Happy Halloween!

As you may already know, I was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween this year. And Dad dressed up as Woody, the cowboy. It was a Toy Story holiday for sure. I got to wear the costume 3 different times at Halloween: once on Saturday at the parade at Niskayuna Town Hall (they gave out donuts and hot apple cider!); the next time at KinderCare for the school parade and party (I walked with my friend, Sophia, a.k.a. Princess Merida); and finally on Halloween night! That night, G'ma and 'Pa came over, and Aunt Jill, too (she was dressed like sorcerer Mickey Mouse!) We met up with my buddy Caleb (he was Iron Man!) next door and all went trick-or-treating down the street. I'm thinking it might be a good idea if Halloween was every day. Or at least every week.

Bikes!

I was about to go for a walk/ride (on my tricycle) with Dad when my friend Caleb got home. He saw me and decided to get his bike out, too. Then we decided that we'd swap bikes and ride down the street. At first, I wasn't too sure about the bigger, 2-wheel bike (w/ training wheels), but after I tried it out for a while, I was hooked. Maybe I'll ask for one for my birthday.

A nice weekend.

I had a good weekend. The weather was pretty nice and I had fun being (mostly) outside. Went to Bumpy's Polar Freeze and had a Sponge Bob pop (actually, I traded Dad for his soft serve twist cone after about 5 licks). Played a little catch in the backyard with Dad, then went to the library and took out some books. We've been reading Fantastic Mr. Fox and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at bedtime and Dad told me about another book by the same author (Roald Dahl) called James and the Giant Peach, so we got that one, too. Mom picked us up from the library and we went to get lunch at Gus's Hot Dogs, then for ice cream at a place called On The Farm. Dad and Mom did some yard work on Sunday and my friend Caleb from next door came over and we played with trains in the grass. After that, Grandma n' 'Pa came over and we played Chutes and Ladders, watched a movie called "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", had dinner and played a card game called Animal Rummy (Dad helped me and I won 3 out of 4 games). On Sunday night, Dad read 2 more chapters in Charlie and Chocolate Factory, then I closed my eyes and fell asleep in 2.3 seconds. Zzzzzzz.
