Thug Life

While Mommy was playing tennis in the park the other day, my friend Donna caught me in a thug-ish moment. I tried to give her the toughest look I have.

Pins & Needles

Halloween is coming up and after such a successful costume last year, Mommy has her work cut out for herself, literally. This year she is going the homemade route, which worries me because her only experience with needles and thread is needlepointing. Here we are in the fabric store looking for the perfect materials for my costume. Hopefully I don't look like a green mess...

The Great Pumpkin

Yesterday we took a road trip upstate in search of the Great Pumpkin. Daddy and I were on the look out when we saw pumpkin patch from the hayride. I was really excited to get pulled by a real tractor and ride in the trailer.

While Daddy was in search for the perfect pumpkin to carve jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, I was still trying to find the Great Pumpkin.

After no luck for me, the tractor picked us back up and we went to the dairy farm to see them milk the cows. Here I am making friends with a newborn calf. Although she was a little jumpy and frightened, she was my favorite.

The Mommies picked a great day for a trip to the country. It was so nice to be out of the city on such a gorgeous fall day. Here's a view of the valley below from Bellvale Creamery on Mt. Peter.

Flashback Sundays

Last year I made a lot of new friends at Gymboree class. Here we all are together for our first group picture. Mommy can't believe how little we were then. We are so sad that our friend Matthew moved away recently and that Daniel will be moving soon too!

I love fall in the city and last year we took full advantage of the wonderful fall weekends. Here we are having a picnic in the park.

Last year I was inspired by the Olympics in Beijing, so I started my gymnastics training early. Daddy said with all the age controversy last year, I may have been able to qualify....he is so silly sometimes.

Working the Zoo Membership

Although you may be tired of my visits to the zoo, I am not....I love it! Thursday I went with my friends to feed the animals lunch and play in the petting zoo. It was so nice to enjoy a crisp fall morning outside with my friends!

Usually the bunny just sits in one spot and sleeps, but this time she was hopping all around the pen. We had so much fun watching and calling out to her. In retrospect, I think we may have been scaring her...

Here is Marci loading us up with goodies for the sheep and goats. Now that I am a little older and wiser, I know that the pellets are for the animals and not for me!

Give the Lady a Boo

Here's another video of Mommy being a riot again. This time the T-Man experienced it as well. If she wasn't so much fun, I might be embarrassed of her.

Mansion of Toys

While in Philadelphia we visited Smith Kids' Play Place in Fairmont Park. Not only was there a 40ft. slide, but there was also a mansion filled with toys and a great playground. Here we are in Smithville stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Big T went with the convertible to pick up chicks and I went for the more sensible sedan.

I had so much fun going down the great big slide. It is by far the highest and longest slide I've ever been on. Mommy was a little nervous for me, but I loved it!

After playing so hard at the Play Place, I took a 30 minute refresher in the car on the way home. Mommy was hoping was a full-on nap, but as we all know, I regulate my own naps and I was too excited to sleep the whole car ride home.

Here we are congratulating each other on a successful trip. Thanks to T-Man and Co. for a fun-filled weekend. It wouldn't have been the same without them!
