beautiful afternoon

The fall weather has been perfect. I like to look up at the trees when the sunlight is making their leaves glow and comment on how pretty they are. Today we found acorns and sticks at Fresh Pond, and we went on some cool secret trails.

caterpillar apples

I noticed that the apples next to me look like a caterpillar! We went apple picking at Carlson Orchards this weekend.

asleep

I fell asleep on the couch because I refused to nap earlier in the day.

cars lined up

I am very particular about the lining up my cars, including what order they are in.

bubble hands

I am a bubble monster. Are you scared?

my truck

This is my yellow truck. I got it as a prize for doing something potty training related.

potty

I am almost potty trained, except for sometimes, and when those times come, there are big messes.

preschool

I started preschool this week. On the first day of school all the parents came to help with the transition. My mother almost lost it when we all sat in a circle and sang. I am such a big kid these days. I love school so far! Today I ran into the classroom and hugged my teacher. So far, so good.

raspberries

We went raspberry picking after school today. There were a lot of bees. I am not a fan of bees.

fake smiling

Nora and I practicing our fake smiles.

playing with cousins

Today I visited my cousins Nora and Zachary for a playdate. We all played a fishing game that I really liked. Nora and Zachary played dress up, but I didn't want to.

scones

One of my favorite weekend activities is having lemon scones with my Dad.

I'm cute

I got a little tan this week.

I learned how to build cool sand castles at the beach.

Sea Isle City

We had a fabulous time visiting family in Sea Isle City, NJ for a few days. This picture was taken a minute before my cousin Lily and I had a little disagreement about whose matts were whose.

playing with Shannon

I insisted on wearing clothes while swimming in the Lake. Shannon didn't.
