Anyone Can Cook

My Cousin, Carly, and her cousin, Jack, had a great 5th Birthday with a Ratatouille theme! We made aprons and played games. Each kid made their lasagna, which proved that "Anyone can cook"!

I'll get you, my pretty!

Willa celebrated her third birthday with an awesome Wizard of Oz theme! I came dressed as the Lion, and Willa was Dorothy, of course! I pinned the tail on the lion, threw apples in a basket like in the movie, and skipped with Willa down the yellow brick road! Check out the other "cast" members of her party and this fun picture of Willa making a heart cake for the Tin Man. I had a lot of fun and am enjoying my Wizard of Oz coloring book I received at the party!

Floating Just BeClaus

We took Katie to the Boathouse in Forest Park so she could see Santa!

Yakety Yaks Don't Talk Back

I had big fun with my cousins on the Loop Holiday walk. Like most kids, I'd never seen a yak or a zebra up close, and it was supercool. We also saw a movie, saw some belly dancers, gobbled down lots of cookies, and ate Ethiopian food afterwards!
Iron Age was giving snowman tattoos to brave kids. Before I was too scared to get one, but today I gathered my courage and let them put it on my arm!

Photoshop Fun

The Buzz on Rocks

I had so much fun this weekend with mommy and daddy. Saturday we went to a gem and mineral show, but it wasn't very fun. Everyone kept yelling at me to not touch anything. I begged to go "rock hunting", so we found a geologist who suggested some cutoffs along highway M and 21. We found some FANTASTIC fossils, deer bones, and even a piece of large piece of quartz. I've been begging all week to go back.

These pictures were taken at Bee Tree Park. I was a little scared in the woods (too much Wizard of Oz???), but I had a great time anyway!!

Red hooded sweatshirt!

I may have had the red jacket, but not the hood. I always have a great time with Aidan, and this day was no exception. We didn't get to ride the train, but we did get to eat at the boathouse and feed the ducks afterward.

Dia de los Muertos

This year my mommy wanted to celebrate the life of my great-uncle Tim by remembering him on this day of the dead. He died last year, making my mom sad. He loved to laugh, tell crazy, funny stories, and eat sweets. We spent Christmas with him last year. It meant a lot to my Grandpa Morton who called him his brother. We will miss him.

Trick-o-Treat till the neighbors die of fright

I had a Halloween Blast trick-or-treating with Willa. I saw all my friends from school, including Quinn. We ran from house to house until it was time to go home. Then I begged to go to sleep (it was only 7:30) and refused to wake up the next morning!

The SuperChef of Death

I went to my first official Haunted House. I saw guts and mummies, scarecrows and reapers, cousins and family. I had a lot of fun, but the best was "when we went to eat" at Bandanas afterward with Carly, Randa, Aunt Nancy, and Uncle Paul!
