Beware of Killer Bees

Busy Busy Bee!

Today is Halloween so Mommy and Daddy took me to the mall for this thing they call Trick-or-Treating! Oh my was it SO MUCH FUN! I got to dress up in my bee costume again!

I was armed with my new pumpkin from Grandpa Mike and Mimi Maryann. At first Daddy helped me because I was shy, but it wasn't long before I was walking right up and getting candy from all the people at the stores!

There were lots of people there, including my friend Ruth who was dressed like a ladybug!

After all that work, I need to take a rest and it never takes much arm twisting to convince Daddy to take a snack break!

A bee's work is never done....until next time!

The 2nd Annual WPI Halloween Playdate!

Today I got together with my friends at Fiona's and Brandon's house for our Halloween playdate! Thanks to Mimi, I have Halloween clothes and a costume, too! At first we just played a lot! I got to do my best Ben Folds impression on the Maine organ.

Then our Mommies got us into our costumes. That's always fun. Brandon is a bear, Jenny is a chef, Fiona is a flower, and I'm a bee. Eleni was a lion, but she was a bit camera shy and Conor wanted no part of his costume today so I don't even know what he was supposed to be! This was the best picture we could get!

One little bee wants to buzz outside!

After playing for 2 hours and eating lunch we were all a little crazy. So the Mommies let us watch PBS for a little bit and look at how perfect we are! We all sat on the couch (evenly spaced, too!) and relaxed while the Mommies ate cake and yummy truffles that Conor's mommy made.

But the calm only lasted so long. Conor and I chased each other and then we were caught in the closet together. I hope no one finds out that we were playing Seven Minutes in Heaven!

I had so much fun! Thanks to the LaCamera's for hosting and giving us little treats, too! I can't wait until our Christmas Party!

Munchkins at Munchkinland

Today my friends Joe and Lula invited me to Munchkinland! Another indoor play place! And it was amazing. There was so much to do and it's a big wide open area so the mommies get to enjoy chatting with each other, too, instead of chasing us into all different rooms! It was a blast..we stayed there for two hours! Here Lula and I are riding the horsies! I can't wait to go again!

Hide-n-Seek with Mommy

Today we woke up and had breakfast at the Inn. Then we checked out and walked about Historic Deerfield. To be quite honest, it was not very kid friendly at all. So while Daddy went on a tour, Mommy and I played outside in the cold! She told me about this game called Hide-n-Seek. So I hid while she counted but she found me right away.

I think I'm much better at counting, do you think?

Mini-Vacation with Mommy and Daddy

It was Mommy's break from school so Daddy took a few days off and we headed off to Deerfield, MA. The most popular stop, of course, is Yankee Candle! And boy was it a good time! There were big rocking chairs to hang out in while we waited for our table for lunch.

Then we went shopping! Mommy and Daddy didn't buy anything, but there was still so much to do! I got to drive a little yellow car and I just wanted to sit in it all day long!

The REAL Santa was there, too! I was pretty tentative about him...which is no surprise. But he told great stories! Unbelievable ones even!Then this guy who worked there came up to me to see if I wanted a balloon. He went away for awhile and came back with one and I LOVED it! And so did all the other kids around me...they were asking where I got it!

After our day out, we went back to our room and there was a GIANT bed. I thought for sure that we would all get to sleep in it, but alas, that was only for Mommy and Daddy. This shot was taken right before I bonked my head on the headboard and cried a lot.

I better get a good night's sleep! More fun to come tomorrow!

I must be my mother's daughter...

Uncle Tommy came over tonight. And he brushed my hair before I went to bed. And it put me into a trance. It was awesome...

Rocky Pond Trek

Daddy put me in my backpack (a hand-me-down from my friend, Sawyer) and then wrapped me up in an orange reflector vest to keep away the bullets.

Here's where Daddy hiked me to. It's called Rocky Pond. I think I'll take my hat off now.

If I stand right here they'll think I have a halo intead of hat head.

Snack break! But first we have to pretend to stare at the ground while Daddy takes a picture.

Now what should we do?

It's log! It's log! It's big, it's heavy, it's wood! It's log! It's log! It's better than bad -- it's good!

I guess that's why they call it Rocky Pond. While Daddy was taking this picture...

... I was high-tailing it back to camp.

That sun set really quick. I'm glad I had that hat after all!

Two Peas in a Pod

My buddy Thomas came over to play today. Everything started out great. Our Mommies sang songs while we danced around. Here we are doing Ring-Around-The Rosie.

But things went downhill. I'm not really one who shares. I just don't know how to do that. Everything is "that mine!" even when it isn't. Like, here, I took Thomas's baby (Gay Baby Jimmy). It's clear that Thomas wanted his baby but I didn't give it to him.

But Thomas got me back...don't worry. Or he was trying to mount me. I'm not sure! I didn't like it either way!

Fall Family Fun at Tower Hill

Today was a special treat! It was just the three of us today and that's when I'm happiest. I love Mommy and Daddy the same and I want to be with them both all the time! When one of them is missing, I'm constantly asking the other one where he/she is! Anyway, today we all went to Tower Hill Botanic Garden. It's right in our town and it was a great place to spend a beautiful fall day! I ran around a lot, tried to get away from Mommy and Daddy, and plotted how I could get to the water in this fountain!

Daddy showed me a cool furry caterpillar...which is surprising since Daddy doesn't really like bugs.

And then Daddy got me to sit still for a minute while he snapped this one!

And finally, we went on a hayride! But I was more concerned with finding my belly button!

What a fun day! I wish autumn lasted forever!

The Deodorant Saga Continues...

Today I went over Nanny's and I found her deodorant and I tried it again. And I did it right this time!

You're Doing It Wrong! - Part One

My parents have decided to start posting all my "You're Doing It Wrong" photos. So here is the first one. I like to put on deodorant when Mommy is getting ready in the morning. When we went shopping I put some on in the store...or so I thought...

The Last Zoo Trip of the Year

Today My Little Griffin invited me to the zoo again before the weather gets too cold! We saw lots of animals...like this tall bird (all while having snacks in our strollers!).

Then I shared my snack with this sheep! They have really long tongues! So gross!

And then Griffin dubbed me Princess Toadstool!

And chased me around all day! I played hard to get though!

Thanks for inviting me to the zoo again Griffin! It was great!

Bonus Daddy Day!

Today was Mommy's 10 year college reunion so I hung out with Daddy all day again! He took me to Auntie Maggie's and I had so much fun!

Cousin Teagan and I made silly hair dos and talked on Daddy's iPhone.

I played wiffle ball with the guys

and I worked the camera as usual!

Daddy Day at NN&B!

Today was Daddy Day. You can always tell because my hair is a little more crazy on those days! I took Daddy to my favorite indoor play place today! This time I went fishing without the rod and I caught one!

We played in the pretend diner...

and hide-n-seek around the castle!

It's true...I'm cute AND handy!

And today the cute was in overload! I grabbed the screwdriver and tried to fix my kitchen. I know the batteries are under here and they needed to be replaced!

And look at me all dressed up for school! I'm holding my lunch box...but I just call it "Box"!

Noodle Noggin & Bean!

Today Mommy took me to a new indoor play place and it was AWESOME! It has so many different rooms and I could just move in there!

I loved riding around in the fire truck!

I went fishing in the water room.

I played some hoops!

I rang up Mommy's groceries. One can of soup!

And played a tune on the BIG piano!

Mommy got us a membership so I can play there all the time! What fun!
