Almost Turkey Time!

I've recently learned that we will be traveling to Florida for Thanksgiving. Mommy showed me on a map by first explaining which way we drive when we go to Grammie and Gramps' house. We've also been talking about who I will be meeting on our trip. I learned a song at school that will be perfect to sing before we eat Thanksgiving Dinner. It goes like this, sung to the tune of "Where is Thumpkin":

Turkey Dinner, Turkey Dinner
Gather 'round, Gather 'round,
Who will get the drumsticks?
Yummy yummy drumsticks,
All sit down, All sit down.

Hopefully I won't get shy when I sing it in front of everyone next week! Although it is starting to get really cold outside, it doesn't stop me from enjoying the outdoors. We still take New Baby for a walk everyday and play on our bikes. Usually when we are outside, Mommy will do outdoor chores such as watering and raking. I always help her out when I can - I especially love raking!

New Members of the Family

Praying Mantis!!

The front yard has undergone a transformation in the past month! At the beginning of October some men came and cut down the three pine trees in our front yard. Then we waited for what seemed like forever, but some different men finally came and planted a new tree! They also built a wall that I love to jump off when I'm bored! The day before the men came to plant the tree we had a visitor in our front yard that I kept as a pet for about an hour. It was a praying mantis. He was huge, measuring at 4 inches long. I had fun watching him and looking at his big front arms and the thing I loved about him most is every time I sang to him he would turn his head and watch me!

The new Silver Bullet!

Although the praying mantis didn't become a permanent member of our family, someone else did! On Saturday we said goodbye to the Silver Bullet and said hello to a new Silver Bullet! I love it so much! So much that every time we have taken a ride in it I fall asleep!
The day after we bought the new car, we got to have a picnic lunch and take a hike through the woods. We had a really fun time although I will never forget how scary the toilets were...neither will anybody else who heard me screaming in the bathroom.

A Proud Princess!

I can't believe Halloween is already over! There was so much excitement leading up to the big day! We carved our pumpkins the night before Halloween. Daddy helped me with my big pumpkin. First he cut the top off and I helped clean the pumpkin junk out of it. Then, Daddy drew some circles on some paper so I could come up with the perfect pumpkin face. Daddy executed my drawing perfectly - I love my pumpkin! I call my pumpkin the happy pumpkin. Adam and Mommy made a scary pumpkin with sweet potato horns!

On Halloween I went to school; before we left for the day we had a party! I rested in the afternoon to prepare for trick-or-treating! When I woke up Mommy did my hair and makeup so I could be the perfect Princess Elsa! I think I looked gorgeous for the occasion. With my hair and makeup done, I loved dancing around and looking in the mirror. I think it scared Daddy a little bit actually...
After scarfing down dinner, we got to go!! As Adam the werewolf and I set out, we ran into the other Cora who was dressed like Elsa too! We ran to every house together and had so much fun. I was a brave princess too. I walked right up to people dressed up and scary houses without any problem. However, I didn't even make it to 8 o'clock and I was pooped! But I certainly have plenty of candy to prove that I had a successful evening!
