Happy Halloween

What a weekend.  I am having so much fun, though not always 100 percent certain of what is happening, it seems to involve a LOT of people talking about how cute I am as an elephant and ooing and awing over me.  I'm ALWAYS a fan of that. 

Today we spent the day at the zoo, riding on the train and visiting the animals.  We even got to participate in a costume parade (whatever that is...I just think we sort of walked around the zoo following the leader with a bunch of nutso parents running to get in front of their children to take photos....my Mommy included in this madness). 

After the zoo, we went on a trick-or-treating extravaganza....first at the local mall and the in the neighborhood around us.  We got a LOT of loot.  The only thing is that Mommy doesn't appear to be letting us eat much of it. HMMM....I believe the next few days of my brother and my life will be dedicated to finding a way to get to that candy.  Good luck Mommy!  The battle begins...

A spooky kooky weekend

It is a Halloween weekend extravaganza!  Today we went to a cemetary......

....for a Halloween carnival!  We went to a Haunted House.  We crawled through hay stacks.  We got our faces painted.  And....we laughed! 

We got to wear our costumes today.  All the kids were dressed up and we saw some pretty great costumes out there.  Mommy told us that we were the cutest (she could be just a bit biased though). 

So far, I'm loving this Halloween thing.  Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Happy Carving

It's carving day 2010.  This year I got a pumpkin too!  Boy, pumpkin carving is a very messy proposition. 

But it sure is FUN!

One year ago today...

...Mommy and I walked down the courthouse steps in Arusha, Tanzania and we were a family. 

Today we celebrated with some special treats and some spooky fun! 

Potty Chair

Well, Mommy's been a bit slow on the potty chair plan with me.  But, finally we are cracking down and getting this show on the road.  Today, I went potty on the potty chair just like a big girl!  YAY for me....

Shopping Day

Today was a girls day.  Mommy, Bada and I went to the mall.  We shopped and shopped and shopped....till we nearly dropped.  We had to take some time out to refule....

Yummy lunch at Nordstrom and then....back to our shopping marathon!

Pumpkin Tour 2010

Lest you might worry that we might have passed up the opportunity to enjoy yet another pumpkin patch, do not worry we could not resist. 

The lure of the corn maze and hayrides drew us right in.  We may actually be able to start a pumpkin patch on our front portch with all the pumpkins we have collected on our pumpkin patch tour this year. 

But, who can resist....just look at all the fun we had!
