A holiday weekend of firsts.

I did a few things for the first time this weekend. It was my first chance this season to play in the snow and I went down the hill on the sled all on my own. Mom and Dad took me to my first visit at the Crandall Library where I got to play on the computer and sit in a big chair and read books with Dad. And we got to take some books home with us to read later! After the library, we went to see my first movie at a theater. We saw The Muppets! It was great, and Mom & Dad thought so, too. Plus, Dad let me eat all the popcorn and M&Ms I wanted. On top of all those firsts, I got to have lots of fun with Grandma and 'Pa. I went into the woods with 'Pa and learned to "backtrack" in our footsteps in the snow to help find our way back out. It was a great weekend.

Turkey day snow fun!

There's snow at Grandma 'n 'Pa's house! Mom pulled me around a bit, then I pulled Curious George on the sled. Then I went down the hill all by myself!

Happy Thanksgiving

Stegosaurus hat.

I have a new hat for winter. It's got a row of armored plates, just like a Stegosaurus. ROAR!

Oh my darling, clementine!

Dad showed me how to peel and eat a clementine this morning. It was fun to do and tasty to eat. I had two!

Leaf me alone.

I'm relaxing.

Spaghetti!

We had dinner at Perreca's last night. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. It was yummy. Plus, there was entertainment - a man playing the accordion. Our waitress remembered my name from the last time we were there, and when I finished my dinner, she brought me a cannoli for dessert!

Happy Halloween!

My costume this year is (guess who?) Thomas the Tank Engine! You might remember him from my "Day Out With Thomas" on the train in North Creek, NY. Or maybe from my birthday party theme? Yeah, him. And Dad dressed as the head of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt. There was a Halloween parade at school during the day, then in the evening I went trick-or-treating with Dad, Grandpa L, and Mrs. Sarah & my pal Caleb from next door, who dressed up as a Yankee baseball player!

Ahoy, mateys!

Dad asked me what kind of jack-o-lantern I wanted for Halloween. I asked for a Pirate Pumpkin!
