Bloody Hands

Tis' the season for bloody hands.

That was our Halloween theme this year. Picked by yours truly, Me!
I was fascinated by these bloody hands since I saw them in Target. I wished we had these for our windows.
So one day Mom and I made a trip to Target and picked up a pair.

Isn't it cool?

Next was pumpkin painting. We decided against carving this year, because we are taking care of Noah and my Aunt Julie. We didn't have time for the mess.

I first tried to paint bloody hands on my pumpkin. It turned out to be a black glob mess. But Mom still displayed it.

Mom painted a witch.


Next, rake the leaves. Our leaves just never stopped piling up. It was as deep as my hip at some point.



Noah came over to help one day this week.


I helped him rake.




We enjoyed making deeper piles and jumping into it.



Then came Halloween.
It was canceled on the 31st and moved to 3 days later, because of Hurricane Sandy. Most of Cleveland lost power
and flooded from the heavy storm. Even my dance studio got wind and flood damage.
Instead, on the 31st we went to my cousin Morgan's house for a costume party.

I was Blueberry muffin (Strawberry Shortcake's friend) and Noah was Spider man.
Mom and I made my costume. It was lot of fun to wear my blue wig.



Grandma let me wear some make up too!


On Saturday the 3rd of November, Daddy & Uncle Shawn took us trick or treating to a few houses. I got cold so I wanted to go back.
I got a lot of yummy treats!
Happy Halloween!

Quick weekend in Chicago

We made a quick trip to Chicago in October. Dad's cousin Karlene was getting married.
I got to spend some time with my Grandma Rosario and her Dog Maxi.




I spent the night at the Butner residents. That was a blast! We baked and played. I was a good girl!
I had a great time seeing my Uncle Mark's new apartment too. I just didn't want to leave.
I miss you Grandma R.!

September Trip to Cincinnati

Trip to Cincy to celebrate Mom & Dad & Aunt Julie & Uncle Shawn's Anniversaries. As well As Aunt Julie's Birthday in September 2012.

We visited a lot of places during this weekend.

First stop was the zoo.










Next stop was the History museum, the Train museum, and the Children's museum. All in one building

In the Train museum, there was an entire room set up as a (to scale) miniture Cincy as the city was in the 1920's. Pretty amazing! Noah and I loved stepping up to watch the train go around.

We are in that building you see in this picture below.
This was the original train station. Some trains do still come so this facility.

Then we walked through the history meseum to learn about the history of Cincy since the 1800's.


Last, my favorite is the Children's museum. I finally got to show my Daddy how much fun this place is.
We pretended grocery shop,


Pretended to play vet, and save sick animals,

and then we pretended to be construction workers and shoveled rocks.


It's fun to play bus driver!


The water table was cool, no I mean really, it was cold. I didn't stay here very long. I built a little boat and played with the pipes.


My favorite was the tree house room. The entire room was a big tree house. We climbed up stairs and ladders to 3 levels of tunnels and rooms in this tree house. Mom, Dad & Uncle Shawn played up here with Noah and I. It was a blast!!



Time to go.  Noah and I cried all the way out. We didn't want to leave. There's Daddy and Aunt Julie.

Trying out for dance

Dance try outs!

I tried out a creative movements class for todlers at the Medina Center for Dance.
The class includes tap and ballet



Mom wasn't allowed to watch, but she waited for me in the hall.
I was very excited! I had so much fun dancing!



This is the front door at my dance studio.


I can't wait to come back again. I decided that I will continue dancing. I may go back to gymnastics next year because I really loved that too. It was a hard decision to make.

Trip to Put N Bay

Just remembering our summer.
We took the ferry over to Put n Bay OH.
We travel by golf cart to the different attractions such as
the winery, mini golf, and the butterfly house.





Barn of old vehicles. Some have been on the island since the 1920's



There is a large park that I ran around and got my wiggles out.





This is the famous Put n Bay Tower





Next stop, the merry go round.



The next day, at the boat, we sun bathed by the pool side.


And floated around all day in the pool.
