Ahoy Thar Matey!

Well, I be the fierce buccaneer Captain Giggle Tush and I be a swashbucklin' pirate on the high seas. I went out to help myself to some landlubber's doubloons and other such booty.

For being such a scallywag, t'was an easy haul and I have much to share wit' me hearties.
So avast, ye scurvy dogs and have a pint o' grog on me! And if ye don't like it, ye can just walk the plank!
Shiver me timbers and Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Here are my pumpkins, my skeleton pajamas and my princess pirate shirt. I am quite a sight, especially when I dance around. Tonight I am going to be a pirate! Yo, ho, yo, ho, it's a pirate's life for me!

Shakespeare In The Park

I like to be dramatic. It snowed here last night, so these pictures were taken a few weeks ago.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.

-Romeo

I Am Three!

So, I turned three yesterday, October 22nd. I think it feels good to be three... I have been waiting to be three for like a whole year now.

Anyway, I had a really great birthday and although it was just Mommy and Daddy with me yesterday for my official birthday, I was really happy that I got to see Nai Nai and Poppy, for a pre-birthday get together and then again with Popo and Grandpa Lew a little later. I also received some good wishes (and gifts) from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Don, and from Aunt Karen, Uncle Kevin and Mayson. Plus some more "good wishes" from additional family and friends! I am very lucky to have so many people that love me and I love you all right back.

Right now, my most favorite song (at least for the next five minutes) is One Little Slip from the movie Chicken Little. I like this movie because of the struggle of the little guy trying to overcome obstacles that seem much larger than he is. I enjoy the contrast of the big sky, big pressure from the town, big bullies, versus the little unlikely hero with little body, little confidence, and low expectations who becomes very powerful with his strong friends, unyielding perseverance and enormous heart and compassion. Plus, I also like the part when he steps on the gum.

So here is a video of One Little Slip by the Barenaked Ladies from the movie Chicken Little and then is my version of that song. This is my gift to you for all your good thoughts on my birthday.

The Leaving of the Leaves

I am taking care of all the leaves that have fallen from the trees. I pick them up and put them in my trailer.
I am being very helpful, but the leaves stay in the trailer. I keep telling Mommy that she is NOT to remove them from the trailer. I don't care how full it gets.

Pumpkins, Corn, and Gondolas

This weekend Nai Nai and Poppy came to visit for the weekend. We got lost in a corn maze, shopped for pumpkins, and went for a gondola ride. The weather was great and we had a fabulous time.

My Funny Faces

Oh, Did I Have Fun!

So I had some fun the other day. We went to the Great Escape for a little fall adventure. Mostly we just hung around,

ate some treats,

met some interesting people,

and drove ourselves crazy.
Wait a minute! Who is driving that car with Daddy?

Oh yeah, that's me. I couldn't see very well so I drove mostly by feel.

We had so much fun it was criminal.

Ha! I crack myself up.
