Trunk or treat

This Halloween instead of a big carnival, our church hosted Trunk-or-Treat. People in the church decked out their cars (and tractors) and we got to go "treat-treat" from one car to another. Mom and dad were in charge of it, so they didn't get any pictures of my outfit and they also forgot to feed me supper that night! After all of my tears and drama, they finally figured it out and fed me. Thank goodness! Mom says she'll still take a picture of me in my costume with my monster bucket for all of you. But here's a few pics of the fun we had.

good times

I love to play basketball with dad.

Uncle John gave me these japanese animal matching cards last year. I'm starting to get really good at matching.

sometimes the silly japanese pictures throw me for a loop.

Working on a successful alligator match-up.

Baking round 2

Baking round 2; only this time even more messy!


Mom worked late one night, so dad and I ordered pizza in. When the pizza man came and opened the bag, the smell of pizza filled the air. I raced from the living room to the entry and yelled...mmmm..DELICIOUS!

christmas at folkestad's

After supper dad thought some cookies sounded good, he was supposed to make them, but somehow mom and I ended up making cookies. We made PB chocolate kiss cookies...which for some reason only seem to show up at christmas, but we made them anyway.

It was my job to roll the dough in the sugar and put them on the cookie sheet.

They didn't always end up very round...and some had lots of sugar and some had none.

Rolling dough just like mom. I got really good at making snakes out of my dough. Mom wasn't quite as into my idea of snake cookies as I was. All said and done, they were tasty cookies: I had two after my bath tonight!

painting fun

I love to paint! Last weekend we had lots of friends come and help us put a new roof on our house, so I got to spend the day w/ grandma and a new friend. I painted a car and she painted a fish. We had lots of fun and we have a nice new roof. Thank you friends!

fall bonfire

On one of the nice days this fall, dad decided to make a bonfire in the backyard and we had an impromtu campfire complete with hot dogs and smores!

mmmm.....licious!!! (that's my favorite new word!)

I got to watch the first half of the Vikings game with the High Schoolers tonight! It was so much fun! We were in the back yard of Mr. Fisk's! It was cold and raining, but we toughed it out. We sat under a big tent and watched the game on a 10 foot by 12 foot screen! It was so much fun... especially since the Vikings won!
One of the fun parts was that one of the students brought a horn to blow after ever viking Touch Down. I didn't do a very good job at it, but it made Daddy proud to see me try! I think that I am going to like being a Viking fan!

One more thing. Mom and I were later getting to the party. One the way there, all the bars in Wisconsin were PACKED with fans... Apparently the Packer fans are really that "Die Hard," when mom and I came home at half time, most of those same bars looked EMPTY. haha!

Good night, I need to get a good sleep. Daddy tells me there is a really big Twins game tomorrow afternoon. Go Twins!
