Silver Dollar

I checked out some of Dad's old coins and he let me keep one of his "Ike" Silver Dollars!

Science Festival

I went to the Science Festival at the Museum of Innovation and Science (miSci) with Caleb. We got to make a tornado in a bottle, saw some cool experiments with liquid nitrogen, had fun making giant bubbles, paper airplanes and fog rings. There was also an exhibit with Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Dad held one and let it crawl on him and I let him put in on my arm for 2 seconds. That was enough of that for me.

Happy Halloween

I had a great Halloween with costume parades at Town Hall, Hillside, KinderCare after-school program and trick-or-treating with my friend Gabrielle and her brother Timothee. Dad wore a Stormtrooper mask to go with the Star Wars theme.

Bookworm & lunchbox drawings

Dad's been helping me fill in my Bookworm Reading Log for school. Every book I read gets written down. Sometimes he draws little pictures of the characters, too. He's also been drawing pictures and leaving notes in my lunchbox every day. And in the days leading up to Halloween, he put sketches of various ghouls and goblins in there, ending with a drawing of my Halloween costume, Darth Vader!

Oh my gourd!

I carved pumpkins with Dad today.

 

Mannequin

Nothing to see here. Just a couple of mannequins in a department store.

Think Pink!

Me, Mom, Dad, a bunch of people from Dad's work and more than 5,000 other people walked in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" event in Albany this morning. Dad's company raised more than $3,000 for the American Cancer Society. I had a good time at the walk, and afterward we went to the NYS Musuem where I rode the carousel, twice.

Go Minions!

This soccer season, I was on the yellow team again, with coach Brian. This year we called ourselves the Minions, after those little yellow guys from the movie "Despicable Me." I learned some new moves and rules and had a good time playing with my team, but I think that maybe halftime snacks and the after-game playground might be my favorite parts of the morning.

Happy Birthday, 'Pa!

Have a Star Wars cupcake.

Braaaaiiinnns!

Went to Fright Fest and blended in with the zombies.
