished. We need to do the front/back of the trolley.

Oct 27

Vivi picked up her ukelele and started playing it like this (she's holding a fern leaf like a violin bow). I have no idea where she's even seen a violin played.

Sharing toys and reading to Aina's little brother

Thank you granny for the dress!

Whee!

Butterfly - with flapping wings.

Look closely at this photo. Vivi folded the edges of the paper together, checked to see if they opened and closed and then colored in the two folded in sides and the area between the sides. I had no idea what she was doing. In the end, she told me it was a "butterfly" --with wings that flapped.

Last weekend

Culinary Delights

Vivi has become quite the creative culinary artist. This weekend she got to choose what we had for breakfast. We had waffles and broccoli.

Today, she requested "getti" (spaghetti) and raisins.

She's putting the raisins in the spaghetti
