A Very Hobo Halloween

I really like candy. Therefore I really like Halloween. And I got to spend halloween this year with one of my favorite gal pals Ava. I like to call her her Eeba! always with an exclamation point because, you know, it just sounds good. Mommy made my hobo clown costume and then together we made my railcar. It was fun smearing all the red fingerpaint around with Mommy. When Daddy got home we loaded up and headed to the island for trick-or-treating. I was the fastest trick-or-treater ever. Like a professional candy getter. Mostly when the warn stopped I JUMPED out and RAN! Mostly I would run to the right place where the candy people were but I also overdid it a few times. I went in a garage... a house... behind some bushes... but even with these blunders I still got the candy. Sometimes I said trick-or-treat and thank you, but sometimes i just grabbed a piece of candy from the bowl and RAN bcd to the wagon to keep going. After bagging some candy we went to Matt and Natalie's for hot dogs.

All I needed now was a train engineer

it was hard to not touch my face so I was a little smear-y

As soon as the "train" stopped I jumped out to SPRINT up the driveway for more candy!

What's a tootsie roll? And WHY won't you open this bag with Cars on it?

"O, o, o, o" - translation "open, open..."

Nope you can't have this piece

Picture Post

I promise I'll tell you about Halloween next, but real quick for now here are some pictures Mommy took of me Sunday when we went to check out a park.

Caps! Caps for Sale!

Today was a fun day! It was a school day and I like going to school. A lot. And to make it even better it was Character Day!!! I got to dress up as one of my favorite book characters and bring my book with me to school. My class went to a pumpkin patch  where we listened to stories and THEN we got to pick out a pumpkin of our very own to bring home! Mommy helped me pick my character and I went as the "Caps for Sale" peddler. Have you read that book? It's a great book. We almost never read it just one time because as soon as Mommy says "THE END" I say "again! again!" and she always reads it again when I ask. If you don't know the story, the peddler has lots and lots of different colored caps he stacks on his head. He walks up and down the streets in town calling"Caps! Caps for Sale! 50 cents a cap!". One day he takes a nap in the country under a tree and when he wakes up the tree is full of monkeys wearing all the caps except his own! SO here is a picture of the peddler.

And here is me!

I think I might be the cutest thing I ever saw...

Look! I left that cap stealing monkey in the dust.

Just feeling the morning groove.

So I went to school and then I went and played with some friends. SO FUN. And THEN Daddy came home from work with a GREAT BIG pumpkin! Mommy cot off the top and they said we were going to pull out its guts. GROSS.

I don't want to touch SLIMY GUTS!

I don't think I even want to touch inside the pumpkin with a spoon.

Maybe. Well, no actually. I changed my mind and this is the closest I got.

Here I am telling Mommy that I don't want slimy guts on me.

So instead Daddy scooped the yuck from the pumpkin and Mommy picked out some seeds for me to throw. They were still slimy and hard to pick up, but I like throwing things...

That bigger pumpkin next to the smaller two that I got on Saturday is my new one from school!

Mommy is turning the biggest one into Lightning McQueen!
