Dishwashers-In-Training






Kai & I love to do "BUBBLES!". He's great with the scrubber and I'm learning how to really wash the pots and pans. I think we must have had spaghetti this night...looks like I hadn't washed my face yet! Luv, Elena

EasyBake Adventures

My most exciting gift from Christmas was my EasyBake Oven! I've made cakes, cookies and then there were the cupcakes. Have you ever tried to make cupcakes in an EasyBake?


It's not so easy...Mommy says they should have the pans made correctly after 50+ years or whatever of making them! My poor cupcakes were demolished on the way out of the oven...tops clean tore off. But Mom says frosting can fix just about anything and I finished with a smile!

Bruiser

Warning! Warning! DO NOT DANCE WITH WILD ABANDON TO PRAISE JESUS MUSIC BEFORE YOU'VE EVEN HAD BREAKFAST!



Kai did, though, and then fell on the corner of my nightstand. The knot on his head swelled up so big, so fast, that Mommy could feel it happening under her hand...yuk! Thankfully, it didn't break the skin...but we were afraid it might explode! These pictures are after it started to heal...it gave him two shiners and a nasty scab where he hit. No stitches yet!

Bathing Beauty


Cheese! How do you like my after-bath look? This is my favorite Princess robe. Sometimes I thank God for it in my bedtime prayers. I'm also sporting Mommy's new hair wrap...my hair IS getting pretty long! (Mom's note: I know...3 going on, what?, 14??!)

It's the Great Pumpkin!

We took a family trip to the pumpkin patch at Suburban Lawn & Garden...now THAT's the place to go! First they gave us popcorn to snack on, then we got to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch! It was so exciting...as soon as we got out, I had to go potty, so we got to get right back on the hayride and go up to the building. Mommy & Daddy loved that part. THEN we all rode in a golf cart BACK to the pumpkins...Kai just kept saying "Ride! Ride!" it was right up his alley!













We painted our pumpkins with lots of beautiful craft paints. Mine had a butterfly and rainbow on it. Mommy didn't take pictures, though. I think it had something to do with Kai picking up my 'wet paint' (that doesn't come out) pumpkin after she just cleaned him up and took off his paint shirt. She got over it though...I think. Happy Fall Y'All! Elena

Boo! It's Halloween Fun!

We went to a scary Halloween party at our friends' house this year. It was funny because Mommy & Daddy dressed up too. Oh, that's right, they always dress up for Halloween...maybe THEY are silly rabbits!

One Rootin' tootin' cute Farmer Kai:


Wolverine? That's pretty good Daddy...were you really Logan in the movie?


Mommy from '92, her friend Maria the Gypsy and Marcola the vamptress:


It took me all of three seconds to decide I wanted to dress up like a beautiful princess, five seconds total to decide Cinderella was the one! My favorite line? "It's like a wonderful dream come true!"


The whole crew! It was a fun party, thanks Como's!


Now, the actual night of Halloween, it was brrrrr, "bootie Ma'mer" cold! Mommy bundled us up good and we trick-or-treated our whole block. No junky, funky candy in orange and black wrappers around here...each house offered a smorgasboard of chocolate--full size Hershey bars, Kit Kats, Snickers, bags of goodies and LOTS of M&M's (our favorite!). When Mommy commented today that I sure got some good candy, I just told her the flat out reason--"Well, I'm a good trick-or-treater!". What was she thinking? Like they would give ME licorice!?

So, did I mention I even had a princess fur coat? Kai wanted to wear his Safari hat but it didn't even go...I think that's why he's looking a little bewildered in the last picture...he thought Safari Farmer was just fine! Until next time...boo!

Summertime, summertime...

Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime! Whooo-wheee, we just love summer! Mom is keeping us busy with fun stuff to do every week. It's hard to say what my favorite thing has been...maybe everything.

We went blueberry picking with friends from church. I made a super-yummy pie, just like Little Bear does with his Mother Bear after he picks berries. Kai kinda liked to eat 'em straight from the bush.


Daddy has been refurbishing our playground, so we went to Lowe's for some new swings and such. They have the most awesome car-ts! We drive really well, especially when Mommy spins doughnuts in the wide open isles.


Lately I have been wanting a puppy....well, my friend Maddie just got TWO! Her mommy says we can visit them anytime...I love it, but, as with most dogs, I like their backsides better than their faces. I just don't like doggie licks!


I went to Fairytale Princess Dance Camp for a week the end of June. It was fabulous! I got to learn a different princess dance each night and then had my first recital.


This is a picture from the Cinderella routine. Don't you just love my gown? (Thanks Grandma J.) When I wear it around the house, I like to twirl and say "It's like a wonderful dream come true!"--just like Cinderella herself!


Deanna Rose is the "Farm Zoo" and we've gone a few times this summer. My new fav is feeding the baby goats a bottle...I make them take turns and tell the big ones they've had enough!


Kai has no fear so the slides are right up his alley!


This is Sadie the horse. I have to hold on real tight with both hands, but she still just walks around a path. It would be so much more exciting if the horseys would take off in a gallop!


Hope you all are having a fun summer too! You can say hi by clicking the "# comments" button under this post. I love to hear from friends! See ya soon.
