Halloween Day!

Happy, happy Halloween! This is the first year I got to choose my own costume and I had such a hard time deciding. I wanted to be a frog, then a crocodile, but in the end I went with...
Peter Pan! Don't I look awesome! I even have a dagger to put in my belt! Of course that was on Saturday and Sunday. Today I was Spiderman at Brady's school and I don't know about tonight yet. Too many choices!

I think my favorite part of Halloween is the pumpkins. See what we made last week? Well, Daddy made most of them. Daddy's is a pirate. Mama's is a sleepy monster. Brady's is a spooky one with sharp teeth. And mine is the little one with big, huge eyes--it's a skeleton!

This is Audrey's. It's Spookley. (Spookley the Square Pumpkin is our favorite Halloween movie). Mama made it with melted crayons.

The pumpkins now sit on our porch and every time I walk out the door I just have to stop and check them out. I lift all their lids, pat their heads, and talk to them. I also like to point out which one is mine. Aren't they great?

BOO! Happy Halloween from me and my spooky family!

Family Beach Day

Not very long ago Pop and Yaya and lots of family came to visit. We did lots of things together--parties, dinners, and play time. One of the best things we did was go to the beach.
I really love the beach.

Yaya loves the beach too. She played with me in the sand and talked to me. She loves me a lot.

Pop played with me too. We made sand castles and walked down to the waves together. Pop is my friend.

This is Uncle Greg, Aunt Courtie, and my cousin Barrett. They came to the beach too. Uncle Greg is fun--he makes great faces (which made Brady laugh). Aunt Courtie is so nice and she smiles like sunshine. But, much as I love them, Barrett is my favorite.

He likes the same games I do. We poured sand on his Mama's legs, filled lots of buckets, and just enjoyed each other. He's just about my size and so nice and quiet. Don't get me wrong--I love Brady and his noisy games, but Barrett is just more my speed.

Barrett and I are more than cousins now. We are friends. I want to see him again very soon--Christmas will do, I guess.

The day we had at the beach was perfect. Family, sand, food, and lots of fun. Mama says next time we see Barrett and the others will be at Christmas and we will play in the snow. That sounds pretty good to me. I think I like snow and I know I love my family. Brady says I'll love Christmas too.

So...when is Christmas then?
