Cherry Tea Ring

Ms. Beth and I baked again today on this beautiful autumn day. Our new recipe was a Cherry Tea Ring. I especially loved to eat the cherries. Yummy!

Happy Halloween

Auntie JoAnn gave me the spider costume for Halloween. Mama and Obachan bought me the Lady bug jacket with matching red poke-a-dots leggings. Insects are the theme this Halloween!

Grandma's Molasses Cookies

Today Miss Beth and I took a long walk outside enjoying the colors of the leaves, came inside to play with the play dough and then made molasses cookies. I actually helped roll the cookie dough in sugar! Yum!

Pumpkins!

I'm still not understanding the concept of Halloween, but I do enjoy dressing-up. Kaitlyn and Lauren had "amazing" (word I learned from the street, Sesame Street) costumes which we all paraded around the All Seasons room. The entire family gutted and carved pumpkins, both little and small. Grandpa was spicing and roasting the pumpkin seeds. I was fascinated with Grandma's fake, plastic pumpkin, which I carried everywhere. Some of the many great moments that weekend were playing bumper cars with the green bean bags, hiding in the evergreen tree fort, carrying brussel sprouts in a basket followed by dogs, and climbing a tree for autumn photos!

Down Dog

This afternoon we drove down to Ohio to spend the weekend with Grandma Debby & Grandpa Steve for the annual pumpkin carving. My cousins, Kaitlyn and Lauren, will be arriving on Saturday evening. So until then, I kept Grandma and Mommy busy with yoga poses.

Homemade Playdough

I had the most wonderful day today. Ms. Beth made green play dough. Her mom used to make it for her when she was my age. We had the best time being messy and creative. By the end, I had a whole farm on my table complete with snake, chicken, and pig with a cap!
