Happy Halloleen

 Today was "Halloleen," and my brother Tuck and I had such a great time.  We got to wear costumes, and we got to go Trick or Treating all over the neighborhood.  I was such a good Trick or Treater.  I said "Trick or Treat!" and "Thank you!  Happy Halloleen!" to all my neighbors.  I had to be really brave if I wanted candy.  I wanted to go while it was dark outside, but Mommy and Daddy said there wouldn't be any candy left by then.  I was out with Mommy when it was almost dark outside, and there were lots of dark houses with signs that said "No Candy!"  And when we got back, Daddy had given away almost all our candy.  Around 300 kids, probably more, came to my house to go Trick or Treating!  I got lots and lots of candy, too.  We went home a bunch of times to warm up and empty my bucket because it kept getting too full.  People gave me extra candy because they said I was such a scary ghost.  And everyone said Tuck was the cutest bee.  That was my costume when I was just a little baby, but I let him wear it.  It doesn't fit me anymore.

Every Good Jam Needs a Kazoo

I guess I can hardly blame him for preferring to hang out with Daddy.  This definitely looks like more fun than puzzles and Candyland.

Bananas and Sweet Potatoes

So the first time Mommy gave me rice cereal, I really liked it.  I had four whole bowls!  I knew she had been holding out on me!  But after a while, I realized there was something different about the food that Mommy gave me and the food she and Jack and Daddy ate.  Their food is so... colorful!  And solid!  I wanted what they were having.  I just knew she was STILL holding out on me.  So, I decided I wasn't going to eat that rice junk anymore.  I figured she'd eventually get the message.  No more rice.  No more oatmeal.  I want something with color.  Then one day she let me share a banana with Jack.  It was soooo good!  I could hardly believe it!  Finally, here was something worth opening my mouth for!  And then, a few days later, she gave me this orange stuff she called Sweet Potato.  Daddy is concerned I'm going to turn orange.  Apparently, both Mommy and Jack did.  But I don't care.  If I get to keep eating sweet potatoes, I'll gladly be a pumpkin for Halloween.  Mommy and Jackson have been telling me all about Halloween.  It sounds like so much fun!  Now I just have to figure out how to get Mommy to mash up all that candy.

Jack's 5th and Final Birthday Party of the Year

So last Saturday, Mommy and Daddy had a kid party for me.  It had a camping theme!  My friends and I had so much fun.  I had a cake that looked like a log, and Daddy set the tents up in the backyard for us to play in.  I gave all my friends flashlights, and we got to chase eachother around in the dark.  We even got to have a campfire!  It was so much fun that I want to do it again this weekend.  Mommy says I can't, though.  She says I've had enough birthday parties this year.  
Lillian, John, Me, Leo, Ollie & Greydan all smooshed into the wagon.
