Some Fall Stuff

This week has been a wet, muddy mess. It was heavy downpour for two days straight earlier this week and it really bummed me out. I love to play outside and all I could do is watch from the window as it just continued to pour down.

Rain...Rain...Go Away!

But, oh well. Have to make the best of it.

All the rain did give me the chance to catch up on some reading.

And the mailman brought me a surprise! My daddy's stuff that he doesn't need anymore until he gets back so he sent it home for me to unpack. I loved playing on the lockers and had fun digging through Daddy's stuff.

And we found a surprise for Mommy! Dad found her this wooden horse jewelry box that one of the locals carved.

Well, the weather has finally cleared up and has left us a huge mess outside. But atleast I can go outside now. I have turned into a very good little helper and am good at thinking of new jobs too. Like today I thought the mulch really needed some good digging. So, Lakota watched me work.

Now, we have learned a couple of for-sure things about the outdoors in the South. 1. The bugs are much bigger than Mommy would like to see. And 2. We never know what we're going to find in our backyard. But, today while we were cleaning the yard we found a couple of little guys that we see quite often. First, I found a little grass frog that got away too quickly, and then I found a little salamander. We see these little guys running across our porch and on our vehicles a lot.

I wonder if I can get him with my shovel?



Shoot! He's too quick! (If you look closely you can see him jumping over the left side of the basket).

Well, he got away...for now. I wonder what I will find tomorrow?...

A Rootin Tootin Halloween

This year for Halloween I was supposed to be an outlaw, but I usually looked to friendly to be an outlaw so I was also a cowboy.

On Thursday night Mom and I went "Trick or Treating Under the Sea" at the aquarium. I got to see so many little goblins and monsters while we were there. The aquarium was also decorated really cool and had fun activities, like watching the scooba-divers carve pumpkins underwater in the shark tank.

"Whoa, Mom check out this huge pumpkin!"

I have been to the aquarium a few times now and always love seeing the frogs (both pretend and real ones).

Mom and Aunt Carissa bought me two little African Dwarf Frogs this summer that we have at home, but I think we should get some of these cool big frogs too.
I had fun trick or treating, but still have some stuff to learn. For example, I didn't like it when people kept putting candy in my pumpkin pail, so I kept throwing the candy out and we came home with only a couple of lollipops.


I had to share my best "outlaw" pose with Kiara and Lakota. Don't we look tough?!
