Class photos

At my school this year the class photos they took had a "treasures in the attic" theme. Mami and Daddy weren't too sure about that, but some of the pictures came out really cute.
Here I am playing the violin. Sure, it's a prop, but did you know my Mami and my Aunt Melissa play the violin too?



I got to take pictures with my sister Lela, too. We had a great time posing together.


Well, now you all know what you're getting in your stockings this Christmas. :)

Saturday fun

We haven't been posting much because there hasn't been that much going on. Today was a Saturday like any other, but if you want to see what we did, here are some pictures.
We played with playdoh in the morning. (Mami and Daddy quickly regretted not covering the rug...)

Lela and I played dress-up (see how much Lela's got on? And see how little I've got on, maybe "dress down" is more appropriate for me!) and then pretended it was naptime.

We all went on a nature walk and had a picnic at the park. I played on the slide, up and down and up and down.

And we took a family picture to end the day right.

See, nothing that exciting, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

Happy Halloween!

We got to celebrate Halloween twice this year!
Friday was a fall festival at my school, and we were allowed to wear our costumes.
Here's what I was: Cinderella!
Lela dressed up as a bumble bee for about 3 and 1/2 minutes.
She looked adorable but hated her costume so went to school in regular clothes.

Then yesterday, for Halloween, we went trick or treating at Publix, where they had a whole treasure map set up and different stations with fun games and treats.
I was Cinderella again.
Lela refused the bumble bee costume, so Mami improvised a sort of cat costume for her.


(The overall effect is lessened by: a) her insistence on wearing the gator shirt; b) her refusal to take her pacifier out of her mouth without screaming and quite frankly it was a battle I didn't want to fight); and c) her hatred of all hair accoutrement, thus the ears attached to a cap. Sigh.)
But we had a great time at Publix, and everyone said how cute we were. I kept telling people that they were giving me "just too much" candy, and I haven't even eaten a single piece of it yet. I think I liked the idea of getting stuff from people more than I cared about what I was getting!)
And then we got to go out to dinner because Mami wanted to watch the rest of the Florida-Georgia game. (The Gators won. Again.) Lela and I took the chance to check out our loot.
Overall a great holiday, I'd say!
