We love hiking

The family that hikes together, stays together! If that's the case, then we're in it for the long haul because we walk through the woods just about every single weekend.

I have a baby too!

I know mama has a baby in her stomach, and the other day I put lamby under my shirt and told her I had a baby in my belly too! Except mine is a girl and her name is Ropey Rabbit. The one in Mama's is a boy called Michael. (According to me, I named him.)

Good morning

Off to school on a chilly morning! I needed mittens, my puppy hat, the works!

Oscar & Me

Mama took me to an event at Sesame Street office the other day and I got to meet Oscar! I was a little scared of him at first but I touched him and he was made of plastic, so I stood next to him for a photo opp. I said, "He's not real!"

Subway fun

Riding the train is always fun for me, but one way to make it even more exciting? To pretend you're sitting on a carousel! I know it doesn't go up and down, but it does go bumpety bump, and it's good to hold on to something in case of sudden stops. 

Cookie Time!

We went to Ikea the other morning, and I got some new tools for my toy kitchen—a little roller, a cookie sheet, and some little cookie cut outs. Mama said they would work just like real big ones, so we tested them out! They certainly did.  

Halloween!

I could get used to this Halloween. It lasts for days and days and candy just keeps piling up. Today I even ate some candy for breakfast until Daddy realized what I was doing and told me that 7:30am is not an appropriate time for chocolate. I beg to differ. So do the French.

I wore my costume to school, and that was fun. We even had open mic and I got up on stage and sang Twinkle, Twinkle.

 Then Daddy and me took the bus to the train and went into Manhattan to visit Mama at work. She works in a really tall building where there's candy outside every office and cartoons on TV in the offices. Maybe I should get a job?

 Here's what I would look like if I had a job in a big office building, only instead of staring intently at emails or spreadsheets I would be staring intently at Team Umizoomi.

Did someone here report a fire?

 Mama had some funny Halloween parade so she made me change into this outfit because I'm supposed to be some famous kid in Hollywood. I don't quite get it, since this is an outfit I sometimes wear anyway, but I went along with it because there was candy involved.

Which way to the parade?


We finished the day with more trick and treating and then a party at Alina's house, who lives next door to the famous Halloween House where they do this big show. I had a cupcake for dinner. Then pizza for dessert. Halloween rules!
