The Puppet Show

Each week during Lily's gym class, they do a puppet show for the kids. Today, Lily decided to put on a puppet show and dance for us.

Compromise

Today Lily was coloring with markers and wanted to color her arms. I said no. After much "discussion" I let her color her palms. It washed off... mostly.

"I want to try again."

This weekend Aunt Rachel and Uncle Steve came to visit. Lily has a super fun time playing with them. Yesterday we went bowling. Lily really enjoyed it, and although she was not cooperative in taking pictures, I was able to sneak in this video.

Halloween, Take 2

Yesterday we painted the 5 remaining pumpkins. Here is a picture of Lily the pumpkin painter:

"As everyone knows, I LOVE to paint!"

The (first) finished product

Tonight we went to our friends Stacy and Neil's for pizza and to trick or treat in their cul de sac with Sadie, Sara, and David. Here is a picture of our little trick or treater in her Minnie Mouse costume.

"I'm Minnie!"

"I've got my glow jewelry, I've got my pink pumpkin, I'm all ready for trick or treating!"

"Trick or treat! Thank you!"

Halloween, Take 1

Today was the Halloween party at Lily's school. Everyone wore their costumes, then they had a parade, and of course there were cupcakes!

Cupcake frosting on the tongue!

When we got home, we decorated one of Lily's 6 pumpkins with a "Mrs. Potato Head" style pumpkin decorating kit.

"Look at my cute princess pumpkin!"

Singing

On Sunday morning, Lily was in a singing mood. We caught her singing while she was coloring with Grandma.

Farming with Grandma and Grandpa

On Saturday, Lily took a trip with Grandma and Grandpa to a farm in central New Jersey. Lily had a great time looking at all kinds of different animals and she even got to pet a piglet!

"That's a cow? I've never seen a hairy cow before Grandma!"*

*This is a Highlands Scottish Cow

"This is a cool farm Grandpa!"

"Ducks!"

"I've never pet a piggy before!"
