It was a beautiful sunny day, so we headed to my school playground for some fun. It’s the best play structure around!

For Halloween this year, I dressed up as my classmate, Maddie! I made my costume myself, sticking flowers to my clothes and creating a “blankie dress” (Mommy helped with the safety pins.)

First, I went trick-or-treating at my neighbor, Suzi’s, house.

This house was so scary, I ended up not even ringing the doorbell. I just got outta there!

This one was much better.

Once again, my pumpkin bucket was so full, I could hardly carry it by the end. Another successful candy grab!








Happy birthday to my favorite cousin, Kenji! We visited Seattle to celebrate his big day. He specifically requested a rainbow cake.

He liked dipping his finger in the frosting.

Then it was time to blow out the candles.

SUCCESS!

One thing I gave him were my old Duplo blocks.


He liked them as much as I did.


Then the next morning, we went to brunch. Kenji loves to put Daddy’s hood on his head! Happy birthday, Kenji!

Nana and Papa are visiting the Pacific Northwest, so I took them to one of my favorite places – Color Me Mine!

We carved the pumpkins I got at the pumpkin patch! I sketched out their faces on paper so Mommy would know how to carve them.


This is a Teeter Popper, but I’ve repurposed it as lounge furniture.


Daddy is making a short movie with his judo sensei. He bought this hat as a prop. I look pretty good in it, huh?

My first kindergarten field trip was to Lee Farms (where I had many preschool field trips before).
Our school bus was late in arriving, so we spent some time in the library first. Mommy was a chaperone and was in charge of me and Anna.

The first thing we all did when we got there was splash in puddles!

A man told us about a bunch of varieties of pumpkins.

And another man showed us how they made apple cider in the olden days.

We saw a bunch of animals, including chickens. As usual, this was my least favorite part. But Anna loved them all.

Then I picked out my pumpkin! We’re going to carve it before Halloween.

Mommy needed some food for our dinner, so we walked to Safeway. (I danced.)
