Happy Halloween!

I'm excited to go trick or treating tonight.  I'm going to be Rapunzel!  I'll put some more pictures up later.

Riley's Line of the Night

Mommy said that this is one for the blog...

Mommy:  ....well, all you will have to eat is jello.

Riley: That's OK.  I'm a jello addict.

Mommy laughs.

Riley:  Yeah, an attic, like up there (pointing to ceiling).

The Pumpkin Shed Annual Trip

We bought some pumpkins from the pumpkin place yesterday.  We see the pumpkin place with the big pumpkin man when we drive by every day.  I have been waiting and waiting to go there.  Finally we did go there...

Riding Horsies

My friend Kyel had a birthday party at a horse farm.  I didn't know you could have a birthday party there.  I knew you could have parties at SIGS or Chuckie Cheese but not a horse farm. I never heard of that.  It was at night in the barn with the lights on.  I was excited because it was the first time I got to ride a horsey. The first one was named Alice.  Just like our babysitter, ha ha.
 

Luciana got to ride her too.  And she rode a white horse named Finnegan.  Finnegan was a boy but he had a pony tail in his hair for a little while.  

We rode them down and back.  Then we got ride them in between the poles and pick up cups. I learned how to make the horse turn and stop - you say "whoa". I got all of the cups and rings. This horse was named Beauty.

Pre-K Days

I have been going to school for 2 months now.  I have made some friends and learned a lot.  I am practicing my handwriting.  I get to cut stuff with scissors - that is so much fun to cut stuff up!  I have been learning about letters. Every letter has a animal like Ozzie the Octopus and Sammy the Seal.  We learn about God a lot too.

My teacher's name is Mrs. Crone.  She had a meeting with all of the mommies and daddies this week.  So she talked to my Mommy and Daddy about me.  I think she said mostly good stuff but I was busy playing with Luci and showing her the toys in our room.

I know that she said that like coloring and painting art stuff.  Look at this...I painted a snake inside the lines.  Then I painted a rainbow with no lines.  I just had to paint it.  I think they were pretty good.

I have one more day of school tomorrow before fall break.  Guess where I am going to next week then?  Back to Alice's house with Luci.  It will be like I'm a little kid again!  I'll just have to tell those little kids there what to do.

I'm Five!

 

I turned FIVE on September 15th.  I've been waiting for my birthday for a long time.  I always ask how many times we need to turn the calendar to September.  It seemed like it took forever. We had to go to GG's house on my birthday.  So Mommy let me pick Pizza King to eat the day before.  We sat almost all the way to the last one on the train.  And my friend Lyric sat right next to us!  

On my actual birthday I opened up some presents in the morning.  I got a Smurfs movie and a Rapunzel doll.  I had a Rapunzel doll before and I lost it so I was excited to get a new one.  I'm not going to lose this one.  She has animals that braid her hair when you turn the thing.  Then we drove up to GG's so we could go to a shower party for Mommy's cousin Becky.  (Great) Aunt Mary got me a birthday cake with princesses and we ate it after the party.  

I had a party at SIGS with Luci on a day awhile ago.  We had a lot of friends there.  My long time friends were there and I also invited some new friends from school.  Here is a picture of me swinging on the rope there.  It was a lot of fun too. 

 

It was a good birthday.  Now I need to figure out how many times to turn the calendar to the next one. 

Picking Apples at the Farm

Guess what?  We went to the farm today.  Grandma and Grandpa were at our house for the birthday party so they went with us too.  They took us to the zoo and we fed the ponies and bunny rabbits.  They even had some llamas too.  And we fed some fish too.  The fish would open their mouths waiting for the food.  

Mommy told me how to pick the apples.  You turn the bottom up to the sky.  And you don't pick the ones that are on the ground.  Those are yucky and they have bugs and bees on them.

We picked a lot of apples.  It was too heavy to carry.  Daddy had to carry them.
