Scary Pumpkin

 

Daddy and I worked hard tonight. Remember that pumpkin we brought home from the Fall Festival at church? Well, Daddy and I opened it up, scraped all the guts out, and then Daddy carved a scary, scary face on it. It was beautiful! And then when he was done, we took it outside, put lights inside it, and started scaring people who had never seen such a scary pumpkin.

The Silly Juggling Man

 

This has been a busy month. First swings, then pumpkins, and then our neighborhood brings a juggler to make us laugh during the Fall Festival. He juggled everything -- tennis rackets, apples, small children, churches, lead, and maybe a duck. Oh, and I forgot fire. He was amazing.

Maybe I want to be a juggler. Maybe...I could juggle pumpkins...on a swing!

Splish splash, he was takin' a bath..

 

Our church had a Fall Festival this weekend, and there was a funny man who got to take baths with his clothes on. He needed help to take the baths, so I made sure he got a good cold bath by throwing a ball at a target. It was fun (but I don't want to take baths with my clothes on, they get squishy!)

Pumpkins are my favorite thing

Ok, I was wrong. Pumpkins are my favorite thing. I LOVE Pumpkins. Daddy got to drive me home in a wagon with a big big pumpkin.

Swing swing, I love to swing

 

Is there anything better than swinging...in the whole world? I used to think bottles were the best thing. But I outgrew that. Then I thought that horsies were the best thing. But I outgrew that. But now I'm sure swinging is the best thing -- and I'm never going to outgrow swinging.

The Posse Returns

 

We went to a park in Georgetown to see a re-enactment of the old Chisholm Trail cattle runs. We also got to see the Williamson County Sherrif's Posse ride by - and here's one of the riders!

Rah Rah Ree!

On Saturday nights, I go and cheer for my cousin Jake. He's the biggest and strongest player on the Navy Tigers, a football team of very big boys. I'm the only cheerleader, which makes me...the best!

More Pictures of Baby Jane

 

Somehow, and I don't understand this so don't ask me, somehow my Mommy can have pictures taken of her insides. And as you know, inside Mommy is Baby Jane.

I thought that Baby Jane would be asleep all the time. After all, it's warm and dark in Mommy's belly, and Jane can't watch Diego or play with toys, so she must be sleeping. But I was wrong. Baby Jane was jumping around. And doing what Mommy calls "The Princess Wave". Look at the top picture and you'll see what Mommy means!

I love my bike, but

 

I love my bike. It's true. I love it.
But...
My legs are a little too short to reach the pedals. And having your legs dangle does get a little boring after a while. So I decided to get off the bike, and start running. Here I go!

I Got a Bike!

 

I can't believe it! I got a big girl bike! Mommy and Daddy took me to the store and let me pick it out. I love my bike. It has a basket on the back, and a bar so Mommy can push me, pretty colors and even a bell! And Mommy even bought me the most beautiful hat ever to make sure I am safe. I rode my bike around and around and around, and then I got off.

I love my bike!

Finding Dinosaurs

 

Mommy and Daddy took me to the Austin Science Center, and they have a huge Dino-Pit full of dinosaur fossils. It's the biggest sandbox I ever saw. And although it was way WAY too hot, I had lots of fun digging around in the sand, getting dirty and slinging sand around. Next time maybe you can come with me!

The Zoo gets hot!

We spent so much time at the zoo that I got really, really hot. I drank lots of water, but finally I just had to sit down in the shade and cool off. Phew!

 

A Day at the Zoo

 

I've decided to like zoos.

We visited Nashville this week and one day, we decided to go to the zoo. I enjoyed the meerkats and zebras, but turtles and fish got my attention. Dora and Diego love fish and turtles, so I'm going to love them too. But I couldn't give them hugs because they were behind glass -- no fun!

Charlie is gone

I was named after a nice man named Charlie, who loved me very much, and loved my Mommy and Daddy. I'm told he went to heaven, so after they put him up in a nice place in a garden, I stood there and sang him "twinkle twinkle little star." I think he would have liked it.

This is the flag in his front yard. My daddy planted all those plants and trees and they'll last a really long time, so perhaps he'll be remembered for a very long time too. 8-)

 

Keeping Daddy Cool!

 

Texas is hot. Hot hot hot. It's so hot somedays you can't go outside, because if you do, you'll melt. But my Daddy and I decided to run through sprinklers last weekend, which was fun for a while. But when I took over the hose, Daddy really got to stay cool! (so did his camera)
