The way weekends should be.

Our weekends are usually pretty hectic - errands or travel or house guests. This is a rare Saturday morning where we went at our own pace. Dad's reading the paper while I'm finishing off a book. Good times indeed.

Dad's 36th.

Always being helpful, I am giving Dad a few pointers in how to blow out the candles. I also helped Mom make the cake. "More chocolate," I said. "That will make him happy."

80's hair.

I look like some of the people in Dad's high school year book.

Visit from the Thomases.

The Thomas twins (and their parents) came to visit recently. Their dad ran in a local marathon, and we benefited by having them stay with us. It was kind of cold outside, so you can see the energy was starting to build up. Do you see me in the first picture? It's kind of like "where's waldo." Later we spent a little time looking at shapes in the clouds.

I voted.

On election night, I helped Mom to get dinner ready. I probably need to get a Maeve size apron.

New fashion look

My hair has become very long and the barettes are less effective at keeping my hair back out of my face. My parents just cannot quite bring themselves to get my haircut. They are worried about the curls not coming back. Mom set me up with a pig tail, which I rather enjoyed.

Halloween part 2

Yesterday was a trial run, and tonight is for real. After an inspection of the pumpkin (carving-well done Dad and candle-should illuminate nicely), I indicated to my parents that we were open for business. The kids came and Dad gave out the candy. Seems like the candy disappeared faster than the kids came. Hmmm. After it got dark, I waited at the bottom of the steps inside for a knock and the arrival of "big kids".

Halloween part 1

Every Thursday I go to music class with Mom. It isn't terribly formal. Just forty-five minutes of grooving to tunes and dancing. Last week was the photo day and dress-up day. Last year I was a penguin. Now a cat-ears and tail and I'm off. Mom added the whiskers when we got to class. Katie and Davis are my classroom buddies. We hung out at the pool some this summer, too.
